My mother developed a deep, primal loathing for Cheney right at the start of the the 2000 campaign, which kind of surprised my sister and me. We didn't like him, goodness knows, but we didn't quite see why she was so passionately against him. We couldn't get her to be specific about why, other than the way his mouth twisted on one side. But she apparently sensed something about him she couldn't articulate that my sister and I missed, at least before he got into office. But it wasn't long after that that we started congratulating her on her intution. She died (at the age of 93) shortly before the hunting incident; my sister and I were very annoyed that it hadn't happened while she was still alive, because she would have enjoyed it immensely. (Not the old guy getting shot in the face, obviously, but Cheney's embarrassment.)
