Let revisionism run wild!

I see no reason not to let the odd idea that Dick Cheney is some sort of highly charismatic lunatic take hold, even if it is wildly off base. Matt, on the other hand...

I've gotta stop Jason Zengerle and Ross Douthat from propagating some kind of revisionist notion whereby Dick Cheney (in Zengerle's words) "could well benefit from a round of media appearances - because, while his views may be crazy and alarmist, his public presentation of them isn't."

I realize that I'm some sort of journalist, and am supposed to call things as I see them. And, of course, as I see it Zengerle and Douthat are very obviously wrong about this. But as a freedom loving American, I can think of almost nothing that would more quickly steer the country back on course than to convince the powers that be--through some devious manipulation--that Dick Cheney should be the policy spokesman for this administration.

Hey, Bush could replace the 'can't afford the job' Tony Snow with Cheney, and peace an enlightment would decend on the White House's twice-daily pressers.
