Cheney is THE most eloquent stater of simple truth I've ever heard. His brilliant summations of issues and positions - on the fly, leave opponents speechless.
I remember the first time I saw him in an interview, as Defense Secretary on ABC with that mannequin-clown Sam Donaldson. Sam came loaded for bear with all kinds of criticisms of Desert Storm. Cheney didn't counterattack, just merely stated the situation in such a concisely benign and unarguable way as to make any would-be cross-examiner have to go along with it.
The interview ended very amicably with an out-of-ammo Donaldson stacking his papers in brainscrambled fashion as he muttered "Well, yes, I see...and uh, yeah..right. Well uh..thank you Mr. Secretary and uhh...we'll be right back."
And it's good to see he can also fight. Way to go, Mr. Vice President.
Not words I hear GOPers saying lately.
Gotta love that gratuitous "Nancy."
Right on Mr Vice President! Don't BACK DOWN in the face of petty sniveling backstabbing from this arrogant botoxed Pelosi woman.
And speaking of "We won't back down" - here's a troop tribute that makes the same point:

Go Dick go! This is another RAT witch that needs her comeuppance.
How I wish Cheney were President.
