No More Mister Nice Blog — THE SPEECH THAT WASN'T PART OF YESTERDAY'S DUEL While Dick Cheney, a man who never had (and never will have) Barack Obama's job (and who doesn't have any job at all anymore) has been elevated to the status of Obama's rival, the man who did have Obama's job, and who was (ostensibly) Obama's new rival's boss, also gave a speech yesterday -- and the speech did not get front-page headlines. For obvious reasons: ARTESIA, N.M. -- It was a humbling moment for the former commander in chief: President George W. Bush was walking former first dog ...
