"Some people have suggested that Cheney engineered his own selection. This is far-fetched. I saw the man squirm as Bush pressed him to accept."

What took Karl Rove so long to publish this fan fiction? After Scott McClellan had the temerity to tell all, you knew Karl Rove would fight back. I'm guessing his lawyer dictated the timeline. Wait out the clock on prosecution over lying about Valerie Plame; divorce beard. Now he's a free man and ready to sell more books than Scotty and Sarah.

The irony is that is was Scooter Libby, Cheney's chief hatchet, who complained that he'd been shanked by Team Bush in order to save Rove from prosecution. What's with the posthumous team building?

How does Rove expect to refute the Pulitzer-winning work of Bart Gellman and Jo Becker, who documented Bush and Cheney's agreement? Cheney was already on the ticket when he played charades with the vice presidential selection process. After making GOP hopefuls submit to background checks, he never returned their calls.

The power differential between Cheney and Junior remains a subject of ongoing debate. Either Junior was played or he knew what he was getting, but during their administration, Cheney never squirmed.

Not that Dick or Karl care, but Meghan McCain called it last year: "They had their eight years. Now go away."
