He didn't watch them.

A source close to Bush said the former president was traveling at the time, enroute to New Mexico where he is the keynote speaker Thursday night at a fund raising dinner for a scholarship program for students at Artesia High School.

3. He's on vacation

It's his first love. The only reason Cheney is out there is because he's looking to polish his legacy before he dies of whatever terminal illness it is that he has.

17. To be fair

He is accustomed to others doing the reading, and watching for him and then telling him later what his reaction is supposed to be.

[truthisfreedom]

18. As informed as always. That's our chimpy.

One finger up his nose, one thumb up his ass.
