Cheney appears to have lost the support of Rush Limbaugh:

It’s worth noting that Cheney was on for 13 minutes — and there wasn’t a single softball question during the entire interview. Consider some of Limbaugh’s queries:

* Is the President — are you and the President, the administration aware of the dissatisfaction on the whole issue of illegal immigration that exists not just within the Republican base, but within the country at large?

* Why is it that so many people don’t think that the steps the President is outlining and has outlined over the years will address the seriousness of the problem?

* Let me ask you this on behalf of my audience, simply because of the number of emails. People don’t think that this number of 6,000 [National Guard troops] — which probably will add up to 2,000 or 3,000 on duty at any given time — is actually going to make much of an impact.

* The Dubai Ports deal, American people spoke out loudly against it, "we don’t want any part of it," it got killed. The illegal immigration deal is generating just as much negative response, but the American people are not getting the reaction — the same reaction from government to that, that they got on the Dubai Ports deal — a little confused, asking questions, "what’s different here, we’re still talking security."
