Forget Bush! Where the hell is Dick Cheney?!!??!!??!!?

How many times have u heard dick cheney's name in the news since bush was president? not a lot, right?
wtf is he doing anyway?

Well, for a while after 9/11, they didn't want him and the President in the same place. So Cheney was probably shipped off to a safehouse somewhere.

Now, we hear about him every now and then. Think, how often did you hear about Al Gore during Clinton's presidency?

cheney is probably chillin in some norad bunker counting the massive profits he has reaped from his Haliburton Iraq exploits.

He visited Japan and South Korea a couple of weeks back.

A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman recently said Dick Cheney is a "mentally deranged person".

"Under every stone lurks a politician."
Aristophanes (450 BC - 388 BC), Thesmophoriazusae, 410 B.C.

I was amused by that. Look under the stone, you'll find Cheney!

Seriously, though, the vice presidency is seen as the most worthless position in all of Washington, because for 4 to 8 years, your opinion disappears and becomes the president's. The Veep doesn't do anything but meet with people, go places the President doesn't have time to go to, and, in private debate with the president on issues they disagree on.

And to close,

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."

Teddy Roosevelt. Speech before the Hamilton Club, Chicago, April 10, 1899
