You’re right, impeachment proceedings that don’t include Cheney would be pointless. I guess I think of it as one of those things that go without saying. “And your little dog, too,” whichever of them fits that bill. Cheney worries me with respect to the final days of the administration because with four heart attacks under his finely tailored jacket, I really don’t see him going quietly when his life’s work remains unfinished. But maybe he’ll be satisfied with the damage he’s already done.
