"How many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth? In our judgment, not very many"

When George W. picked Dick Cheney to be his veep in 2000, I was somewhat relieved. I remembered Cheney as a sober Secretary of Defense who seemed much more of an establishment Republican than the reactionary kind (there is a big difference, and the former is much preferable). Practicality seemed to be his M.O. He was an adult in a town of children.

Have you forgotten that Cheney? Watch and marvel at a flip-flop that even Mitt Romney would envy.

 

Dick Cheney or Phil Leotardo?

Check out this quiz comparing quotes from the veep and the New York mob boss on "The Sopranos." You'll find they have much in common.

The last throes

"The level of activity that we see today from a military standpoint, I think, will clearly decline. I think they're in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency."

Dick Cheney, from May 30, 2005.

Cheney also predicts the Atlanta Hawks will win the NBA title next season and Chris Dodd will be the Democratic nominee for president in 2008.
