Within the hour, Vice President Cheney is scheduled to sit down with Vice President-elect Biden at the Vice President's house at the Naval Observatory as part of the traditional courtesy the exiting administration extends to an incoming one.
The two men are old political pros who over the course of their careers have had plenty of tension-filled meetings and this one will probably be little different. Politicians can fake anything, even a pleasant chat.
On the other hand, Cheney did once tell one of Biden's Democratic Senate colleagues to perform an anatomically impossible feat. And as we all know by now, you're never sure what Biden is going to say but you can always be near certain he'll say too much.
Lynne Cheney and Jill Biden, their wives, will be there. So that should keep matters in check.
Ah, to be the proverbial fly on the wall.
Comments
Poor Joe and Jill Biden.
Imagine how much disinfectant they'll need to clean up the stench left behind by Cheney. I don't think I could ever sleep in the same bedroom that housed Darth and his rechargeable titanium heart for eight years.
