ABOARD AIR FORCE II - Vice President Dick Cheney didn't suffer for comfort on the cavernous cargo plane that he rode into Iraq and Afghanistan this week.
The Air Force loaded the plane with the "silver bullet," a mobile home in the sky strapped down in the middle of the belly. The accommodations included sleeping and working quarters that protected him from the noise and cold of the cargo hold during a more than five-hour flight into Baghdad.
The rest of his traveling party was not so lucky. Cheney's senior staff and junior aides were assigned to a cramped three rows of seats in front of the bullet, while reporters and Secret Service agents had to sit in jump seats along the side with a view of Cheney's stainless steel exterior walls.

The vice president is an iPod fan, and keeping it charged is a priority for his staff.
Normally that isn't an issue, even when he's flying around the world. Air Force II is equipped with outlets in each row of seats.
But when Dick Cheney was traveling home overnight Wednesday from his diplomatic mission, most of the outlets went on the fritz.
Working passengers began lining up their laptops to share the power from a couple of working outlets — particularly the reporters who urgently needed to prepare their articles to transmit during a quick refueling stop in England.
But when Cheney said his iPod needed to be recharged, it took precedent above all else and dominated one precious outlet for several hours. The vice president's press staff intervened so a reporter could use the outlet for 15 minutes to charge a dead laptop, but then the digital music device was plugged back in.
That way, Cheney got his press coverage and his music, too.
I guess this AP news chick would rather that Cheney freeze to death on these flights.
But she doesn't complain about her neighbors forcing her to pick hot steaming doggie-doo with her dainty clear plastic gloved hands, now does she?
What do you expect from someone named Nedra Pickler?
Anything to nitpick. That's all they live for. The liberal media are professional sissies.
Way cool.
I wonder how long until members of the Senate start asking whether this is an impeachable offense because of the law that states you aren't allowed to charge iPods on an Air Force cargo plane. </sarcasm>
The reporters should have been duct taped to the wings. Ya ain't going to please them, so, might as well please yourself.
The gist of this article: "Cheney bad. Cheney scum. Cheney should suffer like the poor women and minorities he crushes beneath his boot."
duct tape hell..remember "flight of the phoenix" with jimmy stewart?? let them just hang on and hope for the best..:)
Apple ought to run commercials showing that both the Vice President and the President use an iPod.
Fritz is on it!
Nedra Nit-Pickler
Exactly who put a gun to the babette's head and made her go on the trip? She could always arrange her own transportation. I'd never let these scum ride on AF1 or AF2.

Further proof that the goal of liberalism is to spread the misery equally.
Good visual.
So, the journalist's mommy didn't remind him the day before to charge his own danged lap top? Send him packing, he's too widdle to play with the big dawgs.
