There should have been a citizen arrest for Cheney.
Vice President Dick Cheney got carded. Not for drinking but for voting.
It happened at the Teton County clerk's office Thursday in Wyoming, when the vice president, accompanied by his wife and a Secret Service detail, dropped in unexpectedly to cast an absentee ballot in next Tuesday's primary election.
An election worker, Mike Farady, asked the vice president for his driver's license.
"The reason is we are supposed to confirm identity with a photo ID and it also helps confirm residency and that was the easiest way to do it," Farady told the Jackson Hole News & Guide. "I know he is the vice president and I know he can vote, but I wanted to make sure he can vote here and now."
Others hanging around the clerk's office were delighted at the exchange.
"I was sitting here and saw the Secret Service come in," said fellow voter Bob Grady. "Isn't that a great thing about the United States of America? That you can be filling in your ballot and the vice president comes in and votes next to you?"
