WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A new national poll suggests that almost a quarter of Americans think that Dick Cheney is the worst vice president in American history.


Vice President Dick Cheney says he's comfortable with his accomplishments and isn't troubled by his ratings.

Twenty-three percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday say that Cheney is the country's worst vice president, when compared with his predecessors.

I guess 77% of the people in this country have someone else in mind? I couldn't imagine anyone worse.

1. They didn't call this address, that's for sure.

2. 77% probably couldnt name another VP outside of Gore

The nation isnt as politically minded as people here.

(Im trying to be nice and not call their ignorance stupidity......)

[garybeck]

4. ya, so they think Gore was worse? n/t

[book_worm]

7. It is stupid. For god sake! what does that say about the majority of people in this country

[gratuitous]

3. You're clearly not familiar with James G. Blaine!

Sits back to listen as folks frantically consult teh Google.

5. Spiro?

:shrug:

8. I was pretty young then but

i've read some history books and i think with torture and plamegate, Agnew couldn't hold a candle to the Evil One.

6. He's worse than Aaron Burr.

9. How odd, I understand many people HATED Ford for the Nixon pardon -

Perhaps that had something to do with it?
It doesn't make sense with his "approval" rating.
It was a phone poll, I wonder what the criteria was for the numbers called - I would imagine random locations, but who knows.

10. hey I just noticed this domain name is available

fuckyoudickcheney.com

if I didn't have a strong drive to focus on the positive, I'd buy up the domain name right now.

[Dragonfli]

11. I am tempted to buy it right now and

put up a website within the hour (I have my own server)
Not worth the $8 a year FOR HIM so I won't.

[garybeck]

13. i have the same reasoning.

for me it would cost $10 per year. but it's not the money, as much as it is the "energy" that I'd be putting into it. even tho the person makes me SO angry, I feel it would be like letting him drag me down.

I wonder, when we really have a chance to look back, how many people he killed. I agree with the shoe thrower guy --- we killed a bunch of Iraqi children. And I hate to use the "B" word but I do blame Cheney for a lot of it.

[Dragonfli]

16. If the shoe fits Blame Him - He is clearly among those gleefully responsible

Beyond blame, he should be tried for war crimes, I doubt there would be trouble convicting him based on real evidence in an honest court.

12. It reminds me of that Katrina guy, "Fuck you Mr. Cheney!"

The "Mr." part was so classic southern hospitable!

[annabanana]

14. The internals of that poll must be a house of mirrors. . .n/t

[Patsy Stone]

15. Was their sample 100 guys in their mom's basements?

:wtf:

[garybeck]

17. I think the sample was of CEOs

and chicken hawks
