I can't really recommend this weeks screed by Eugene Robinson, Old Faithful of Nonsense, in part because his slurs against the state of Wyoming are personally offensive, but also because he adds little new information or insight into his subject, the post power presence of Grinning Dick in a world that would largely like to him to go away. The exception is this one bit concerning Cheney's expressed preference that the Republican party look more like Rush Limbaugh than Colin Powell: "Let’s see: Given a choice between a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and secretary of state who has given to his nation a lifetime of exemplary public service or an entertainer who brags about how much money he makes from bombast and bluster, Cheney would go with the gasbag."
