50 grand for these people is peanuts. He'll get more mileage out of this than he would paying a lot more for airtime on a major network.
Now if someone would only start hacking on Cheney and his uncontested "I had other priorities" comment and his Astaire-like draft dodging, I'd be happy.

I've always found your obsession with that quote curious.
Cheney was 27 and married with a family when John Kerry went over to Vietnam. His other priorities were probably his wife and kids. I think your draft dodging charge is wrong regardless. What basis do you have for that statement? The quote?
He entered government service in '69. It's not like he ran to Canada or something.
The statement might have seemed cold on the surface, but I get the feeling it was truthful...that his first allegiance at the time was to his family...and I respect that.
Am I missing something or are you just making coments based on bitterness?
