some dicks never go away

JACKSON, Wyo. -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney is using his popularity with Republican conservatives to give a boost to Mitt Romney, hosting a fundraiser for the party's likely nominee at a mountain valley resort as well as a private dinner at his Wyoming home.

Romney has avoided appearing in public with Cheney or with former President George W. Bush – both are seen as divisive figures by many of the swing voters he needs to win over if he's going to defeat President Barack Obama. The Cheney-sponsored events Thursday evening at this resort town near Yellowstone National Park represent a welcome endorsement for Romney, who is eager to win over more of the party's base.

Romney doesn't have a close relationship with the former vice president, a veteran of five Republican presidential administrations and a huge draw for GOP donors. While Romney speaks regularly with former President George H.W. Bush, he seldom refers by name to the most recent Bush to occupy the White House. On occasion he goes out of his way not to say Bush's name out loud and simply calls him "the predecessor" to Obama.

Cheney has generally shied away from politicking and he remains controversial, in part because of his hawkish foreign policy stances, including his support for interrogation techniques like waterboarding.

2. Love your title! I knew exactly who you were referring to!

I had a friend who had a heart attack when she was in her twenties (it was a congenital thing). Pretty serious, clinically dead for a few minutes. I remember another friend commenting (after heart attack friend had recovered) "she's just the same, she hasn't learned from this"

I often think that about Cheney. How can someone who is so consistently close to death live with so much hate in his heart? Even Lee Atwater got the message: "my illness has taught me something about the nature of humanity, love, brotherhood and relationships that I never understood, and probably never would have."
