I’m gonna ditto all that. Cheney, like everyone else, has the right to free speech, even if he was de facto President for the last 8 years. Indeed, it is former national leaders who are paid the most for their speeches. I’ve read that the main reason Bush II even wanted to be Prez was so he could make an assload of money on the speaking circuit. In the same way that it would be nice if Rush were to STFU, it would be nice if Cheney were to STFU, but they both have the right to say whatever stupid ass thing they want. However, as do many others, I take it as a mixed blessing, his words these days seem 100% out of touch with reality, and the more he speaks the more people move away from his dangerous mindset. So I think ultimately, it’s for the good of the country if he doesn’t disappear with his tail between his legs, lest people forget how batshit crazy the neocons were and we end up repeating the same mistakes.
