NEVER A GOOD IDEA TO LEAVE THE PRESIDENT TWISTING IN THE WIND:
The effort failed, but the snub by the Texas Lone Ranger has left Cheney furious. The New York Daily News quoted a Cheney associate as saying that Cheney "tried to make it happen right up until the very end," pressing his case in many conversations, both in person and on the phone. Cheney was relentless, said one ally. He went to the mat and came back and back and back at Bush. He was still trying the day before President Obama was sworn in.
Mr. Cheney must have read Daily Kos and thought he ran the Administration.
