Hilariously dead on article about the sport that is Hating Cheney. Basically they argue that the he’s way too much a pathetic, stress-ridden, mopey misanthropic ass-kisser to be the omnipotent Darth Vader everyone thinks he is.

Far from being the Richelieu of latter-day America, Cheney is the ultimate organization man, an insecure yes man whose balls are so tightly in the vise that he’s always struggling not break down and cry. If anything, he’s the Larry Tate of contemporary politics, a shameless ass-kisser who changes his opinions to flatter those in power, just like Darren Stephen’s “bombastic boss” on Bewitched did. There’s something about his demeanor that, to me anyway, suggests his entire adult life has been one never-ending Maalox moment—that he’s always choking down a sour stomach.
