Whoa! Cheney looks damn good in that hat!

To quote the billboards, ‘Miss me yet?’ I’m so tired of this poor excuse for a president I can hardly stand it. I miss GWB and I miss the Dose, too.

I miss Cheney, too!

[Morgan in Denver]

It would be interesting to see the comparison, day by day or month by month of GWB vs 0. Between campaign appearances, date nights and vacations, it would make interesting reading for the Democrats and Independents.
