CHENEY SPEAKS – AT 9:24 A.M. ET:  No man has been more smeared by the McCarthyite left than Dick Cheney.  In my view, Cheney is an ideal public servant who has served this country well, with honor and integrity.  His comments about Hillary Clinton are choice, are true, and reflect Cheney's common sense.  From the Washington Times: 

Former Vice President Dick Cheney described former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s handling of her private email through a private server as “sloppy and unprofessional.”

“Maybe she was ignorant, but I find that hard to believe. She’s an intelligent woman. She spent a lot of time in the White House,” Mr. Cheney told CNN. “I think she should have known better.”

Asked if he thinks the Russians and Chinese could have copies of the emails of Mrs. Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential front-runner, Mr. Cheney said: “They’ve gotten my personnel records. How can they not have her emails?”

Mr. Cheney and his daughter, Liz Cheney, are out this week with a new book called “Exceptional: Why the World Needs a Powerful America.”

Mr. Cheney also said he’d “love” to see Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. jump into the 2016 Democratic presidential nominating contest.

“He’s tried twice before. He obviously is interested. I think there’s a lot of support for him in the Democratic Party. I think it would stir things up. They’re short of candidates on their side. So I would urge Joe to have a shot at it,” Mr. Cheney said.

COMMENT:  Cheney will continue to be ridiculed by the left, blamed for the Iraq War, even though it was Obama who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in Iraq.  But in the fullness of time, it will be the wisdom of Dick Cheney that will be proved correct, even though that may never be taught in our universities.
