Thanks. Maybe you're right--and admittedly demeanor has something to do with it; however, to watch Cheney eviscerate the Sunday morning show hosts is to watch an artist in action, similar to the time that Herb Kelleher got hold of Sam Donaldson.

Yep yep. I wish he were on on 60 Minutes instead of Bob Dole...but the VP has a real job to do. :)

Yes, ol' Bob isn't much. You know, though, that this entire discussion brings up a lot of questions. Does an Ivy League education imply or confer intelligence or intellect? Do academic credentials at all imply or confer them? Actually, were you to see MY resume (especially after reading my posts), you would be astounded at the educational listings. But obviously, when one looks at me personally or looks at my achievements, the answer to both questions is "No, far from it." In fact, there may be a negative correlation! My wife says that one more degree and I'll be TOTALLY worthless. And, give me one Reagan for 20 Robert Reich's.
