For a good long time, I’ve been of the belief that Vice President Dick Cheney is not only dangerous, but that he hasn’t really done a good job as Vice President. I’ve always known I wasn’t alone in my feelings towards VP Cheney, but I suppose I never realized just how many Americans agreed with me. According to a a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, almost a quarter of those polled labeled Cheney as the country’s worst vice president when compared with his predecessors:
Twenty-three percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday say that Cheney is the country’s worst vice president, when compared with his predecessors.
An additional 41 percent feel that Cheney is a poor vice president, with 34 percent rating him a good number two.
And since I’m writing about VP Cheney, here’s my favorite Dick Cheney moment, circa 1994:
It’s just too bad the 2001 version of Dick Cheney didn’t listen to the 1994 version of Dick Cheney, because if he had, perhaps 4,212 Americans wouldn’t have lost their lives.
Worst. VP. Ever. Absolutely. I liked him better when his location was undisclosed. Seeing his mug on the tube and the web so often lately has been decidedly depressing. I think he’s gone around the twist, myself. All that power he grabbed has gone to his head and addled his brains.
Great video, Zach. Thanks for posting it!
You’re welcome, Mary Ray.
To be honest, I’ve not understood since 9/11 why so many on the right have lauded GWB and Cheney for “Keeping America safe,” as if 9/11 happened during some other administration. Add in the Iraq quagmire and the terrible economy, and I think it’s safe to say this administration – of which Dick Cheney is so proud to have played a leading role – will be remembered as one of the worst in our nation’s history.
