Verbal Diarleah (The Diary of Leah)

Would someone please tell Dick Cheney he is no longer the Vice-President and his opinion no longer matters?

The president will address…national security, in his speech Thursday…

Former Vice President Dick Cheney…is slated to give an opposing argument Thursday morning. Cheney has charged that Obama’s national security decisions have left the United States more vulnerable to attack.

You had your eight years; now go retire somewhere like all the other former Presidents and Vice-Presidents. Or, if you feel you need to carry on, a la Al Gore, at least choose a topic on which your own administration didn’t cock things up so badly. Al Gore was arguably more respected after being VP because he took up the mantle of fighting climate change. Perhaps good ol’ Dick could start lecturing on the best paper shredders on the market or how-to guides on electoral fraud. Hell I don’t know; just someone get him off the national stage.
