But it's Cheney's hubris that bolsters his rep as a dark force in American politics. From a transcript of the interview:
Q: Bob Woodward reported that President Ford thought you had justified the war wrongly, and that he agreed with Colin Powell that you developed a fever, I think was the word, about Saddam Hussein, about terrorism. Did you feel that was accurate? Did it surprise you?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I've never heard that from anybody but Bob Woodward.
Q: And other comments that -- criticism from Scowcroft about not knowing you anymore -- people have got quite personal, people you worked with before. You wouldn't be human if it didn't have some reaction.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I'm Vice President and they're not.
A: Both.

Around the holidays I was watching A Christmas Carol and it struck me how much Alastair Sim, who played Scrooge, looks like Vice President Dick.

Careful what you say about the Dick. Man's got a shotgun. To him, you might look like just another lawyer, er, bird. And then, assuming you weren't dead, you'd have to apologize to him for all the embarrassment you'd caused by being shot by a Dick.
I thought George C. Scott played Scrooge. Or was it Patrick Stewart? Mr. Magoo? Kelsey Grammer? Noel Leslie? Albert Finney?
You forgot Michael Caine,Hoyt Axton and Fonzie. Everyone and his brother has played Scrooge, but this one is from the 50s.
And yes, I know I have to watch what I say about people.
It was his talk about how the Iraq war had been some sort of "glowing success." Of course, it certainly has been a glowing success for Halliburton, which explains a lot.
