Cheney Biography Question
I realize that Cheney is a Republican part insider, who has been associated with them for nearly his entire career, did he have any connections to Bush before he was selected as VP? They didn't grow up together, but they were both involved in the oil industry, so is there perhaps something there?

Thank you very much, in advance, for any help you can provide.

1. It's hard to find a lot of detail.
I did see the name Cheney several times on the list of Skull and Bones members, though.

2. Ah, right.
I forgot about Yale. Thanks.

Cheney was asked to leave because of his unexemplary academic record, no?

3. I think he flunked out.
Also, doesn't he have two DUI's?

4. I think Cheney was the
Defense Secretary under Bush I. I think his only education is that he got a degree from the University of Wyoming but I could be wrong.

5. Cheney must be a good
lay to have done so well with such crappy credentials.
