PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY, WHEN HE

SHOT THAT GUY IN THE FACE, HOW

DID HE TELL YOU?

DID HE COME IN AND CLOSE THE

DOOR?

HOW DID THAT GO DOWN?

ABOUT THAT, HE SHOT THE ONLY

TRIAL LAWYER FOR ME IN TEXAS.

THE GUY WAS A LAWYER.

DID IT EVER SEEM FUNNY AT ALL TO

YOU?

I THINK IT WAS FOR THE WHOLE

COUNTRY REALLY TO SEE HIM DOING

THAT.

>> YEAH, HE'S A GREAT GUY.

MAYBE HE WAS FAKING IT A LITTLE

BIT JUST SO HE DIDN'T HAVE TO GO

TO THE INAUGURATION.

YES?

WITH TRISHIA, OR WE WOULD KNOW.

THAT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE STORY.
