Josh Marshall is on a roll. It is hard to believe that he is getting any work done on his dissertation, with such a prodigious output of good political writing. His latest is a piece in the Washington Monthly, the Vise Grip, on Cheney's political ineptitude, and why it hasn't effected his reputation. Sample:
Not since the Whiz Kids of the Kennedy-Johnson years has Washington been led by men of such insular self-assurance.
What Marshall doesn't mention is that even though Time magazine and people inside the Beltway love (or fear) Cheney, most Americans don't trust him. See Time magazine loves Dick Cheney. Americans aren't so sure.
