My son in law, Aaron, who spent a year in Baghdad with the army got the chance today at his army base, Fort Dix in New Jersey, to meet vice president Dick Cheney. After a brief speech to about 50 of his fellow soldiers and him, Cheney walked down the line to thank, meet and and shake hands with the soldiers. He walked down the line asking where each soldier served while shaking hands. When he got to Aaron and asked him, Aaron's reply was simply " I voted for Kerry/Edwards". Cheney replied "I'm sorry". Aaron replied back " I'm sorry you won". End of meeting.
God Bless America!

I just realized something today. Maybe they drove the guys over to McGuire because if Cheney went to the Army base the headline would have read "Dick Visits Dix" or something similar.

Hey! If they call Donald Trump "The Donald" then maybe we should call Dick Cheney "The Dick"! All in favor, say "Aye!"

Must be a recurring theme with Republican Vice Presidents. If you unscramble the letters in "Spiro Agnew" you can spell "grow a penis."
