Many people don’t seem to realize. The purpose of the idiot vice president is to distract. They do an excellent job of fufilling that purpose.
Go back and look at the timing. Every time the old Bush started taking heat on an issue. Quale would hit the trail and make some bone-headed faux-pas. Presto! All the news is talking about is Quale and Bush is no longer under fire.
I haven’t watched the timing on Chenney, but I would expect the same.
YEPPPPPPER. Back in the day Cheney was good for Wyoming, but he met up with the Texans and went to helll!!! Probably the only reason Bush II was assassinated was that Cheney would have become Pres and very unlikely to get both of them out at the same time.

At least Dan Quale was not actually Evil, unlike Chenney.

That Obama sure picked an idiot for Vice President.
That McCain sure picked an idiot for Vice President. (But at least they lost.)
