Cheney's Dick Almost two weeks after Katrina descended on New Orleans, Bush dispatched his sidekick to apply some spin to the affected area. "I think the progress we're making is significant," Cheney said.  "I think the performance, in general, at least in terms of the information I've received from locals, is definitely very impressive." It's surprising he didn't claim that the devastation is in its last throes. While Cheney spoke, a passer-by hurled an expletive at the vice president.  "First time I've heard it," Cheney said, when asked if he was hearing a lot of such sentiments. Cheney's cardiovascular maladies are well know, but apparently he suffers from hearing loss too. 1:04:39 PM    comment []
