RE: Cheney to Speak at GOP Convention

I know this is not what at least some of John McCain's advisers wanted. Their preference was for Cheney to be at some undisclosed location, far away from St. Paul, and from McCain. Given the bi-polar composition of McCain's foreign policy team (a combustible combo of old-school realists and macho neo-cons), I suppose it's not that surprising. I personally look forward to the flashback section of the Vice President's speech -- in which he suggests Mohamed Atta met with an Iraqi official in Prague and calls energy conservation a "personal virtue."
