Cheney: I'm actually 'lovable'
Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that his image has gotten a bad rap in the press and that he is in fact “a warm, lovable sort.”
Cheney conceded in an interview with CBS radio that he sometimes expresses himself “rather forcefully toward some of my compatriots, like Pat Leahy from Vermont” but dismissed as a caricature the idea that he is a “Darth Vader-type personality.”
“I think all of that’s been pretty dramatically overdone,” the vice president said. “I’m actually a warm, lovable sort.”
Cheney also insisted that his influence within the Bush administration was overstated throughout the past eight years. “The notion that somehow I was pulling strings or making presidential-level decisions. I was not,” he said.
“There was never any question about who was in charge. It was George Bush. And that’s the way we operated. This whole notion that somehow I exceeded my authority here, was usurping his authority, is simply not true. It’s an urban legend, never happened."

Only if Cheney would put his gun down and promises that he won't have a heart attack when I tell him that I voted for Obama in 2008.

My sediments exactly!
I don't doubt he's a very personable guy, a lot of sociopaths are. He doesn't have to live with any of the murder and mayhem he causes, so that helps keep his demeanor cheery. It's amazing what you can do if you've got no conscience.

How can one have a heart attack when one doesn't have a heart.

If Dick is some huggable and cuddly why does Lynn look like she's in pain everytime she's photographed? I think the whole hugable thing is wishful thinking on his part.

I don't think I can now, I might injure him and have him be in a wheelchair forever.

It's so nice that you care about him in his feeble state. :)

Cheney presents himself similar to the despots characterized by Charlie Chaplin's famous speech in The Great Dictator: Machine men with machine hearts...
If there's a wounded inner self to Cheney, he keeps it locked away in a bunker at an undislosed location...
