WASHINGTON, March 19 (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney, a lightning rod
for criticism about administration policies, on Sunday rejected the notion
of resigning and said he would serve out his term.

"I made sure both in 2000 and 2004 that the president had other options. I mean,
I didn't ask for this job. I didn't campaign for it. I got drafted," Cheney said
on CBS television's "Face The Nation."

Being part of the administration was a highlight of his career, Cheney said.
"I've now been elected to a second term. I'll serve out my term," he said.

With Bush's public approval ratings at the lowest of his presidency, there has been speculation
about a possible shake-up at the White House.

2. What a fucking bald faced liar!!!
He was 'head' of the VEEP search committee for Bushco in 1999/2000.
He 'drafted' himself. :mad:

And amazingly, that's apparently the only draft notice he's ever felt the need to respond to.

7. That's either the deal with Halliburton or there's still something to give
them. Maybe ownership of the White House? Let them rent it to the president. National parks are still ours. Highway system? Wasn't there something about a private highway somewhere in the mid-west? WATER! That's it! Enron came down, so * will give all the US water to Halliburton! Do it the last month their in office.

8. I'm having this delicious vision right now.....
Cheney's been indicted. They've concluded he's a crook (the least of his offenses). He's getting kicked out of the White House.

They drag him out; they've made it to the front door of the White House, and he's hanging on to the moulding, with his fingernails.

Heh he he
