Cheney
I always kind of liked Cheney. What little of him I've watched, he always called 'em like he saw 'em. And if asked a question he didn't want to answer, instead of mealy mouthing around, he just said he wasn't going to answer.
A couple of others I like are Dennis Kuchnich? and Bernie Sanders. Kuchnich is an engaging conversationalist, and appears quite bright. Besides, he's somewhat of a babe magnet...gotta give him credit.
Sanders, to his credit, may be the most honest person on the Hill. He actually had the balls to run as a Socialist.
Sandy, I would like to thank you for bring up one of my all time favorite politicians...Harry S. Truman.
Being a fellow Missourian, he scores a few points just for that...at least in my eyes. As a kid, he used to go to the renuions of the former Missouri Confederate Guerrilla's...you know, the Quantrill, James, Younger, "Bloody Bill" crowd. I'll bet he met some interesting characters there.
And any politician who not only goes to bed, but goes to sleep on election night, is my kind of guy. That tells me that he really didn't care if he had the job, or not.
Not to mention, he fired MacArthur. Which shows that he didn't play "go along to get along".
MacArthur supposedly said afterward, "The little SOB had the guts to fire me, and I like him".
