Paul Begala on how Dick Cheney's unpopularity helps the Democrats.
I think Cheney has achieved something truly amazing in politics. He's even lost the support of people who agree with him. There are a lot of them out there…folks who like torture, like shifting the tax burden from the rich to the poor, like his notions of a strong America and so on. They probably like everything Cheney stands for except his tolerance of gay rights, which goes largely unmentioned, but they don't like Cheney. He's just done too much damage to their cause. I feel the same way about a lot of folks who more or less support what I support but do it in a clumsy, offensive manner. Maybe it comes with being vice-president because Joe Biden is drifting in that direction for me.
