From “Fly Fishing With Darth Vader, Dick Cheney, 1941-2025”: “I was not a fan of Cheney’s at the time, I should add. I am nobody’s neocon, thought he was accumulating too much power for the executive branch, I detested the Iraq War, etc. My list was long. But spend eight hours on the water with a man, and you learn some things about him. And I learned that day that Cheney, whatever my objection to his policies, was a fine fisherman, a gentleman, a master smack-talker, and a guy who wasn’t bothered by what people think of him. Which would later serve him well when he stood up to the MAGA forces of philistinism, completely out-of-step with his party, when plenty of his contemporaries took a powder, and kept their mouths shut. These are the same forces that are trolling Liz, even after his death, proving yet again that even if you didn’t like Cheney back when he was in office, things can always get worse. Much worse.”
