"One of the great gifts Cheney bestows upon Bush is he doesn't have any aspirations of being president," said Mike Franc, vice president for government relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation. With Al Gore, President Clinton's vice president, Franc said, "There was always a background tension because Gore himself harbored the presidential aspiration."

Franc conceded that early in his first term Bush, 58, "was deferring quite a bit" to Cheney, 63. But he said the two men have "a great partnership" and trust that will only be "deeper and fuller" in Bush's second term.

He dismissed speculation that the FBI investigation into whether a Halliburton subsidiary improperly received lucrative federal government contracts for work in Iraq without competitive bidding was a serious distraction that could put pressure on Cheney to step down or render him ineffective.

"There are about 1,000 people who really care about that - and half are the media and the others are liberal blocs," Franc said. "That issue does not resonate."

Shall we teach them how to count? AND open their eyes? These guys just do not see or acknowledge half of the country, do they?

1. The liberal "blocs" sure are small

I guess when you have absolute power, you don't sweat the small stuff, like being a corporate criminal. What's that compared to a Nuremberg offense?
