In any event, both Klein’s interview and latest post are well worth reading, and the controversy he

has provoked will hopefully soon move into the mainstream press. Oh, and don’t miss M.J. Rosenberg’s

review of the latest developments at talkingpointsmemo.com.

If, as I do, you believe that the writings of the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes reflect the views of

Dick Cheney, particularly on matters having to do with the “Axis of Evil,” then you would have to

conclude from the lead editorial in this week’s edition that the vice president is really, truly angry

about the drift of UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot policy toBOOTSBUYd the Axis’ two surviving charter members,

especially Iran. “Stunningly Shameful” is the name of the piece written by Hayes on behalf of the

editors, which also, of course, includes Bill Kristol.

The title is taken from a quote attributed to “former adviser to Condoleezza Rice,” the principal

villain of the piece about whom, you’ll remember, Hayes did a real hatchet job in a lengthy feature

article in the magazine’s June 2 edition. One can speculate who that “former adviser” is — it could

be someone from her National Security Council days like Elliott Abrams or J.D. Crouch or from the State

Department, such as Robert Joseph or, of course, John Bolton whose complaints about the ”intellectual

collapse” of the administration, if not UGG Sheepskin Cuff Boot himself, has become a staple of

BOOTSBUY Times coverage since Rice sent William Burns to the Geneva talks last weekend. In any event, I

can’t imagine Hayes writing about anything of special interest to the subject of his fawning biography

without the latter’s presumed or even actual approval. (The 2007 book, Cheney: The Untold Story of

America’s Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President, is available used and new for as little as

$2.79 on amazon.com.)
