More Cheney love here, and more to come

Hey-O! I like the phrasing in this excerpt, but it's an excellent piece. For someone who was going to put aside the old ways of politics, it sure does take someone special to rehab the image of Dick Cheney - the defenses keep coming:

Think about that. Back in those heady days after the 2008 election, anyone who suggested that Mr. Obama might find himself playing defense to Dick Cheney on Guantanamo would have been hauled off as barking mad. Yet that's exactly what Mr. Cheney has pulled off, leaving a desperate White House to try to drown him out by adding an Obama speech the same day Mr. Cheney was slated to address the American Enterprise Institute.
