CHENEY: I went out and spent about a year, raised a lot of money (UNINTELLIGIBLE), did 160 campaigns in that election cycle around the country. All those things you would do if you wanted to run. And then I sat down over the holidays and — with the family to decide whether or not I wanted to run for president myself.

And I concluded I did not. That I wasn't prepared to do those things I would have to do if I was to be a serious candidate for president for the next two years after that. And it was a good decision. It made sense then, it makes sense for me now.

And then I went off to private life. And I enjoyed that very much. The only reason I came back, as I say — and I did so reluctantly at first — was because I came to believe in George Bush and because he asked me. And I think when a president of the United States asks you to take on an important assignment, you try to do it if you can.

But this is my last campaign. I have no desire or aspiration to run for anything else, not to run for president in 2008. And so this will — this will be it.

1. Besides other issues: his health is too fragile

no way he'd make it and he damn well knows it.
What a pantload

2. He has already been president.

3. no way...

he's going to go back to Halliburton and reap the rewards...

4. that question is about as academic

as asking Nader if he'd run for reelection in 2008.

8. Exactly!

But that's fauxsux for ya'.

5. What a lovely smirk...Cheney's been practicing!

I'll bet he's got a really cute snigger, too. But that tie has to go. He hasn't earned the right to display the rainbow of love, tolerance, and acceptance, let alone mute the colors and turn them pastel. (How's that for a "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" review?)
(P.S.: Jeez, I HOPE he's straight!)

6. Reluctant my eye

Seems to me Cheyney was asked to review prospective choices for VP and he ended up naming himself. Doesn't sound too "reluctant" to me.

7. No desire or aspiration? Why doesn't he drop out now and take * along?

If he said that with that smirk on his face, you know he's lying.
