I can't believe no one turned in bin Laden for $25,000,000. TP, maybe we should put on an Afghan outfit and go looking for him! (LOL)

SEN. JOSEPH BIDEN: No, I'm not saying that, but no one is saying an al-Qaida-like group is likely to get a hold of that, but that's what I'm worried about.

Cheney has made sporadic public appearances since early October, but has shown up alongside the president just once this fall. The vice president's staff routinely refuses to divulge his whereabouts, citing security concerns.
