5. Ahaa, you forgot one important one: "Cheney fixed the facts"

<snip>

Your search - "Cheney fixed the facts" - did not match any documents.

Suggestions:
- Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
- Try different keywords.
- Try more general keywords.

<end snip>

So Dick Cheney really does fly under the radar it appears.

7. I received 171,000 hits for him.

[whistle]

11. with or without the quotation marks.....

...without the quotation marks, most of the primary hits are for "Bush" and "Cheney" appears only incidental to the search.
