Cheney: 'I'm a real party animal'

UPI | March 31 2006

U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney scored points as a stand-up comedian, telling a radio and television correspondents' gathering: "I'm a real party animal."

Filling in for President George Bush, who was en route to a summit in Mexico, Cheney poked fun at himself and others at the 62nd annual Radio & Television Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington Wednesday night.

Referring to the accidental shooting of a lawyer while quail hunting in Texas earlier this year, Cheney squinted into the bright lights.

"The lighting could be better but I can still see the whites of your eyes," he said.

He accompanied his routine with a slide show, and one picture showed him in a room crowded with revelers and Cheney in the center, sitting and poring over a stack of documents.

"I know how to have fun," he said. "I'm a real party animal."

And as he talked about a meeting he was supposed to have with the president, slide after slide showed Cheney alone, The Washington Post reported.
