'Furious George' and 'Dangerous Dick': What a Team

In her book "Bushworld," New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd gives President Bush the name "Furious George" .

Dowd uses effortless irony in support of positive discrimination, suggests 'Furious George', as she calls Bush II, thinks social security is a dating service, and writes of the war in Iraq: 'This administration is the opposite of the movie The Sixth Sense. They don't see any dead people.'

Dowd is positively kind to Bush compared with Alexandra Wilson's portrayal of "Dangerous Dick" (Cheney) in the U.K.'s Mirror. It's about the ugliest description of a politician I've seen. The picture of the bloody child in the middle of the article is definitely over-the-top. But, she lists 20 "facts" about Cheney--does anyone know how many are true?
