Watch: What The Dick Cheney/Rand Paul Feud Tells Us About the GOP

Mother Jones Washington bureau chief David Corn dropped by MSNBC’s Hardball to talk with Chris Matthews and the Huffington Post‘s Howard Fineman. The topic: the ongoing civil war within the GOP—and between Rand Paul and Dick Cheney—over the crisis in Iraq. It’s hardly the first time the two have been at odds: Paul accused Cheney of exploiting Iraq for Halliburton’s gain, and called him out on torture; Cheney fired back, saying Paul was “not familiar” with the facts.
