When we look at Richard
- He went to Yale, and flunked out by reason of alcohol
- Got busted twice for DWI
- Convinced Gerald Ford to drop Nelson Rockefeller as VP and replace him with Bob Dole in 1976
- Ran Ford's losing campaign to Jimmy Carter,
- Spent 10 years in the Congress, some of it as House whip, and only sponsored a handful of bills (IIRC, about 2).
- As Secretary of Defense, he instituted the massive expansion of private contractors doing jobs that had previously been done by the DoD.
- As head of Halliburton, bought Dresser Industries, and the billions of dollars in asbestos liabilities that came with that.
- Picked himself as Vice President.
- And then there is his time as Vice President.
He is a sad pathetic old man, and he needs to be treated as such.
