SuperCheney

Back from my hiatus, I am a little surprised that not-more attention is being paid to Sarah Palin's claim in the debates that Dick Cheney doesn't have enough power. Apparently it was not a slip; she repeated it on Saturday.

I think it might be fun to ask McCain for his views on the matter (or whether, indeed, he has even heard of her power-grab; he seems remarkably disconnected).

I'm inclined to take it as one more index that she doesn't much care what he thinks; that she has pretty much written him off and focusing on 2012.

Which is ironic, in its way. Because if she does run for President in 2012, the idea that the Vice-president needs more power is one claim you're likely never to hear again.
