Toppling Saddam was one thing. But Associated Content also has an intriguing 2006 piece about Cheney topping his wife.
Under the unimaginative headline "Did Dick Cheney Have Sex with His Wife One Night in October of 1965 Simply to Get Out of Vietnam?" Timothy Sexton notes this:
On October 26, 1965, the Selective Service changed its mind about married men being drafted. It would now accept married men without children, though married men with children would remain exempt.
At the time, Cheney was classified 1-A, eligible to be drafted. If he had children, he'd be reclassified 3-A.
Sexton counts backward from the birth of Cheney's daughter Liz on July 28, 1966. Whadda you know: There's almost exactly nine months' difference. Sexton, in his mean-spirited piece, figures that Dick impregnated wife Lynne in late October 1965, right when he learned that married men without children were going to be drafted.
And Sexton points out that Cheney was re-classified from 1-A to 3-A in January 1966. That would be shortly after it was confirmed that Lynne was pregnant.
That spared Dick Cheney from Vietnam. I was a psychiatric 4-F during that war, and I'm still nuts, but that doesn't mean I was crazy enough to have sex with Lynne Cheney in 1965 or invade Iraq in 2003.

Dick Cheney and the Heart of War

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/40894/did_dick_cheney_have_sex_with_his_wife.htmlVice President of the United States and the chief architect of the illegal US invasion of Iraq (sorry George, but we now know you were little more than your place in this debacle is behind Donald Rumsfailed, hence your resistance to fire him despite conducting a war against Iraq—Iraq!—that it is now clear is going to go on longer than World War II) recently made this statement regarding the Democrats’ move to set a timeline for bringing troops home: To cut and run now would send the message to terrorists that the US doesn’t have the stomach for a prolonged war.
How amazingly convenient that Dick Cheney himself finally found the intestinal fortitude to stick with a prolonged war when he was too old to actually fight for his principles himself. You see, Dickie—may I call him Dickie—no? Okay, Dickless, you see had a golden opportunity to test his stomach for prolonged warfare in defense of American principles when he was a young man. Dickless was of draft age at the height of the Vietnam war.
In July of 1965 as Lyndon Johnson—a Democrat, mind you, proving that unnecessary wars are not the exclusive domain of the Republicans—was ramping up the business for Exxon and DuPont over in Vietnam, he found he needed more troops than he had so therefore doubled the draft calls. On October 26, 1965 the Selective Service changed its mind about married men being drafted. It would now accepted married men without children, though married men with children would remain exempt. Since Dickless was classified as 1-A that meant he would he could be drafted regardless of his being a married man.
In mid-January of 1966 Dickless Cheney was reclassified. He was now longer 1-A, but 3-A. What’s the difference? 3-A meant that you were no longer eligible to be drafted because it would prove a hardship on your family. You see, Dickless and his wife Lynne were soon to give birth to a little lesbian daughter. And yes, I mean that literally, since all the evidence points to the fact that sexual preference is a total misnomer and we are born with a proclivity toward heterosexuality or homosexuality. And on July 28, 1966 the Cheneys were blessed with their little bundle of joy.
It’s a lovely and romantic story, isn’t it? Isn’t it? Hmm, do you notice something strange about those dates? Let’s do a little math, shall we? and October 26, 1965 to July 28, 1966. How many months separate those dates? Hey, that’s almost nine months exactly, isn’t it! Almost nine months exactly separates the announcement that married men with children will remain exempt from being drafted from the date that Dickless became a dad.

Nine months and two days separate the time betwen when Cheney learned married but childless men could be drafted and the date when Cheney no longer was a childless married man.
