At the time for a bit he was the right guy. I think the term Rhino started with him. Either way your thoughts he served as the VP and that deserves credit.
Looking back at some of his highlighted quotes in the news, he was a man of few words. Things may have been a little different now if he had spoken a little louder.
I will now no longer be able to ask one of my patients with a broken tooth if they've been hunting with the VicePresident recently (to have broken their tooth when he shot them). Most folks get the joke, the younger ones do not.
