This might help a little to explain for you puzzled FReepers why so many women on FR feel about this man the way we do. Her perspective is a joke, but I do think that her explanation for the psychology of the sex appeal of "that big, white, balding guy wearing the spectacles" has some validity.
If some of you could send this to the OMGIIHIHOIIC ping list, I would be grateful. This should heat up the discussion!!
And my husband laughed at me when I told him Cheney was hot! I see I'm not alone. ;-)
I am proud to be the founder of the Cheney Chicks! I was absolutely correct about this guy! HA!
Take THAT Senator Leahy...lol
Go Cheney Go!
A lot of things come to mind when thinking of Cheney, but "pompous" and "know-it-all" aren't among them. "Manly" definitely is. Out of the presidential debates, the Cheney-Edwards debate was my favorite because of Cheney. What a MAN. Serene, sedate, wise, and strong. And sexy? Yeah, I can see that! What's really fascinating is that this liberal babe GOT IT! After the debate with Edwards, when Cheney so adroitly wiped and waxed the floor with him, I told my mom: "I love Dubya, but Cheney walks on water." This article confirms my observation!

"...A recent Newsweek poll indicates that the Kerry/Edwards ticket would beat Bush/Cheney by 51% to 45%, with a 4% margin or error. But the same poll shows that a Bush/Powell ticket would win over Kerry/Edwards by 53% to 44%, while a Bush/McCain ticket would win by 49% to 47%.
Gosh, choosing winning candidates with whom voters strongly identify would give Bush and the Republicans not just a win, but the significant moral boost the Republican party will need in upcoming political races, but that would mean “breaking up the team.”
More than a few Republicans would like to see Cheney go. Persistent issues of his precarious health aside, Cheney’s approval ratings have plummeted.
...these two things, American hearts and minds, and international good will, are inextricably intertwined. But getting both back means “breaking up the team.” ...
Dump Cheney? The only real question is, when? In time for the Republicans to win, and to save what the party stands for.

I love it.
This is a fabulous post!
Anyone have the LA ping list?
Excuse me. I must be in the wrong room. Go on about your, uh, business....
Interesting. Not one of those descriptions would have ever crossed my mind to describe him. VERY interesting that she was willing to describe the in-person event in the way she did.
Attention ping list: someone gets it (but says 'blech' too many times). Where are the pictures?
Hmmm, did anyone ever locate that "embarrassing" picture of Kerry that ran on some upper midwestern newspaper site for a bit before disappearing?

All the Pubbie women I know agree that Cheney is very hot. Who's your Daddy? LOL!
