This is one of the most touching tributes I have ever heard. It was Cheney at his most eloquent.

But then, Cheney's task was easy. After all, look who he was eulogizing!

Cheney reminds me a little of Reagan in that he has some of that quiet dignity Reagan had.

Danged blurry monitor. This is the first tribute I've seen that did that to me.

Cheney's remarks were perfect for the occasion. Simple, yet moving and powerful words. Getting misty-eyed reading them now.

Liberals are not capable of properly eulogizing a person. If you take out the criticism, cynicism and hate, combined with the fact a liberal is not capable of creative thoughts and all you would have left is; "You know.."

This was marvelous. I haven't had a chance to watch the tape yet, but I caught it on radio. He did a beautiful job.

Thank you!

I thought Stevens speech was too pedestrian and partisan, Hasterts speech was good, but Cheney's was great. Bush should use Cheney's speech writers( although I suspect Cheney himself or his wife may have penned it). In particulat this phrase stuck in my mind:

"He was a providential man, who came along just when our nation and the world most needed him".

I have never seen Cheney do anything except a superb job. His performance in the debates, his speeches, his q&a with reporters have always been exceptional. Such a quiet, dignified, competent man. The gallant, respectful way he escorted Mrs. Reagan to the coffin yesterday...What a class act he is!
