Cheney laughed it off and started to say something to the effect of "He must be a friend of.... Nevermind...."
Actually Cheney said, "He must be a friend of Jon St...Nevermind."
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Even better. Though the impetus to shut up seems less imperative.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oh, I don't know. JS would have had even more of a field day with it, if that's what he actually meant to say.

Cutting himself off didn't keep it from being aired on TDS, though.
I vote that Cheney should be less self-censoring, in the interest of liberals who wish to be amused by his cranky potty-mouth.

From Salon:
Wait, wait we take it all back. We mocked Dick Cheney earlier today for getting snippy about how he had to cut short his vacation to deal with Hurricane Katrina. But it turns out that we were maligning the vice president unfairly. It turns out that he -- or at least his office -- was working all along.
According to a report in the Hattiesburg American, Cheney's office placed calls to the Southern Pines Electric Power Association on Aug. 30 and Aug. 31, insisting that the agency immediately repair two electrical substations that supply power to Atlanta-based Colonial Pipeline Co., a company that pumps gasoline and diesel from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast.
Southern Pines complied with the order from Cheney's office, the paper says -- taking a risk that the repair work would knock out power throughout its system and delaying by at least a day efforts to restore power to two rural hospitals and a number of water systems in Mississippi.
Neither Cheney's office nor Colonial Pipeline would respond to questions from the paper about the vice president's directives.
