> W. is the hood ornament, but Cheney & Rummy are the chitty chitty
> bang bang engine of this administration. Their four-decade
> friendship stretches from Nixon to Bush II, from Vietnam to
> Vietnam II.

> It’s a beautiful love story, really, even more touching than Ted
> Haggard, the evangelical preacher and Bush White House adviser,
> asking a male prostitute for crystal meth, or Borat putting a bag
> over the head of a squealing Pamela Anderson and carrying her off.
>
> The country, the world, a growing number in their party, and some
> of the president’s own family may object to the star-crossed match
> of Cheney & Rummy, but the two men are secure in each other’s
> embrace. They’ve had tons of fun, from unmanning Colin Powell to
> unraveling the Geneva Conventions to undoing half a century of
> American foreign policy to unnerving the small Chesapeake Bay town
> of St. Michaels, Md., where they have bought weekend estates near
> each other.
