   Thought Process Flowchart: Dick Cheney

Dick Cheney would happily attend the GOP convention—if it were held in secret and written by energy lobbyists.

Although the 2008 GOP convention in St. Paul sounds like loads of fun—making myriad speeches trying to convince yourself and others that John McCain actually wants the job of president—several prominent Republicans have already said they're not planning to attend.

The list of no-shows is impressive—Alaska Senator Ted Stevens (busy remodeling his outhouse and sending out Internets), Maine Senator Susan Collins (busy reminding her constituents how much she hates being a Republican), and Congressman Bob Shaffer, who is running for Senate in Colorado (and busy taking down his son's racist Web page).

According to numerous news reports during the week, Dick Cheney was opting out of this year's convention.

In response to this, the Republican National Committee announced Friday that Cheney WILL in fact speak on the same night as President Bush. Nonetheless, we can't help trying to figure out why a sitting vice president might skip his party's convention.

Very good. It's kinda like a storyboard for a new Edgar Allen Poe movie, uh, "A Telltale Dick?"
