Report: Cheney felt Bush stopped taking his advice

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney believes his old boss, President George W. Bush, gradually turned away from his advice during their second term in the White House, showing a surprising independence as he started taking more flexible positions on a range of issues, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

Cheney, often described as the most influential vice president in U.S. history, has been discussing his years in office in informal talks with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues, the Post said, as he works on a memoir due out in 2011 from Simon & Schuster's Threshold Editions.

Robert Barnett, who negotiated Cheney's book contract, passed word to potential publishers that the memoir would be packed with news, said the article published on the Post Web site, and Cheney himself has said, without explanation, that "the statute of limitations has expired" on many of his secrets......

"In the second term, he felt Bush was moving away from him," Gellman quoted a participant in the recent gathering, describing Cheney's reply. "He said Bush was shackled by the public reaction and the criticism he took. Bush was more malleable to that. The implication was that Bush had gone soft on him, or rather Bush had hardened against Cheney's advice. He'd showed an independence that Cheney didn't see coming."


This article just reconfirms for me what an evil man he is.
hmmmm, Cheney you do know there is no statute of limitations for murder.

2. I heard this! I think he's covering his ass...
Bush was in no way bending to public reaction! What bullshit.

I hate you Dick Cheney. I really wish I believed in HELL because there's not much better than thinking of you there.

4. Cheney was too much of a coward to run for president.
Instead he chose to stand in the shadows pulling his puppet's strings.

Fuck you, Dick Cheney. Hell has a special place for you.
