    >>In an interview Sunday on CNN's "State of the Nation," Cheney said he disagrees with former Bush administration speechwriter David Frum's assessment that Limbaugh is "kryptonite" because he drives voters away from the GOP.

    "Rush is a good friend. I love him. I think he does great work and has for years," Cheney said. "I think Rush is a good man and serves a very important purpose."<<

    And what, exactly, is that purpose?

    Do you know this from other sources? The story quoted here does not say that Frum wrote that phrase, only that he was associated with the "axis of evil" Bush, meaning Junior.

    The Wikipedia article discusses it. I can't vouch for the accuracy of the rest of the article, but I had remembered David Frum on Bill Maher several years ago claiming credit for the phrase.

    That's where I learned the origins of Dick Cheney...

    Of course, they've also got Obama covered as well...
