Cheney II: The 'Stache

Allah is hit and miss with his "quotes of the day". Sometimes I can't figure out why he's linking.
In this one, I actually found a quote of the day in one of the links to stories about Bolton
Quote
I am a plain-speaker, and in America, plain speaking is a virtue. Although they may not say it publicly, foreign diplomats will tell you in private that they think it’s a virtue, too. People want to know where America stands.’


And Bingo was his name-o.
The free world is finding out that there are worse things than a cowboy-American running roughshod over good manners and liberal pieties.

I don't think Bolton has a chance in hell of being president, but I think he could be a Cheney-like VP. Especially considering the times. Americans are ready to listen to stuff like that and Minitru is not trusted so it's harder to twist.
Cheney's job was to say common-sense stuff in such a way as to drive the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc. into a frothing frenzy. They would report what he said all OUTRAGED!!!!! but your average American would say, "Huh, but that makes sense."
He's about the only Republican who could get his message out undiluted, altered or spun. You know, unless that Republican was bashing Republicans.

Barring Sarah Palin, I think he would be a good choice for VP for someone.
Palin wouldn't need him as VP and she's almost as good as Cheney so she could be a similar VP.
