I'd love to know who the shouting guy is. [Windows Media video]

Is it interesting that Cheney doesn't address the guy? Not only doesn't he address the insult, but he looks down, ignoring the person, as if it isn't happening. An act of denial. These are your constituents. That guy might even have voted for you in '04, Mr. Vice President.

Great politicians can roll with this kind of thing. Imagine someone trying to shout down Teddy Roosevelt, or for a modern example, Bill Clinton. At least engage with the person. Disarm them. Crack a joke. Do something.
