When Does Dick Cheney Become Merely an Historical Footnote?
Dick Cheney is whining about how Bush didn’t pardon Scooter Libby, calling the Libby conviction a “miscarriage of justice.” The real injustice here is that anyone other than historians are puclishing any of Cheney’s words. Would that Cheney went the way of the Evans-Novak Report, which ceases publication next week.

1. He becomes a footnote when
the truth of the Bush Administration is told.

4. Never. He needs to remain an icon of everything evil. Don't let people forget.

5. When he's been charged, tried, and convicted of his crimes, and has been
locked in a cell for the rest of his life.

Once that news cycle dies down, Cheney will just be a footnote.

7. He should forever
be held up as an example of what can happen to a country not paying attention. Misery and evil.

8. There were plenty paying attention
It is just that far, far too many had drunk the Cheney koolaid as dished out by FauxNews, Rush, etc.

9. The evil that men do lives after them
I'm afraid he's going to be around a long time, even haunting us from beyond the grave.
