It’s odd, but since the DNC Convention has ended, I just can’t wait for the next one! The big RNC Convention starts in a few weeks, so I was reading up on it at the official RNC Convention website!
Given the previous two items about signed loyalty oaths being required to attend a Dick Cheney rally, and the Bush-Cheney campaign’s requirement for journalists to provide their race to the Bush Cheney campaign before getting security clearance, I thought I’d go and learn a little more about this Dick Cheney fellow!
I went straight to “presumptive nominee” Dick Cheney’s official biography page at the site! Very impressive! Lots of interesting information! (Did you know his real name is “Richard”?! He certainly doesn’t look like a Richard!)
He has a very impressive resume though! Reaching all the way back to the 60’s as both a business man and public servant! But, there seems to be a gap in his resume on that page! It says nothing about what Dick Cheney was doing since he left his post as Sec. of Defense in 1993 until the time he became Vice-President in 2000.
Was he just taking a sabbatical or something during that time? Working for the Peace Corp, perhaps? (Though you’d think they would list that if he was). Spending time with his family? Writing a book? Or what? There’s nothing mentioned about the years 1994 to 2001 at all!
On “presumptive nominee” George W. Bush’s official biography page at the site, they speak in detail of his career in “the energy business” and as “managing general partner of the Texas Rangers” during that period. But for Cheney, during those same years, there seems to be nothing! I wonder if they forgot that part of his biography or something? Wierd.
