Vice President Dick Cheney, yesterday: “I made sure both in 2000 and 2004 that the president had other options. I mean, I didn’t ask for this job. I didn’t campaign for it. I got drafted. And delighted to serve.”

Does this man have some unresolved issues with the concept or the word ‘draft’? Wasn’t Cheney in charge of the Veep search in 2000? Got drafted? I think that’s called choosing yourself.
