WASHINGTON In February 2008, an aide sent a news article to Vice President Dick Cheney reporting that former Secretary of State Colin L. Powell might vote for a Democrat for president. Sections were highlighted in yellow, and someone had circled a quotation from Mr. Powell in which he said America had lost a lot of prestige around the world.
Mr. Cheney recorded no reaction, but one can imagine some consternation at what the vice president presumably deemed disloyalty to the administration that both of them had served. Mr. Powell had been the vice presidents chief internal adversary during President George W. Bushs first term and had grown disaffected. An aide clearly understood that Mr. Cheney would want to know the latest.

I admired Dick Cheney for the way he would ignore and almost mock the criticism the Left threw at him during the Bush/Cheney administration.
A true Patriot.
Looks like he's still living rent-free in their heads.

It seems that Cheney was a good judge of Powell’s character (or rather, lack of character). Many people in this site were having organisms over the thought of a “President Powell” only because of his skin color.

"Many people in this site were having organisms..." You mean "orgasms"? Hee! Hee!

Yes, an organism is like a Gorbasm only more melodic.

Dick Cheney is a good man, and true, better than any of those attempting to demean him.
He must frustrate the Left, terribly.

The Picture of Cheney at the 2009 Inauguration looking upon Obama with Contempt always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
He knew, and now the Country knows too.
Well, some of the Country.

No disrespect to W but watching Cheney debate Lieberman back in 2000 I thought we’d been better off flipping the ticket order.
Still do

NYT once again writes with their head up their rear looking out from the small crack. Time has proven Cheney right and the left wrong. Powell chose the wrong path. THE FOREIGNER turned out to be the most POLARIZING and WORSE PRESIDENT ever elected.
