Not only was Cheney easily handled in an embarrassing exchange with Wolf Blitzer, more importantly, less than 35% of the country trust him or Bush. That makes him a failure at what is conceivably the most important job of his lifetime.

Failing twice out of Yale is just pathetic on many levels, and further fortifies his arrogance, IMO.

Of course you are incorrect about the career politician part, as Cheney traces back to I believe the Reagan administration, if not, Ford.

But, for all that experience, he still hasn't learned that a person can't simply ram-rod their philosophies through government such as what he wants to do with increased troop levels in Iraq.

Face it. At present, Cheney is desperate. He and his boss have lost America's confidence, and they have lost Iraq.

Being a failure at life and life's experiences only punctuates how ill-informed and irresponsible his vice presidency has been.
