and he even acted to help out the impoverished needing heating oil in the US and fuel in the Caribbean.

Cheney worked to improve the lot of Dick Cheney and a very tiny group of his most evil "friends", American people be damned. His lies devastated the lives and resources of countless Americans sent to fight an unnecessary war in Iraq and has added greatly to our financial difficulties of today.

I'd find it hard to view Cheney as an "honorable" anything. Chavez is far more the complex individual in my mind.
