I didn't know that he did, or why he did. I'd advise him not to use it
if he were to ask me, but it does not concern me much. Mostly I
thought he was rather respectful of the tea bag persons, giving them
more legitimacy than I would.

The story about Bush is nothing but hearsay unless more news on it has
broken since the last I heard that story and Cheney was VP (please re-read
the title of the thread) in a personal conversation and his actual quote
hasn't been reveled to the best of my knowledge, again, hearsay.
