There are a number of snarky questions that come to mind, but he likely won't respond in an interesting way. IMO you should work with a friend to draw something more interesting out. Your friend can ask him a question that subtly strokes his ego and makes him take a position. Something like: Do you feel that the US is more or less safe from terrorism since you served as Vice President of the United States, and why? Then you make him reiterate that stand he just took in the face of well-established facts and generally accepted ideas. As you won't be able to ask two questions, you'll need to work with someone else. If others ask questions between the two, reference your friend's question as a preface to yours.
