Dick Cheney rapes Kittens moved to Dick Cheney
Dick Cheney serves as the Vice President of the United States, first elected in 2000 along with President [[George W. Bush]]. Cheney was re-elected along with President Bush in 2004.
== Life and Family ==
Richard 'Dick' Cheney was born in Lincoln, Nebraska.[http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/1] He has both a BA and an MA in Political Science from the University of Wyoming [http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/2]. He married his wife [[Lynne Cheney]] in 1964. They have two daughters; Elizabeth and Mary. Mary is a controversial figure, as she is a lesbian, who has a daughter with her same-sex partner. This is direct contrast with the views of a large number of the Bush Administration's supporters, who are opposed to homosexuality on religious and moral grounds. Mr. Cheney believes same-sex marriage and other laws relating to homosexuality should be decided at State Level. [http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/24/cheney.samesex/2]
== Political Career ==
Richard Cheney assumed his first political post at the age of 28 when he became an intern near the beginning of the [[Richard Nixon]] administration. He quickly came to the attention of [[Donald Rumsfeld]], then directing the Office of Economic Opportunity, and was promoted to a paid position in 1971. As the [[Watergate]] scandal and Nixon's resignation loomed in 1973, Cheney became vice president of an investment firm for a year, but Rumsfeld convinced [[Gerald Ford]] upon the latter's accession to the presidency that Cheney was indispensible, and he was recalled to public service. Eventually Cheney replaced Rumsfeld as [[Chief of Staff]] to Ford as Rumsfeld was promoted to [[Secretary of Defense]].
Upon hearing that Cheney had been selected by Bush as his running mate, the ever-litigious [[Paula Jones]] sued to disqualify them from receiving the electoral votes of [[Texas]]. Her theory was that under the [[12th Amendment]] to the [[U. S. Constitution]], no state may give its electoral vote to a Presidential ticket both of whose members are from that state. [[Republican]] lawyers argued that Cheney's ties to [[Wyoming]] were more significant than those to Texas, which had effectively been dissolved as soon as Lynne carried out Richard's instructions to sell their house there. Whatever its implications for a literal reading of the Amendment, this argument prevailed in Federal district court, and Jones did not appeal. Had Jones won, [[Albert Gore]] would have won the 2000 election, as the margin in the [[Electoral College]] was a scant five votes.
== Health Issues: ==
In March 2007 Mr. Cheney had surgery to remove a blood clot in his leg, the result of extended periods of sitting while airborne during the international PR mission that brought him out of his normally undisclosed location.
== Military Service: ==
Mr. Cheney has never served in the military, having acquired no less than 5 deferrals during the VietNam War.
== Accidents: ==
On February 11, 2006, Mr. Cheney shot his hunting partner in the face after mistaking him for a quail.
'''Cheney sprayed Whittington with birdshot on his face and upper torso''' in Saturday's hunting accident. Whittington suffered a mild heart attack Tuesday, doctors said, after a piece of birdshot in his body migrated to a heart muscle. ...
"My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this week," Whittington said.
