August 31, 2004 -- Secret Service agents last night hauled away a man who got too close to Vice President Dick Cheney in a VIP area at Madison Square Garden. Police sources said the 21-year-old man, who had a pass allowing him into the Garden, had either a knife or some kind of tool on him when he was nabbed as he tried to flee.

No, you usually don't stand up when it's you being applauded. It's sort of like you are applauding yourself.
Thanks for the ping. I haven't heard a peep of this on the news.
Remember awhile back when some of the more radical protest groups said they have plans to infiltrate the RNC by applying for some of the 900+ jobs? Makes me wonder if that happened. How did these guys get the passes?
That's ridiculous. That is like blaming every Southerner for John Wilkes Booth. Don't be a nut.
LOL or COL not sure which.
Moore's relative?
I believe Cheney did not stand when Rudy was talking about him, which i think was smart, as this convention is about W, not Cheney and Cheney does not want to appear as a "Svengali" behind W.
This man is ripe for another heart attack
He was up and down in his seat all last nightnot to mention this scare.
I give him credit for being there on the first night, though.
Yes I agree he was making a judgement call but I think he did get up and down a lot at certain good zings by Rudy
All these "peaceful" protestors! Burn a cop, beat one unconscious.. these are definately examples of why spanking and discipline is necessary as children. These people are needing some good punishment.
God was watching out for VP Cheney! :o)
"No voting for you Mr. Assassin.
That isn't what Jesse Jackson says."
You're right, Jesse Jackson says "Hymies live in New York City, I mean Hymietown"
Gee thanks! Excuse me while I wipe a mouthful of coffee spray from my computer screen. =)
Here, too!
Since the news item doesn't say, it's a sure bet he was. Gotta be Politically Correct, don-cha know. Of course if he was white the story would have led with "disgruntled ultra-right wing operative taken down by Secret Service."
Bump and support the SWIFT VETS...see the new ad here http://swift3.he.net/~swift3/medals.mov
I think that one stay-seated moment was just modesty on Cheney's part. Given what was being said, he'd have been hammy to take a bow.
LOVE the new ad....I think the emphasis shifting now to what happened when he got back from Vietnam is great.... Go Swiftboat Vets!!!!
Are there any updates on this story? Who is this lunatic?
I'm serious about his what are they going to do about Moore when the President speaks? I certainly hope the Secret Service takes him out and says point blank that he's a security risk!
I see him as such a lunatic that I would not put a John Wilkes Boothe scenario beyond this egotistical ____________! (fill in the blank)
