| GREAT Bitch-Slap of Gorebot |

| Interesting editorial on why Bush is keeping Cheney on the ticket. Real reason for posting: Her (inadvertent?) bitch-slap of Al Bore (see last line). Severely EFL. *snip* Former congressman Vin Weber sheepishly allows that, when he was elected to the House in 1980, one of his first acts was to vote against Cheney for a GOP leadership post — because the proud Reaganite thought his Wyoming colleague was the moderate in the race. He later appreciated that Cheney was "in every respect one of the most principled conservatives in Congress." Weber points out that Cheney's vast previous experience on Capitol Hill, in the White House, and at the Pentagon explains why President Bush has avoided the pitfalls that have tripped up others who also made a virtue of being from "outside the Beltway." He's convinced that if a Democratic president enjoyed such an "ideal partnership" with his vice president, liberal historians would be celebrating a "historic advance in American governance that has finally made the vice presidency a serious institution rather than a holding tank in case of a catastrophe." Dick Cheney meets with heads of state while they are still breathing. [emphasis added] *snip* As Glenn says, Ouch! |

| #2 It takes someone with a high degree of self-confidence to assemble a team of Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld and Rice. There is not a Sandy Berger to be found on Team W. |

| #1 "I think he is cute as a button," VP Cheney of John Edwards. Too many Johns, so little time. |
