#2 And so young for a Dem politician. He must have gotten a very bad report on his last trip to Walter Reed.

#3 He's worried about supply chain disruption and his massive prescriptions of anti-senility drugs.

#5 I truly enjoyed that "dispute" and, No, it wasn't over the 'Iraq War".

For over a week Pat "Lying Lips" Leahy had been bloviating in the Senate (safely shielded against libel laws by Federal Law) about all of the "obviously sinister, Sinister I say!" things that Cheney was doing in a high-level consultation with the Oil Industry about 'Improving America's Energy Economy'. "They must reveal ALL their secret dealings to the Public unless they are guilty of vile, evil deeds!!!!" And so on and so forth for hours on C-SPAN.

Then it sure looked like Leahy approached Cheney with all "fake fellow Senator camaraderie" where Cheney was ignoring him and Cheney snapped. In an earlier Senate I feel that the two would have had a meeting at dawn with pistols over some of the things Leahy 'implied' about Cheney. That was is my impression of the event and, of course, YMMV.
