Cheney kids about Bush and Gore
Vice President Dick Cheney poked fun at his boss’ relationship with the press corps as he spoke at the Gridiron, an annual gathering of Washington journalists.
“The president is really sorry he couldn’t be here tonight, but he had another obligation,” Cheney said. “His book club is meeting.”
Cheney also took a few lighthearted jabs at his predecessor, noting that former Vice President Al Gore’s house uses an above-average amount of energy.
“Many argue that global warming is man-made,” Cheney said, “and it looks like they found the man.”
