Lawrence Wilkerson, top aide and later chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, explaining how Vice President Dick Cheney cleverly manipulated and exploited the giant vacuum that was the Bush persona to his own personal ends.
It almost gives you a grudging respect for the sneering, apoplectic VP. Almost.
