where in the u.s. is dick cheney?
Just as I began wondering just where the heck Dick Cheney is these days (not just this past week but for as long as I can remember), Josh Marshall writes that several readers of Talking Points Memo are wondering where he is, too.
As Josh points out, Cheney is scheduled to go visit Canada next week and host a fundraiser later this month. News Googling "dick cheney" returns a paucity of results.
So where is ol' Dick?
My two cents: he's distancing himself. With President Bush's approval ratings at an all time low, it would seem like a logical thing to do. But... he's the vice president of our country. He needs to be visible and help provide leadership in these trying times. Or perhaps he just doesn't want to take the ratings hit.
