Cheney has just traveled around the world by air--NBC's Andrea Mitchell diagramed his 65-hour, 23,000-mile route to Tokyo to Sydney to Oman to Kabul to London--but ABC's Timothy Johnson found it unimaginable that his traveling conditions resembled economy class in any way: "I suspect he was up an around and walking," Johnson told substitute anchor Elizabeth Vargas.
