He is very wrong on this one. KBH just needs to retire.

I don’t care that he’s “friends” with KBH — just more proof that he is actually part of the establishment.

I don’t care that he got his feelings hurt because Bush didn’t do everything he wanted — that is the kind of small, petty backstabbing and personal politics that Dede is engaging in by endorsing the DEMOCRAT.

If KBH loses the primary, will Cheney pull a Scuzzy and endorse the Dem?

I understand the impulse to give him a pass because of who he is and what he’s done for us. But really, can we afford to do so?

We must expect the best from our best men. I’m not saying we should throw him under the bus, but I’m mad as hell about this.

He is wrong.

I love Dick Cheney and in a way I respect that he is supporting his “friend”. KBH is no Dede Suzzball but KBH is not what Texas needs to stand up to the socialists either.

and Cheney may be wrong on this one. But I think he is in no way part of the establishment. He is courageously standing up to Obama, and opening his mouth to do so. No “establishment” Republicans, including, most conspicuously, ones named Bush, are doing so as effectively, or boldly.

My theory is that Dick Cheney is still pissed at Bush for various reasons.

“When the president made decisions that I didn’t agree with, I still supported him and didn’t go out and undercut him. Now we’re talking about after we’ve left office, I have strong feelings about what happened …. And I don’t have any reason not to forthrightly express those views.”

Rick Perry is a legacy of Bush.

Dick Cheney is friends with KBH and her husband. This might actually boost Perry. As the left and the moderates were rushing to KBH, they might re-think their support if the “evil” Dick Cheney is for KBH.

In this regard – Cheney is doing his imitation of Newt.
