Dick Cheney and the Agony of Deceit

September 8, 2011 By Michael Sigman Leave a Comment

Michael Sigman: Cheney shames the truth-shading of other political memoirs, instead spinning a story that flies in the face of common sense while it contradicts the more plausible accounts of such fellow Republicans as Colin Powell, Condi Rice and even his former boss, George W. Bush.

Brenth Budowsky: What is
astounding and incomprehensible is the degree that Obama and too many Democrats have surrendered on first principle policies where the majority of voters agree with the
progressives.

Wayne Williams: Mike was cantankerous, brilliant, stubborn, and, of course, funny. He never knew his parents, was adopted and raised by a casino boss, served with the U.S. Marines in Korea, wrote for many comedy shows and comics, and wrote perfect prose to his hearts content, performed stand up himself, and taught others how to do so as well.

Steve Hochstadt: Is Hollywood trying to push a gay agenda on right-thinking Americans, as some people claim? I think it’s the other way around: Hollywood is trying to sell products.
