Bush Describes “Cordial” Relations with Cheney

Former President George W. Bush had an awkward exchange when asked what his relationship was like with former Vice President Dick Cheney since leaving the White House, Politico reports.

Said Bush: “You know it’s been cordial — but he lives in Washington and we live in Dallas. One of the saddest things about departing Washington is that you miss your pals and a lot of people were there for all eight years and I became good friends with them, like Vice President Cheney.”

Bush, apparently feeling the need to say more, continued: “You know, I just I don’t see him — much. And I don’t see many of the people I worked with much and it’s kind of sad. It’s great to be in Texas, however.”
