We still love him:
Close to10,000 people crowded into the Bakersfield Business Conference’s main tent to see former Vice President Dick Cheney be “interviewed” by Lynne Cheney, his wife of 46 years.
Collecting that many people all under one tent roof is a sight to see, and Mrs. Cheney commented on what a great crowd the conference had brought together.
“It’s almost enough to make you want to run for office again,” the former vice president quipped. “Almost.”…
It seems that our former VP is ailing, and taking a look at recent pictures, I have to say I’m concerned he might not be with us too much longer. But it is heartwarming to see that 10,000 of my fellow Americans are willing to go hear him speak – it is testimony to the great service he has rendered our nation in a long life of politics.
Is Dick Cheney without sin? No man is. He’s made his mistakes as all of us have. But he’s a good man who has tried to do what he thought was right, and he helped us through two major crisis (end of the Vietnam War, 9/11).
I wish the former Vice President the best, and I express my thanks for his service to our nation.
