Cheney: Vice presidency is a ‘cruddy job.’

[kpete]

Cheney: Vice presidency is a ‘cruddy job.’ According to a new biography by Stephen Hayes, in 1996, Cheney “called the vice presidency a ‘cruddy job,’ which his political mentor, President Gerald Ford, had hated. But by 2000 Cheney was persuaded to accept when George W. Bush offered the position.”

1. I don't think Gerald Ford was really Cheney's mentor

I believe that Cheney's real mentor was Pluto, Roman God of Avarice and Death.

3. I trust the book will be in the fiction section.

Deputy Fuhrer Dick wouldn't know the truth if he passed it in the street.

4. uh..Cheney was supposed to be looking for a candidate for VP

7. Another Right Wing Fairy Tale...

Hayes must have done lots of "research" for the book. He got on the phone, called Rove who put him through to Matalin who wrote most of the book and crashcart snarled for some pictures. Hayes is such a dynamic "writer" :rofl:

And now are we supposed to believe that poor crashcart should be pittied for taking a job he didn't want? Welcome to the REAL world asshat. But since this fiction anyway...from a noted wingnut stenographer...just treat this as fiction.

8. So it is, the way he does it!

10. Liar

He covets that job because it allows him to rule the known universe from behind a curtain, and he has a fall guy on either side of the power equation.

11. Which explains why he took the presidential job.
