I don't personally remember applauding the selection of Cheney to "round out the ticket", it just added another Oil Man to the posse, and Condi Rice was later added to really get things oiled up. Cheney is a nut. A useless ChickenHawk, like the rest of the administration - Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Bush, Rove, Ashcroft. Cheney and Rove run the country, and he also made a tidy sum of $174, 000 last year from Halliburton. Oh well, they will lose in Nov. anyway. I now have to get back to watching my beloved Fox News.
