    Got it. Just a matter if distinction.

    "I worked there for eight years as a third to Karl Rove."

    I knew it! That explains so much. I do have one question, though: Is Cheney really alive or are the clips we see of him computer-generated? P.S. Hope the Scottie didn't bite you.

    That "dog" (or, "squirrel," as we call him) did bite me and Cheney laughed, just before he tried to shoot me in the face. As for whether he's real or computer-generated, he frequently mumbled stuff about being a "Sith Lord." I would shrug that off, laugh, and call him Jar Jar Binks. That's when he'd load his shotgun and point it at my face. Thank God Cocktailhag would intervene and announce, "You cannot shoot Timothy Skywalker! He is the Chosen One, by which I mean, hey, don't shoot that guy!" Her recognition of my role in this universe was appealing to me, even if it was--shall we say?--wrong.
