Mr. Vice President, It's Time To Go Bob Herbert NYTimes
Mr. Vice President, It's Time to Go
By BOB HERBERT
It's time for Dick Cheney to step down — for the sake of the country and for the sake of the Bush administration.

Mr. Cheney's bumbling conduct at the upscale Armstrong Ranch in South Texas seemed hilarious at first. But when we learned that Harry Whittington had suffered a mild heart attack after being shot by the vice president in a hunting accident, it became clear that a more sober assessment of the fiasco at the ranch and, inevitably, Mr. Cheney's controversial and even bizarre behavior as vice president was in order.

There's a reason Dick Cheney is obsessive about shunning the spotlight. His record is not the kind you want to hold up for intense scrutiny.

that we refuse cheney the spotlight, laserpoint, I say. Let's shine all the light possible on him and his "record of systemic and miserable failures".
