Only Larry
King...
I've said
this before and it truly deserves to be repeated in the same
context of amazement and respect.
As a
young, moderate republican I have not been a big fan of Dick
Cheney and have blamed him and Rummy for many mistakes and
unpopular numbers. And, well, they have had a past track
record of arrogance, no accountability and mud-slinging w/
catapults.
After all,
I liked Bill Clinton and still do. I mean, I am a big enough
person to give credit where credit is due and Bill Clinton
deserves it. Therefore, Dick Cheney was more like a dinosaur
figure in the current American landscape rather than a
leader, no less a VP.
Hitherto,
I could care less about him. However, last night on Larry
King, I found myself listening, having hope for and even
liking Dick Cheney. I couldn’t believe it. He almost
appeared to be a new man = a new, more dynamic, resourceful,
thoughtful, well rounded, accountable, humble, modest, and
powerful man (as all those things translate into a real
power for me and not the kind of power one oft uses to
achieve means to ends).
Of course,
I am sure there was intent behind this Larry King interview
- nevertheless; VP Cheney seemed to be sincere. And, only
Larry King could provide such a platform.
Again,
this was a wise decision of VP Cheney's part as Larry King
is a masterful interviewer. And knowing this, also gave the
program and the interview and VP Cheney's words credibility
for me. For VP Cheney seemed to possess a genuine respect
for Larry King and the process as in which he should.
