"As Hamilton said of Burr, 'He is sanguine enough to hope every thing--daring enough to attempt every thing.' Andrew Jackson said, 'Burr is as far from a fool as I ever saw, and yet he is as easily fooled as any man I ever knew.'"
In The New Republic, Eric Rauchway compares Dick Cheney to Aaron Burr.
"In the end, President Bush regularly is unable to explain or defend the policies of his own administration, and that is because the heavy intellectual labor has been performed in the office of the vice president. Cheney is impeachable for his overweening power and his sneering contempt of the Constitution and the rule of law."
And Bruce Fein in Slate brings charges against Cheney. (Via Ghost in the Machine.)
