I agree with a lot of what has been said here on neutral non-threatening terms.
He is VP, he realizes he's not the President and does not publically scrutinize Bush, though I'm sure he does behind closed doors. This is pivital that leadership does not scruitinize their upper level officials. Disagreeing is different than scrutinizing.
I think we should get less defensive about the gay marriage argument. A friend of mine was VERY against abortion until she had an accient. She was on both the pill and using condoms and still managed to get pregnant. So suddenly it wasnt just loose women who thought about it in her eyes. To have the child she would have had to drop her full scholarship to Notre Dame and ruin her bright future. Life changing events isnt taking the blindfolds off and see'ing the light, nor is it betraying what you once believed. It's taking a new perspective based on life events which are unique to every individual. Simplifying that is doing a disservice to the impact it truely has on a person.
