Question-O'-The-Day: Cheney edition

By GottaLaff

Dan Froomkin always has something interesting to say. Today, it's in the form of a question, and it's about the Nation of Dick:

Vice President Cheney doesn't act in plain view, so discerning his influence on the Bush presidency has always been a bit of a guessing game. And in the wake of the White House's shift on Iran policy -- from saber-rattling to talking -- one guess is that Cheney's influence, at least on this issue, is waning.

Could it be that President Bush is listening less to his hawkish vice president in hopes of leaving behind a somewhat less toxic foreign-policy legacy?

I might be inclined to believe that if it were the case that Bush knew what the word "legacy" meant. Last time I checked, he thought it referred to these.
