As Cheney Seizes Spotlight, Many Republicans Wince

[Nonno]

"As vice president, Richard B. Cheney famously spent much of the past eight years in undisclosed locations and offering private advice to President George W. Bush. But past was not prologue.

"Today Cheney is the most visible -- and controversial -- critic of President Obama's national security policies and, to the alarm of many people in the Republican Party, the most forceful and uncompromising defender of the Bush administration's record. His running argument with the new administration has spawned a noisy side debate all its own: By leading the criticism, is Cheney doing more harm than good to the causes he has taken up and to the political well-being of his party?"

""He's perfectly entitled to make his case, and given that Dick Cheney is as popular as Britney Spears at a Sunday school teacher convention, we hope he continues to be the face of the Republican Party," said Hari Sevugan, national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee. "His continued presence reminds people that the GOP is unwilling to put forward new ideas or leadership, and so long as he continues to be the voice of the Republican cause, he ensures that the Republican Party will remain the party of the past."

I'm not (and won't be) a WaPo member, so I can't read the article. Does it ever quote these mythological Republicans who find Cheney's remarks a problem, or just Democrats who believe it to be true?

You can laugh at me for not wanting even more spam in my e-mail than I get now, but I won't sign up for any more sites to read things I'm not that interested in reading in the first place.

How did you get any issue of cost in my post regarding spam e-mails I don't want to get by signing up for websites? You sound like Nuck now, arguing the point you understand instead of the point being presented to you.

Thank you.

It had what I thought - one unnamed source who kinda thought maybe Cheney was sorta not as right as that unnamed source would like him to be.

Strong, strong stuff there.

You construct points from articles you don't read.
