Rating: Summary: Hes #1 Review: If you want to git a good vew of this grate mans life this is the book for you. Wenever I see people complaneing about are vice president it reely makes me sad, he already has a bad hart and that don't do no good for it, he dont need another one. Chenney is the BEST vice president we ever had in a long time and much better than the other one Bush had before: Quail! It shows in this book how he also worked for the other Bush and Reagan to, which are grate presadents themselves. If you look at this book it will tell you that all he has ever done is make this county grater and grater; but does Dan rather say this on the news? NO! he does'nt. All he ever talks about is things that don't matter to noone, like the why he did'nt go to vietnam like kerry did or stuff with his old company Hallibertin but did any-one stop to think to ask themself why? I do! And I will tell you now that baste on what it says in his book Cheney would never do any thing that is dishonest at all ever. Do you think that just because he could make billions of dollars for his old company, when he is already richer than anyone I know: he would not do it, which would be wrong. DUH, just like this book says he doe'nt even work there anymore, and he is not the type to do wrong things! And just because he met with all the peeple from Enron and Ken Lay an wont let them see the records that do'nt meen nuthing neither. He has a rite to privasy too. They have tried to attack him sense he came in and all they have for it is a lot of nothing. Him and Bush will win again no matter whjat they say or try to make them look bad, which is why he, just like BUsh shoold'nt he releese his old in come tax forms, who cares if every other vice presadent and presadent did. Why shoold they, the liberal media will just try to make it seem like they are rich people that don't care about nuthing but money and anyone who reeds this book will see that it is not true at all! His life is an insperation to us all.
Rating: Summary: A solid juvenile biography about Vice President Dick Cheney Review: It is quite reassuring to see from the photographs in this Gateway Biography that throughout his entire life Dick Cheney had that lopsided grin. "Dick Cheney: A Life in Public Service" explains to young readers exactly why the Vice President "has more experience in government than President Bush." Elaine Andrews begins with the day during the 2000 Presidential Campaign when Cheney was introduced as George W. Bush's running mate and then goes back to the beginning. We get a good sense of Cheney when we read how he went from losing his scholarship at Yale to earning both his B.A. and his M.A. from the University of Wyoming in three years. From working for Donald Rumsfeld to being President Ford's chief of staff and then from Congressman from Wyoming to Secretary of Defense under George H. W. Bush, Andrews lays out Cheney's impressive political resume. However, we still get a sense for the man as well. I have read juvenile biographies of Presidents that are not as solid as this effort. Other Gateway Biographies include George W. and Laura Welch Bush, Al Gore, Joseph Lieberman, John McCain and Colin Powell, which is fairly even handed in terms of covering the complete political spectrum.

Rating: Summary: dick - whatta guy! Review: remeber those mushrooms clouds in EyeRak and how he got five draft deferments so he wouldn't have to go to Vietnam - a war that he supported. And how about his war profittering from halliburton - those choice dick moments are not here!
