Behind a small desk sits the chair Cheney occupied for eight years as vice president in the White House, and above the white-trimmed fireplace hang three framed swords. One was a gift from the cadets at West Point when Cheney was secretary of defense; the second came from the U.S. Marine Corps commandant when Cheney was guest of honor at the Marine Corps ball two months after 9/11; the third belonged to Samuel Fletcher Cheney, the vice president’s great-grandfather, who fought for the Union in the Civil War—enduring 34 battles, some of the conflict’s bloodiest fighting—only to lose part of his left hand in a sawmill accident after the war’s end.

I remember when my (older) brother in law returned from Vietnam. He and my sister were so much more mature and “sophisticated” and read Playboy “for the interviews and articles”.

Then when the models started to show pubic hair, my sister was incensed and they canceled their subscription.

Now Dick Cheney is interviewed by the mag?? How times have changed.

William F. Buckley, Jr., once did an interview with Playboy magazine. Buckley’s son had an illegitimate child. Cause and effect?

In a lot of respects I miss the 70s and 80s

The Music. ;-)

I miss actual film photography what little I got to do before digital took over.

Agree on a lot of the music and TV too.

Cheney and a lot of these people are idiots. They ALWAYS chose to criticize Obama on personality, and let him off the hook on policy. Doesn't he realize it's not working? Cheney is like a dividend for Obama.

Besides, maybe Cheney should figure out why he was part of an administration that put President Obama in power.

It tells you all you need to know about Cheney that he does an interview for Playboy. He is not a conservative in any way.
