Displeased with the former vice-president's recent media appearances, Republican lawmakers say he's hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself after back-to-back electoral drubbings.
The veep, who showed a penchant for secrecy during eight years in the White House,has popped up in media interviews to defend the Bush-Cheney record while suggesting that the country is not as safe under President Obama.
This is smoke and mirrors. There's no way the modern Republican Party can survive without Big Dick Cheney. A chickenhawk with 5 deferments from combat is the pure epitome of what is the GOP. He lurches around the country drooling about small government, fiscal conservatism and how great war without end is and then slithers back into his hole much like bin Laden. There isn't a single Republican who watched his interview that didn't pop serious wood and heed his every word.
