The absolute MUST-read of the week is Matt Labash’s tremendously engaging account of going fly fishing with Dick Cheney. I must admit that no matter what calumny gets heaped upon Cheney, I have not lost one bit of admiration for him. I think he has received, in terms of public perceptions, an incredibly raw deal. He’s a great American. Labash’s account also makes him out to be an all-around great guy. It’s good to see the supposed Darth Vader humanized like this — I just wish every American could read this piece, because then Cheney might appear to be less Darth Vader and more…. oh, I dunno, Ben Kenobi doesn’t really work, but you get the idea……
