Participants said Bush, not Cheney, did most of the talking in response to questions, upsetting the myth that Bush needed Cheney as a crutch to get through the interview.

But they never seem to learn that the President does think on his own..... They would have you believe that he can't tie his shoes without someone else such as Rove, Cheney, etc.

[Verginius Rufus]

Yes, we heard after the meeting that most of the questions were for the President, and he answered them all himself, with no assistance from Cheney. That didn't stop the obsessively anti-Bush cartoonist David Horsey from drawing a cartoon (see the seattlepi.com website, David Horsey cartoon dated April 30) which shows Cheney as a ventriloquist holding a puppet which is meant to represent Bush.

Horsey has Cheney saying, "Whatever happened, it was Clinton's fault!" and having the puppet say, "...or Kerry's!"

Of course the first part of that is largely true, even if the Bush Administration has gone out of its way to avoid trying to blame its predecessor.

Liberals think that every mornng Bush asks Cheney..."Do my shoes fit"??? What idiots....Bush has run RINGS around them!!

If you play poker with Bush you will lose your money.
