Cheney Lap Dog to Pen Official Bio

Posted on Aug 28, 2006

The vice president has reportedly tapped Weekly Standard reporter Stephen Hayes to write Cheney’s official biography. Hayes is the guy who Cheney used to peddle his myths about the connection between Iraq and 9/11. (h/t: HuffPo)

Surprise, surprise.

Think Progress:

Vice President Cheney the man running the country is now working on an official biography.

But dont hold out any hope that the biography will offer any revealing insight into Dick Cheneys dark, secretive mind-set. The author of the book, according to U.S. News, will be Weekly Standards Stephen Hayes:

We hear that the Weekly Standards Stephen Hayes is hot on the case and plans to publish a bio titled, naturally enough, Cheney as early as next spring. Im not a historian, Hayes fesses up.
No, Hayes is not a historian. What are his qualifications? Hes a journalist who has cultivated close ties within the White House and has become the go-to source for insiders seeking to peddle false claims on Iraq. Here are some highlights of Hayes record:

I’d rather have root canals done on all my teeth without freezing than read anything about Cheney’s past, present or hopefully irrelevant future.

I don’t know him but I’m almost certain that “to know him” would NOT be “to love him.” He virtually oozes “smarm” with every smirk. He gives me the creeps just looking at his picture.

BTW, to save me having to write again, should anything of this sort come up re Rumsfeld, just substitute his name in the above paragraphs and consider it my submission.
