Evil + Dick = Evil Dick (U.S. German Embassy Cheney Bio)


http://www.usembassy.de/usa/etexts/gov/biograph/cheney.htm
Richard B. Cheney, a distinguished public servant and businessman, is the vice president of the United States. Cheney, a familiar face on the Washington political scene, has served under several U.S. presidents -- George W. Bush will be the fourth -- and as an elected official.

Cheney has said that he sees his role in the administration as that of a frank but discreet adviser to Bush. In accepting the Republican vice presidential nomination, Cheney stated that he looks forward to serving with a president who will work to "get things done by reaching across the partisan aisle and working with political opponents in good faith and common purpose."

In 1995, Cheney signed on as chairman of the board and chief executive officer of Halliburton Company, an oil field services firm based in Dallas, Texas, that employs 100,000 people in 20 countries. Although he thought briefly about running for president in 1996, Cheney opted instead to remain at Halliburton, which he did until his selection as George W. Bush's running mate.

Cheney married his secondary school sweetheart, Lynne Ann Vincent, in 1964. Lynne Cheney has had her own career in public service, having served as chair of the National Endowment for the Humanities from 1986 to 1993. More recently, she has been senior fellow in education and culture at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research. Vice President and Mrs. Cheney have two children, daughters Elizabeth and Mary, and three granddaughters.

4. It was during the "mad cow" scare...people stopped buying beef...
...and they had a news clip of Junior at the Crawford ranch telling people to buy beef, there's nothing wrong with it...because his Texas cattlemen buddies were probably all having small heart attacks.

He said "I had beef for lunch today." At the time, it sounded to me like the stupidest thing I'd head him say to date. I had also discovered DU within a day or two of him making the comment, so I became Bush_Eats_Beef.

I formatted it as "Bush_Eats_Beef" instead of "Bush Eats Beef" as a salute to the pre-Windows XP days when you couldn't have spaces in your file names in Windows. I figured the president is out of step and behind the times, so I'm actually saluting his stupidity on two levels.

Thanks for asking, and cheers!
