Letting Cheney head up his vetting was the biggest mistake W made. I do wonder who he would ahev chosen if Cheney hadn’t told W to pick Cheney. I just remember not having a clue who Dick Cheney was and thinking it was a sort of out there pick.
I actually had good memories of Cheney from GHWB’s administration, explaining rationally why we didn’t go into Iraq after kicking Saddam out of Kuwait. One can only assume either he was lying through his teeth, or something flipped a switch.
