Won’t run if nominated, won’t serve if elected

“I’m a longtime member of a pretty select group: the Dick Cheney Fan Club. Chapters gather in phone booths, refrigerator boxes and, at the annual convention, we take up three whole booths in the back of a nearby Arby’s.
Why do I like Dick Cheney? Because at a time when everybody talks a big game about how they don’t like people-pleasing politicians who live by the polls, Cheney is pretty much the only guy out there who walks the walk. He truly doesn’t care what people think about him. I love that.”
– Jonah Goldberg
Yup — me, too. I, like Mr. Goldberg, father of Cosmo (the “It” Dog of the American Right), am also a card-carrying member of “the Club.” I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I just adore that Dick Cheney. It should be obvious, then, that I’m having a pretty pleasant week. After all, he was officially President for a couple hours and, during that time, I felt as if… well, as if it were morning again in America. An hour of yoga and a dirty martini can’t even bring me to that state of nirvana. And what did the VP/temporary POTUS do during those hours? He spent quality time with the boys: Jackson and Dave. (I like to think of them as the First Labbies.) Now he’s fresh out of the hospital, batteries replaced, and ready to get back to work.
It’s been a big Cheney week: Stephen Hayes is out there with a hefty book and he’s all over TV to promote it. Caught an interview on FNC and another one today on C-SPAN 2 – a delightful chat with Jim Bohannon. When asked about Cheney’s future, Hayes said that he’s done. He won’t seek any other office, he’s finished with public service, he won’t go back to the private sector – no, he’s just going to go be a grandfather and catch up on some fishing.
In a secure and undisclosed location, no doubt.
