MSNBC’s Alex Wagner and Panel: Bush Needed Cheney To Be His ‘Puppet Master’

MSNBC’s Alex Wagner: Bush Chose Cheney Because He Needed a ‘Puppet Master’ (Mediaite)

MSNBC host Alex Wagner discussed with her panel guests on Monday the revelations in former Vice President Dick Cheney’s new book, Heart. She and her panel guests examined the psychology of both former President George W. Bush and Cheney and their complicated relationship. Wagner asserted that Bush chose Cheney for his vice president because he “was acknowledged to need a puppet master.”

Wagner said that Cheney’s book’s release was poorly timed because it comes at a time when another book alleges that Cheney sought the invasion of Iraq for frivolous and personal reasons.
