The next time a presidential candidate picks VP candidate
and tells us that person will be a partner, this nation should run like hell. Cheney was given a pass because he was seen as the adult that would keep Jr. in check. Unfortunately, Cheney needs someone to keep him in check. We ended up with a shadow presidency--a maniacal codependency that is destroying this nation.

3. Cheney picked himself, IIRC.
And Cheney's not really in charge either. Corporate America is in charge, and Cheney is their lead advocate. Sort of the Chairman of the Board of the United States.
