Amy, Do you believe Cheney was under the same amount of pressure that Teresa Heinz Kerry was? Probably more so, given that Cheney is a veep who is more involved with the affairs of the administration than, say, Gore or Quayle were. Teresa is just an aspiring First Lady. To over exaggerate, if Bush and Cheney were peasants that spoke up in older times of England, I'd be impressed too. The funny thing is, compared to the wealth of the Heinz family, Bush and Cheney are indeed "peasants." But hey, billionnaire, multi-millionnaire, it's all the same ... Tenchusatsu

Do you believe Cheney was under the same amount of pressure that Teresa Heinz Kerry was? The volume of protests were louder over her than Cheney. Why is that? Amy, there is another issue.......the context/scenario. Cheney told an American senator to fukk off on the Senate floor. That's much worse IMO than telling a media rag to shove off. Having said that, I think both comments were inappropriate. Both THK and Cheney have chosen to be in the public eye. If they can't take the heat, then they need to get out.......again IMO. ted
