It seems like an odd partnership at first glance, but NBC<\/strong> and Dick Cheney<\/strong> are teaming up for tons of programming in the next couple of days.<\/p>\n

The former vice president’s NBC onslaught started Thursday with a snippet of an interview he did with reporter Jamie Gangel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Cheney was never one to back down as perhaps the most powerful VP in U.S. history and he certainly won’t in interviews, either.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GyHCXpabLvc<\/a>\n

Cheney is a man of few words but no regrets about how he served the country under President George W. Bush<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But while W has remained silent after his presidency, Dick Cheney has decided to open up.<\/p>\n

“Heads are going to explode,” Cheney said of the book, In My Time<\/em>, in which he reportedly reveals policy differences with other top White House officials.<\/p>\n

NBC will air a Dateline<\/em> segment on Cheney Monday night and will have him on the Today<\/em> show Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Those who respect and appreciate the former VP will enjoy are rare glimpse into one of the most powerful figures in our history.<\/p>\n

Those who think they hate the man should watch a straight shooter, no pun intended, in action.<\/p>\n
