Cheney Intervenes in Kentucky Senate Race

Aaron Blake has the news — shortly after Dick Cheney’s former aides began drumming up opposition to Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul, Cheney has now endorsed Paul’s opponent, Trey Grayson. Cheney:

I’m a lifelong conservative, and I can tell the real thing when I see it. I have looked at the records of both candidates in the race, and it is clear to me that Trey Grayson is right on the issues that matter – both on fiscal responsibility and on national security.

Worth remembering: in the Texas gubernatorial primary, Cheney endorsed Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) while Sarah Palin endorsed the winner, Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas). Palin, famously, has endorsed Rand Paul.

Cheney: “I'm a lifelong chickenhawk, and I can tell the real thing when I see it.”

If Cheney doesn't like him that's got to be good.

You'd think that Grayson would have pulled a, “thanks, but I don't need an endorsement from a war criminal, no thanks,” on that one…

Since when did Dick Cheney have any credibility left?

At least his pal George W. has the brains to keep his mouth shut now.

Quote: “Palin, famously, has endorsed Rand Paul.”

Really?

You and I have different definitions of “famously”
