Washington Whispers: Luddite Dick Cheney starts using email

By Paul Bedard  Posted: July 15, 2010
Why do they call me, Dr. Evil? 

As vice president, Dick Cheney never carried a BlackBerry, didn't E-mail or carry a laptop, and really never searched the Internet.

An icon of the old school, he's also writing his autobiography on yellow pads which his daughter Liz Cheney then transcribes into a computer. "He's a little set in his ways," she says.

But other than the authorship, times are changing for the veep. "I hate to disappoint you, but he does use all of those things now," she says.

Awkwardly. In his early E-mails to Liz, he would open with: "Dear Liz, this is your father speaking." Says Liz, "He's getting a little bit better at the E-mail."

Rightardia guesses this is the conservative version of a 'human-interest' story.  Is Darth Cheney human with his LVAD robotic heart?
