the former Bush Veep can't help himself and won't ever stop reopening the wounds.

"Reopening wounds" like, you know, pointing out that the president is weakening the country he swore an oath to protect.

Well if the Tricky Dick comparison applies, then Cheney will make a comeback in 2012 and liberate this nation.

Mr Cheney, your country is calling you. Please throw your hat in the ring for 2012.

Mr. Cheney is now replacing Richard Nixon in the national political and cultural consciousness as the Gorgeous George of our era, the guy whose very existence makes some people furious and who brings to the surface all those intense and complex emotions about power and the people who wield it.

At least in the minds of the people who buy ink by the barrelfull.

And to the degree that its true outside the news rooms, its a tribute to the effectiveness of the propagandist's art. This piece is a propagandist's tribute to himself.

If would be poetic justice if the next terrorist attack is on SF. Not hoping, just saying. What color is the sky in their world?

What's wrong with hoping?

How is it that anytime Jimmy Carter lobbed ad hominum attacks at Bush, he was labeled an "elder statesman"? But, when Cheney does, he gets a Nixon tag?

Cheney will continue to be the meanest, dumbest guy in the room for the MSM. That is until we get it again. Then, he'll be some kind of all-omniscient seer.

Rush and Cheney are public enemy #1 because they are exposing everything that this President is about. The sheeple can find out these things because they are too ignorant to recognize them.

I hope Cheney continues to talk. He is one of the only voices of reason on our side.

If Cheney gets that bionic heart thing working, there isn’t anyone better qualified to be president. There isn’t anyone I can think of currently on the scene who would be a better war-time president for certain.

It seems Mr. Bronstein avoided debating the merits of Mr. Cheney’s assertion that our nation is less safe under Obama.

reopening the wounds

Translation: reminding the left when they were wrong, dead wrong.

Long before Watergate or Vietnam, the left hated and despised Richard Nixon. Why? He defeated a five term Democrat to win his first office. He defeated one of their darlings, Helen Douglas, to win his Senate seat. Then, as a young congressman he exposed Alger Hiss and proved Whittaker Chambers right. They never forgave him. They thought they had got him in a scandal, but the Checkers speech drove a spike into that.

So, "reopening wounds" in the context of Nixon means reminding the left that they were wrong about the communist threat, wrong about Soviet espionage in America, wrong about Hiss, wrong about everything. And they can't stand it.

I read some of the comments appended to this article — it sure is clear there are a lot of hate filled Communists out there. And they are Communists, they may think they are “progressives” but they passed that exit on the interstate in a flash. Useful idiots, that´s all.

Maybe private citizen Dick Cheney should invite Phil Bronstein on one of his weekend hunting trips. Target practice is always welcome.

“What color is the sky in their world?”

Pink, of course, with a really delightful mauve sun.

Phil Bronstein (born 1951) was the executive vice president and editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.

He was married to actress Sharon Stone from February 1998 until January 2004

In June 2001, he was seriously injured by a Komodo dragon. He entered its enclosure at the Los Angeles Zoo after being invited in by the dragon's keeper. Bronstein was bitten on his bare foot, as the keeper had told him to take off his white shoes, which could have potentially excited the dragon
