Cheney's Historical Soul Brother - Caligula or Vlad the Impaler?
I am having a hard time deciding which historical figure that most closely resembles Cheney.

2. Let's not forget Torquemada.
I think he's a definite contender.

3. Neither..
Caligula had lots of sex, and Vlad actually had a real enemy to wage war against.

4. Scrooge.....
He was just decreasing the surplus population. (I know Scrooge is fictional, but it just fit somehow!)

I think the delay in reporting the shooting was to sanitize the scene and get everyone's story straight. No, the vice president did not have to be physically restrained from licking the wounds and masturbating. No, he did not have be shown the garlic and silver before he got himself under control. A few hours, a couple of plump ten year old girls, a full body hose down, and a change of clothes and he was calm, collected, and in the zone.

6. Hmm, wracking my brain for the historical power behind the throne

villains. Cheney spreads his poison behind the scenes, has little to do with his "subjects," refuses all public tributes, just sits in whatever hole he hides in and spreads evil out from it.

There are plenty of prince regents out there to choose from, as well as a few powerful clerics who guided and manipulated dimwitted monarchs into becoming monsters.
