Cheney on Bush

New York Daily News: Reports that former VP Cheney is not happy with his former boss, President George W. Bush, the reason being that Bush didn't grant a Pardon to Mr Libby, the former Aide to the Vice President. It can be assumed that Bush 43 recalled the the row caused by the pardons of his father, Bush 41 and the late pardon by Bill Clinton. President Reagan didn't have to worry about pardons, his VP, George H.W. Bush was his successor, thus he could leave it to Bush 41 to clear up the mess of Iran - Contra. At the end of the day, Reagan understood that he need his successor to be a Republican and VP. Thus we are still talking about the Reagan Revolution years later, that what makes the Gipper a great politician and statesman.
