Dick Cheney should go quietly . . .

Much as I hate to say something positive about George W. Bush, he shines as an example of post-presidential decorum compared to his Veep Dick Cheney, who today said this in a speech to the Wyoming Republican Party:

"The performance now of Barack Obama as he staffs up the national security team for the second term is dismal. . . .  Frankly, what he has appointed are second-rate people."

This from the man, who more than anyone else perhaps, given his influence, brought us the debacle of the Iraq war.

If we want to start comparing quality of nominees, I have just two words for the Bush/Cheney team:  Harriet Myers.
