1. Another interesting fact on Dick Cheney:

He is only the second VP to shoot a man while serving as VP. The other was Aaron Burr, back in 1804.

2. He also picked himself to be shrubs running mate

I shit you not

3. Which was in violation of the Constitution (2 same-staters)

So he shammed a quick Wyoming residency. I shit you not, too!

4. Imagine a candidate for high public office

not even voting in 14 of the 16 elections he was qualified to vote in in Texas up to the time he named himself as a presidential running mate

6. "only the second"

Should I expect there were more?

7. Not really, I guess.

There hasn't been a VP to shoot a man in over 200 years. It's not a surprise to me at all that Dick Cheney was the VP to put an end to that. This fact just stood out to me, is all.
