Cheney, Little Seen by Public, Plays a Visible Role for Bush

Well, yeah, he's got bushya in his Thrall.

My theory: Cheney died of a heart attack on 11 Sept 2001. What's wandering the halls of the white house and oil company headquarters nowadays is actually a Weekend-at-Bernies-esque zombie of what used to be Cheney. Occasionally, he forays beyond the white house gates because, you know, zombies want to eat brains and the fare in the white house leaves him starving. Just a thought.
