Dick Cheney is a man who has been reviled by many, but bested by few. Blazing a trail across the pages of modern history, he shrugs off the negatives and soldiers on, with a pacemaker to keep him on the beat, and a ready sneer for the opposition. Still, even seasoned political reporters were surprised at the aplomb with which he weathered the bad publicity after he blasted the Texas Funeral Service Commissioner, Harry Whittington, smack in the face with load of birdshot. This biting, satirical piece is nevertheless chocked full of tasty facts for Democrats, Republicans and Paulists alike.
