The Cheney Vice Presidency

The Washington Post has provided a fascinating inside look at how Dick Cheney operates in the White House. Last year the authors of the series on Cheney, titled "Angler," won Pulitzer Prizes. Now one of those authors wrote a bigger book on Cheney and his work in the White House. The Washington Post ran two excerpts from that book, and it is absolutely compelling reading.
Here's the WaPo site for the entire series, which links to all six articles.
Sunday's article (09-14-08).
Monday's article (09-15).

Here's a link to purchasing the book, Angler.

The portrait of Cheney that the WaPo offers is not exactly favorable to the Veep.

Here's a book offering a much more sympathetic biography of Cheney, by Weekly Standard contributor Stephen Hayes.

Here's a much more negative look at the Bush/Cheney White House by another Pulitzer Prize winning journalist.
