Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday said maybe the image of Bush being a traditional American cowboy as painted by his critics abroad was not such a bad one.
“The notion that the president is a cowboy, I don’t know, as a Westerner, I think that’s not necessarily a bad idea,” Cheney told NBC’s “Meet the Press” program. “I think the fact of the matter is, he cuts to the chase, he is very direct, and I find that very refreshing.” [Reuters, 3/16/03]
