It is interesting that Gore gets a full article just for controversies, while it is instead a relatively small *section* in Cheney's main article.

I was randomly curious to see how much 'negative' material Wikipedia has on politicians -- if any. There is some, but it looks like the Wikipedia authors are careful in the wording. They always ascribe the negative comment to a particular source as opposed to making it sound like the 'opinion' of the Wikipedia author.

An article in Rolling Stone said, "Having turned Ford into their instrument, Rumsfeld and Cheney staged a palace coup.

Rumsfeld was named secretary of defense, and Cheney became chief of staff to the president."[6]

Quoted: On February 9, 2006, The National Journal reported that Libby had said before a grand jury that his superiors, including Dick Cheney, had authorized him to disclose classified information to the press regarding Iraq's weapons intelligence.[33] Many people believe that Cheney ordered Libby to expose Plame as a CIA agent to punish her husband for questioning the validity of White House memos asserting that Saddam Hussein sought large amounts of uranium from Niger.[citation needed]

Wikipedia is amazing. The entry for Dick Clark already mentions his Emmy appearance from TODAY!

Quoted: With his looks OK but some speech ability still impaired, Clark made a dramatic return to his New Year's show on December 31, 2005, and appeared at the Emmy Awards on August 27, 2006.
