For those who didn't read the entire series in the Post about Cheney, the New Yorker has posted a nice summary on-line.

Money quote:

He is pathologically (but purposefully) secretive; treacherous toward colleagues; coldly manipulative of the callow, lazy, and ignorant President he serves; contemptuous of public opinion; and dismissive not only of international law (a fairly standard attitude for conservatives of his stripe) but also of the very idea that the Constitution and laws of the United States, including laws signed by his nominal superior, can be construed to limit the power of the executive to take any action that can plausibly be classified as part of an endless, endlessly expandable ?war on terror.?

Cheney is worse than other infamously awful vice presidents -- Calhoun, Colfax, Nixon, Agnew, Quayle -- in U.S. history.


Cheney acts like Goebells did to Hitler...and of course Bush acts like........ (bladerunner - 7/5/2007 9:18:45 PM)


Addendum (Gustavus - 7/6/2007 3:40:21 PM)
According to this post on TPM, 54% of Americans believe that Cheney should be impeached.  It is only after Cheney is gone that we could safely impeach Bush!
