Jamie Gangel on Dick Cheney’s Death: He Will Be Remembered as the ‘Most Powerful VP in History’

EXCERPT:

GANGEL: “So there's no question, as you said, he will be remembered as, if not the most powerful vice president in history, one of the most. He changed it from what had long been a ceremonial role to -- he really was a partner to George W. Bush. Bush would tell you that while people said that Dick Cheney was the puppet master, that he was not, that Bush was the decider, he was the adviser, but he was a very powerful and experienced adviser, which is one of the reasons Bush picked him.”
