The NY Sun editorialist COMPLETELY misunderstood Ross Douthat’s column. Douthat is saying that it would have been a good thing for the GOP to have run arch-conservative Cheney for President, because he would have been TROUNCED by Obama and therefore the lunatic ultra-right-wing of the GOP would have been consigned to oblivion.

If the NY Sun thinks that Cheney could have beaten Obama, it’s no wonder that the newspaper folded. They are completely divorced from reality.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty significant that the Sun has just up and started posting to its website again.

Douthat’s commentary is insightful, where the Sun’s prescience is insane for the same reason: you can’t look at this guy without everything he comes with. Cheney was reviled, his poll numbers were atrocious, he was the Mr. Potter of the Bush administration, his health was constantly in question and he wasn’t selected by the GOP because he never, ever would have won.

In the real world, you can’t “imagine” away the factors that made him inviable — something the Sun’s editors seem to forget.

Not only am I amazed that The Sun appears to be publishing again, but I’m amazed they stopped last year. I thought that happened a bazillion years ago…news is slow to reach Fly Over Country.

And a Cheney Presidential Bid would have been scary, scary, scary. Just think of the hunting invitations to the Cabinet members! How do you say no, but realize you could get shot?

Some conservatives want Cheney just as some people favor boxers vs. briefs. Personally, anybody who favors Cheney for Pres isn’t an active, engaged citizen. For that matter, the choices we’ve been given by the Uber-elite are just retreaded puppet-heads for their agenda. Things really haven’t changed all that much operationally from one administration to another. They jigger with taxes a bit and parade around in their own style, but mostly everything is the same. Most people are slumbering while awake, unaware of the charade being played on them. Our current slate of politicos are all the same. The coatings be they Dem or GOP, black, white, male or female all have the same gooey filling that bears a strong resemblance to excrement. And who doesn’t agree that most of these prigs aren’t full of s#it?
