re: #179 Cato the Elder

Look, all I said was - speculatively - that Cheney would probably have preferred if his daughter’s sexuality had not become public knowledge. Then I gave him props for the way he acted when it did.

I also think Cheney’s primary loyalties are and always have been to his oil buddies, Halliburton and the Carlyle Group. Country a distant second. And he was definitely put in place to wrangle GWB in the early days of his presidency, because certain people thought their puppet might need some extra string-jerking.

If you want to keep blowing gaskets over that, they’re your gaskets.

Do you also think that George Schultz got into government to advance the fortunes of the Bechtel corporation?
