Dick Sighting

It never pays to get complacent when you’ve heard nothing about Dick Cheney for a while. The man, who is perhaps the least popular politician to Americans since the Nuremberg trials, still draws breath – sort of.

While Bush spends the last weekend before the US election cloistered away at Camp David, Cheney is planning to attend a “get out the vote” rally in Wyoming where McCain holds a 20-point lead. On election day itself, Cheney will be out shooting something – or someone – to death.

No word yet on whether the Dickster has agreed to hand over his book of spells to the Sorcerer’s Apprentice should McCain carry her to veepdom on Tuesday.

 

So, That’s Why this Dick Is Smiling!

So just what is that image in Dick Cheney’s sunglasses? He told Lynn he was off fishing. Just what sort of bait was he using anyway?

The debate rages whether the image is a sunbathing hottie or Cheney’s own hand. What do you think?

 

Just Dickin’ Around

 

Cheney to the American People – "Go F__k Yourselves"

He was born a Dick, he’s been a dick his whole life and a dick he remains. On the 5th anniversary of the Great American Fiasco, aka the Iraq War, Dick Cheney sat down for an interview and made clear just what he thinks of his “fellow Americans.” From the New York Times:

Martha Raddatz, chief White House correspondent for ABC News, sat down with Mr. Cheney in Amman, Jordan, one of several stops on a Middle East tour that includes Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Oman, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

After Ms. Raddatz asked about the economy — which he said was in “a rough patch,” not a recession — the subject turned to the deep unpopularity of the Iraq war. Here’s a transcript of the exchange, released by the network:

Raddatz: Two-third of Americans say it’s not worth fighting.

Cheney: So?

Raddatz: So? You don’t care what the American people think?

Cheney: No. I think you cannot be blown off course by the fluctuations in the public opinion polls. There has, in fact, been fundamental change and transformation and improvement for the better. That’s a huge accomplishment.

You know, he might be right. Under Saddam, after all, the Iraqi people had to endure functioning hospitals and electricity and they didn’t even have any sewage flowing down the streets in front of their homes. There has been fundamental change.
