What a great article Mr. Lott has brought us here. Mrs. Cheney is a tremendously underrated politician/bureaucrat and an absolutely brilliant woman. She and Dick Cheney have been tremendous assets to this administration. Unfortunately the President has discarded some tremendously talented assets, like John Ashcroft at Justice, Porter Goss at CIA, Donald Rumsfeld at Defense, Amb. Bolton at the UN, Gen. Peter Pace as CJCS, and Adm. G as his number 2, and others. All the while giving us a plethora of Clinton holdovers well into the first term, while trying to jam unqualified candidates down our throats like Harriet Miers for SCOTUS, while giving us Alberto Gonzales at Justice to succeed Ashcroft.

All the while Bush absolutely refuses to defend himself and his administration from the vicious attacks from Capitol Hill, and the news media, and the radical activist Left. No, for almost 7 years now we have been charged to “change the tone.” Well, the tone has indeed changed, it has gotten orders of magnitude worse.
