[QUOTE=Apos] I’m finding the obsession with Cheney a little silly. He’s Vice-President. His main job is just not to die. Granted, in keeping with the theme of incompetence, Cheney is not particularly well qualified for that job, but there really isn’t any necessary reason the Vice President HAS to be trotted out to defend or talk about anything. It’s not like the nation was screaming out for more Al Gore during Clinton’s Presidency either. [/QUOTE] Gore also wasn’t trotted out every time Clinton made a policy announcement, either. ---

He was on Chris Wallace’s show on FoxNews today. If he thought he was going to get a sympathetic interview he was mistaken. Wallace was none too kind to him, pretty much asking him the same questions that Tim Russert asked Hadley on MtP this AM. Plus adding a few jabs about Libby. ---

Putting all this in perspective – it’s been revealed that Cheney’s nickname at the CIA is [“Bergen.”](http://www.theittlist.com/site/ittlist/ind/2777/) You know, as in “Edgar.” ---

I took the liberty of examining this vice president and I discovered that the only reason he was staying at an undisclosed location was because he was nailed there. ---
