tbh, I see him as more of an Senator Palpatine during the 2000 campaign, and an Emperor Palpatine in 2004. Bush is Vader to Cheney's Palpatine - weak and manipulatable imho.
Would this make Rahm Han Solo? Or would that be Joey? Would Axelrod be Chewbacca? I could see it.
Vice President Dick Cheney spelled out Tuesday his differences with President Bush on the volatile issue of gay marriage, while for the first time discussing the sexual orientation of his gay daughter in a public setting.
Asked his position on the subject at a town hall meeting in Davenport, Iowa, Cheney replied: "Lynne and I have a gay daughter, so it's an issue that our family is very familiar with. ... With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is that freedom means freedom for everyone. People ought to be able to free -- ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to."
Cheney went on to repeat the position he first outlined in the 2000 campaign -- that same-sex marriage should be left to the states to decide. He noted, however, that Bush has endorsed a constitutional amendment preventing the states from recognizing such marriages.
"At this point ... my own preference is as I've stated," Cheney said. "But the president makes basic policy for the administration. And he's made it."

Let me tell you, Barack telling Rahm he'd rather kiss a wookie is funnier than hell.

The more people that support same-sex marriage, the better, even if it is Dick Cheney.
Realistically, what's the worst that could happen? He becomes disowned by his own party, thus proving Colin Powell right in the process? Ha!
