He slithered his way into being Bush's VP, then controlled shit behind the scenes. GWB has commented something along the lines of Cheney ruined his legacy. Cheney was connected in DC and lots of people in Bush admin we're actually Cheney associates. Cheney was also connected to GHWB, which means he's a friend of the CIA.

Cheney publicly defended torturing prisoners in Gitmo and Abu Graibh
Cheney assumed control of the US government from a bunker on 9/11 (IIRC?)
