Vice presidents, once upon a time, had little to do beyond waiting for something to happen to the boss. Other than attending foreign funerals and occasionally casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, they rarely got into the game.

All that changed in 2000, when Dick Cheney went looking for George W. Bush's running mate and found that the perfect candidate was (drum roll) Dick Cheney. He resigned from Texas-based Halliburton and rediscovered his Wyoming roots. From that election on, Cheney devoted himself to the task of making the executive branch answerable to no one.

............

A solid reason exists for Cheney's miserably low public approval ratings: His insistence on secrecy creates the impression he has things to hide. The vice president gets to pick most of his battles, and for the past six years they often have been about keeping information from the public.

The executive order Cheney refused to follow, by itself, is a fairly small matter that speaks more to arrogance than any potential security breach. But his laughable excuse struck a nerve with the public. Here is a man who believes he is so untouchable, he doesn't even have to answer to the president.

Dick thinks we don't know Dick but we know Dick.

Most of the comments are great but this one stands out!

" Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Someone used "Dick Cheney", "respect", and "facts straight" in the same sentence. For that you get a door prize: on all expense paid trip to Prague where you will meet with Mohammed Atta, the Iraqi secret service, and some guy aptly code-named "Curveball", where you will spend a fabulous week forging documents implicating Iraq in trying to buy uranium from Niger. Next you are off to beautiful downtown Baghdad, where you will be greeted as a liberator. Unless you have "other priorities", as "fourth branch" did during the Vietnam War, in which case you will be shot in the face. "


I wonder if flounder is a DUer?

What a great comment!

:rofl:

has hours of security video from Gitmo that he can watch when he unwinds after a day fu*kin up the world! ....that and a few handfuls of military grade "go/no-go" pills! ..."cleans out the pipes"...heh...heh...:wtf: :nuke:

to know and love, and what kind of shit stain on this country are you to have Darth Cheney as your favorite son? Gaze at your navel while you contemplate that one, oh "mighty" Wyoming.

Has its own Democratic Governor Dave Freudenthal now.

Hope he's good for them.

But, yeah, the dick cheney hasn't changed..only in that he's gotten more rotten with age.

A little slow on the uptake, but it must be obvious by now.

Seems to me Deadeye Dick abandoned Wyoming as soon as he discovered he had a 'residence' in Texas.

That sucks............:rofl:
