Ex-Vice President Cheney ?
"News" articles are referring to former Vice President Richard "Dick" Cheney as Ex-Vice President Cheney; though the terms have some similarity, there is a difference. When referring to a Vice President who's time in office has expired,he is addressed as "Former Vice President ..." ; but when referring to a Vice President who is removed from office through the Impeachment Process one uses the term Ex-Vice President..."
So, are we observing grammatical incompetence from the graduates of "Prestigious Academies of Journalism", or Deliberate, malicious, and Bigoted disrespect from the "Journalistic Community" ?
If the "Journalistic Community" is establishing a new standard of address for former Vice Presidents, does this now mean that we can now address former Vice Presidents Mondale and Gore as "Mr Ex-Vice President..." ?

i individually think of he's particularly like the different flesh presser: instruct me a flesh presser who hasn't completed something crooked and that i will instruct you a fictitious entity. The noteworthy characteristic that gadgets him aside, despite if; is that he replace right into a conservative in a extreme place of power in a rustic with a predominantly liberal media: clearly his image is going to be distorted to be much less favorable. in addition to, his assertion that he's not antagonistic to gay marriage will recommend slender to no longer something: liberals are nevertheless going to despise him, because of fact they have spent the final 10+ years listening to how destructive of a guy or woman Dick Cheney is. After listening to something for that long, you will clearly commence believing it (particularly in case you prefer to have self belief it). i'm no longer one to show out the obtrusive, yet that feels like an extremely common type ideas-washing to me (purely my ideas)... So, in short... liberals will nevertheless despise Dick Cheney: they don't seem to be going to think of to themselves, "Oh, he's not against gay marriage. i assume that makes each and every thing else I 'hate' approximately him o.k.."

what do you expect from liberal nitwits writing the stories? they're ill-educated & obviously have an agenda other than reporting the news.
they're all just jealous that Dick Cheney meant more to America the past 8 years than obumbler & his fukwit veep will in their only term in office.
with cheney you're safe, unless you go out hunting with him. with obumbler, bend over & grab your ankles cause the mulatto messiah is coming to screw you good (chicago style).

I'm sure they know it is a show of disrespect. That is why they get no respect from me. Journalism is dead. All we get now is the furtherance of agendas and propaganda from the press.
