JOKE'S ON ME:

Trigger-happy Dick Cheney is a dangerous man to have on your side (Niall Ferguson, 19/02/2006, Sunday Telegraph)

At some point, when the history books get written, the question will have to be asked: Was George W Bush the 43rd President of the United States, or was it actually Dick Cheney? Serious analysts of American politics generally discount the idea that the President is merely a puppet whose strings the Vice-President pulls.

So Mr. Ferguson establishes his own unseriousness.
