Well, Bruce, it's nice to know that since you now realize the incredibly trivial nature of this particular world-shaking issue, you'll now be strongly supporting Kerry. Even you probably realize the difference between Mrs. Kerry blurting out something-- (how much of a stranglehold do you think she has on the political process?)----and Cheney's impromptu suggestion, also perhaps unfortunately blunt. Cheney, it's well known, has clout in the Bush regime.

"He gives me facts I always seem to lack"
