3 Debates I'm Sick Of

I felt that way about Cheney until relatively recently. I thought he was conservative, but a Wyoming-sort of sensible albeit right-wing conservativism that I might not agree with but could respect. I thought he was fairly pragmatic, too. But he is the villain of the Suskind book -- he appears to have succumbed to hubris. He's ideological now, instead of pragmatic. He seems to think he has all the answers, and he appears to be running things in the White House so that only his views are heard by Bush.

Incidentally, some people think they see signs that some more pragmatic Republicans -- think Jim Baker or Brent Scowcroft -- are making a move to get Cheney out of there before the campaign starts in earnest. If so, most of us won't know much about it until it's over.
