Bush’s Scrooge is making some final appearances and, true to his nature, giving us “Bah, humbug” to the very end.
Almost six years, 4210 American lives and trillions of dollars after the Iraq invasion, the Vice President tells us “the world is better off with Saddam gone…This was a bad actor.”
Torture? “Did it produce the desired results? I think it did…it’s been a remarkably successful effort. I think the results speak for themselves.”
William Kristol, in his fond farewell, assures Cheney “Popularity Isn’t Everything” as a new poll shows 23 percent of Americans ranking him as the worst vice president ever. But the VP, who picked himself for the job, doesn’t require solace. “I’m very comfortable,” he says. “with where we are and what we achieved substantively. And frankly, I would not want to be one of those guys who spends all his time reading the polls.”
