Believe me Cheney, you were not alone in your disappointment.

“He’d showed an independence that Cheney didn’t see coming. It was clear that Cheney’s doctrine was cast-iron strength at all times — never apologize, never explain — and Bush moved toward the conciliatory.”
Yeah, no bias at all from the unnamed “participant” in the talks with Dick Cheney.
This person also praised President Bush as being “independent”.
Alas, if that were only the case.
The only thing Bush was “independent” from, was the solid conservatism represented by the likes of the redoubtable Dick Cheney.

Too bad the ticket couldn't have been Cheney/Bush with Pres. Cheney keeping Bush visiting factories and attending funerals of foreign dignitaries.

Those of us who see Bush clearly don’t need direct quotes from Cheney to understand how severely Bush failed in many many of his policies.

Concur...Bush was clearly out of his element. I wish that it had been Cheney who headed the ticket with Bush, like his old man before him, gaining experience as VP. There wouldn’t have been a “Florida” to count on in 2000 because Cheney would have wiped the floor with Gore. I also think if that Cheney would have had more of a Reagan type of presidentcy and we would have had Bush now in office instead of OWEbummer as prez.
