On This Day In 2000, George W. Bush Decided Dick Cheney Would Make A Good VP

On this day in 2000, Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush announced former Wyoming congressman and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney would be his running mate. Bush announced Cheney as the vice presidential candidate during a rally in Austin, Texas.

"Early this morning, I called and asked him to join me in renewing America's purpose together," Bush said. "So I'm proud to announce that Dick Cheney, a man of great integrity, sound judgment and experience, is my choice to be the next vice president of the United States."

The draft avoider picked up the draft dodger as a running mate.....nothing like a couple of chicken hawks to run a war....big plan to invade, no plan to occupy, no plan to reform, get a bunch of people killed and make a few bucks.
