If only the administration of the most powerful free nation in the world was as easy as making a hollywood movie, the Libs would be good at it!!! They are good at make-believe, though.
Cheney got miffed when Bush finally did something he didn’t approve of - not pardoning Scooter. Now it’s going in his memoir. He’s gonna punish that little punk for gettin’ outta line…
“When a stupid man comes into company
he’d better be silent;
no one will notice that he knows nothing
unless he talks a lot.”
– Hávamál sometimes known as “Songs of the High One [Odin]”
Translated by Patricia Ann Terry.
Since, as motivemagnus has noted, the Hávamál seems to be spot on at describing figures like Richard Bruce Cheney, I can’t help recalling the most often-cited strophe :
Beasts die,
Kinsmen die,
You, too, will die.
One thing I know that never dies,
A dead man’s repute.
(my translation from a Swedish translation)
One can only hope that what will remain of Mr Cheney and his deeds will not be taken as a source of inspiration by future generations (torturers excepted)….

He was the power, the brains, and the ambition behind the throne. Bush was a figurehead, Cheney was his puppet master.

“Then a little teat for tat…”
Are you calling Cheney a big boob?
Now, THAT I can agree with.

So… Cheney’s, like… seriously blowing it, then by opening his mouth.
Better to remain silent and have people assume you’re a villain, than open your mouth and remove all doubt… to adapt a proverb.
