AUDIENCE: Four more years! Four more years! Four more years!

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you all very much. Thank you for that warm welcome. It's great to be here in Wauseon, Ohio. Did I get it right? (Applause.) You have to be careful in this business. I don't know how many of you noticed the other day that John Kerry went to Green Bay, Wisconsin and talked about "Lambert Field" instead of Lambeau Field.

AUDIENCE: Booo!

THE VICE PRESIDENT: We believe he thinks Vince Lombardi is a foreign leader. (Laughter and applause.) You've got be very careful how you pronounce these words.

2. Geez, that was a month ago or more

Get over it Cheney.

3. Ah fer cryin' out loud!

How long do we have to hear about the "Lambert Field" thing? He made one mistake, a minor one, and now thatsa all we hear about. If its stupidity they want to focus on, here's one, bush, to President of Brazil, "are there many blacks in Brazil?"

4. Edwards and Kerry ought to start calling him "Cheeny"

or "Cheeeeeeeeeeeny." Really playing up how stoooooooooopid the actual pronunciation of the name is.

5. Does he REALLY want to open up mispronunciations and

unfamiliar names of foreign leaders as campaign topics? Somehow I don't think his team will come out ahead on those.

Or is football trivia knowledge now an important qualification to be president?

6. football trivia

"which candidate would you rather run your fantasy football team?"

Topic for discussion on the next "Hardball."

7. At least he's not "practicing his love"

Don't go there, Dick.

8. Notice He Didn't Mention Enron Field?

Or Bush's excellent job of managing the Texas Rangers?



Yep, Gordie Howe.
