It's FORMER - goshdangit!
Dick Cheney was the FORMER Vice President!


Does it drive anyone else crazy when the pundits refer to him as THE Vice President?

FORMER sounds so much better when referring to that freak.


This is THE Vice President

He doesn't mind having his house show up on google.

This is the FORMER Vice President



Pundits- Reporters - Please, please, please get it straight!

1. They're still referred to as "Vice President", "President", etc. anyway...
Although, I would imagine when the current and the former are both in the discussion at the same time, the former would be explicitly referred to as such.

2. eh - when it comes to Cheney, I think the word former needs to be added to his title.
ick ick ick -

Why won't he just disappear, and then we wouldn't even have to have this discussion.x(
