Erratic Dick Cheney Shocks Vice Presidential Debate ViewersOct 6 2004 by John Hetherington
Cheney, who began the evening by accusing moderator Gwen Ifill of having a French-sounding name and "ogling Edwards' package," appeared to be a man on a mission. His mission, however, seemed to have more to do with fattening foods than the vice-presidency. When asked how he differed from his opponent on his world view, Cheney launched into a 14-minute tirade on "the beauty of pork chops slathered in gravy." Emergency Medical Technicians stood by as the Vice President waxed poetic on the food before temporarily losing consciousness in his own drool. Yet what appeared to be John Edwards' big break of the evening was soon interrupted as the Vice President then tumbled from his chair and began screaming obscenities. "It really was a unique sight," said NBC News Washington Bureau Chief and Meet the Press host Tim Russert. "The Vice President was raw and uninhibited and I think it's what the American people want to see." If Russert's assessment is accurate, Cheney's performance Tuesday night may have been just what he needed to get his poll numbers out of the negatives and up into the single digits. Perhaps even more shocking was Cheney's proclamation that, contrary to popular belief, he has every intention of seeking the presidency in 2008. "I'll be there and Hillary Clinton better watch out," he said before bursting into a rendition of The Prodigy's 2000 hit Smack My Bitch Up." While to some Cheney's performance was harsh and even a little scary, he revealed a softer side of himself during his closing statement, when he laughed manically while making a marionette of George W. Bush dance. While Democrats were quick to slam the vice president's performance as erratic and bizarre, Cheney supporters claim his it showed "a man who is genuine and sincere - just what America wants." And precisely what America deserves. Related Articles North Korea Offers Nuke Talks, Cheerleaders Oct 4 2004
