The cover story in the current Time magazine is worth reading. As we've read, (Vice) President The Dick tried over and over again to cajole his junior partner, Preznit Dumbya, into giving The Dick's loyal gopher, Irving "Scooter" Libby, a full pardon for his felonies. Dumbya said no, and The Dick remains extremely unhappy with Dumbya for not following his orders this time. The relationship between the two apparently soured over the second term, as The Dick's judgment in national security and foreign affairs turned out to be that of an angry 8 year-old and his dabbling in unconstitutional domestic projects started to bite Dumbya.
The article is based on unnamed sources close to Dumbya, so it's clear that he wants to start shifting the blame for his failed presidency off on The Dick's bad behavior, and to rescue whatever "legacy" he thinks he has. Good luck with that. The two worked as a team for most of the past eight years, one ying to the other's yang. Dumbya awoke too late to notice that his presidency was burning, and The Dick was holding the matches.
