Cheney Speaks

Why does anyone really give a shit about this fuckwad has to say? It is time for him to be put away in an undisclosed location forevah-evah, like somewhere on a melting ice floe in Nunavut.

@rptrcub: Well, as a former vice president of the United States criticizing his immediate successors, you have to grant that Cheney has some standing to spew shit. I’m as much a critic as anyone of false media “fairness”, but I’ll let this one slide.

And really, it’s a pleasure to see the “terrorists hate our freedoms” line turn up again. This ain’t fall 2001, when critics of that line could be easily silenced.

With all that hardware in him, I’ll be that somewhere there’s a remote control with a mute button that would work on him.

Oh, and props for Gollum. I’m usually too lazy to do more than crop.

Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and waste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole two elections and their faith
And I was round when Al Gore
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Scalia
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around Washington
When I saw it was a time for a change
Let Enron brown out California
Tom Daschele screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Wore a pretend generals rank
When Iraqi Freedom raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your Main Stream Media
Fought for two decades
Over stupid labels they made
I shouted out,
Who hiked up oil prices?
When after all
It was just old me
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and waste
And I laid traps for ambassadors
Who get leaked before they reached Niger
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every Dem is a criminal
And all Republicans saints
As war is peace
Just call me Cheney
cause I don’t need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some fresh human blood, and some babies
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill shoot you in your face, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah
Oh yeah!
Tell me baby, whats my name
Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
Tell me baby, whats my name
I tell you one time, you’re to blame

@rptrcub:

Nobody really does, but, you know, 24-Hour news cyclea and all…

@ManchuCandidate: This one may be your best to date, absolutely terrific. Bravo!

@rptrcub: Nunavut? You been watching the NatGeo Bee?

@nojo: Really hit the ground running, didn’t he? Just imagine the sorry company he’d be keeping had he waited a few Friedman Units longer.

Is it correct to refer to him as ‘Vice President Cheney’? Is it correct to refer to Bill Clinton as ‘President’ Clinton? Or Eliot Spitzer as…. Never mind.

I thought we didn’t have titles in this republic. Is this recent, all this honorificality? Or is it a recent deviation from God’s intent?

@Benedick:

According to Emily Post, the only formal address the former President or Vice-President would get is “Honorable”, as in,”the honorable Mr. Gore”, like you would a judge.

I think we need to coin one for Cheney, though, since no-one could actually say “honorable” and “Dick Cheney” in the same sentence without stopping for gales of laughter in between. It’s just not efficient. May I propose “vermidicked”? “The Vermidicked Mr. Cheney” has a nice ring to it….

@Tommmcatt the Wet Sprocket: How about a appropriate suffix as well? “The Vermidicked Mr. Cheney swings from the gallows at the Hague after his conviction on war crimes charges”. Perhaps a little long, but we could abbreviate it.

@ManchuCandidate: This is all sorts of awesome, bravo sir. I actually hear Mick’s voice with full band backing him on this, and it works.

@homofascist: Perhaps a little long, but we could abbreviate it.: “Dick Cheney, unplugged at last.”

@ManchuCandidate: “Hoo Hoo!!”

@mellbell: I just know way too much (for a US-American) about Canada.

@homofascist:

Or maybe just “Swingin’ Dick Cheney”.

@Benedick: Emily Post aside, the courtesy as I’ve always understood it is that you get to keep your highest title upon retirement. But since the title isn’t hereditary, we need not fear Creeping Monarchism. Or creepy monarchs.

@Benedick: Which reminds me, one of my favorite West Wing moments is when Bartlet commands a subordinate, “You will address me as Sir or Mister President.”

Point being not that he’s going batshit crazy with megalomania, but rather that there are moments when Constitutional roles must be respected, and folks need to remember that the Oval Office is not a private playpen.

Why does this walking heart bypass/colostomy bag still have a security clearance?

@smapdi: Why does this walking heart bypass/colostomy bag still have a security clearance breathe?

There. fixed it.

@SanFranLefty: From your keyboard to god’s ears.
Amen.

@ManchuCandidate: BTW – one of your best yet.

“Dick” Cheney is amazingly appropriate. “Dick” not as his name, but as his title, America’s biggest prick.

@Promnight:

Hay Prommie…how’s it going? Hanging in there?

@Also sprach Tommmcatt: Got all the municipal health, fire, and CO approvals today, last one was 4:30 this afternoon, started cooking immediately, till 9 tonight, early morning tomorrow, and a vicious list to conquer, we open at noon. The sign guys put up our sign at 7 pm this evening.

Tired, so tired, going to bed, tomorrow, the day, please let them come, we built it, they just have to come in, and then it will be allright.

So fucking exhausted and exhilarated too.

Tired, sore,

@Promnight: We’ll be thinking of you tomorrow. Best of luck!

@Promnight: Buena suerte, and may you be cursed by an overload of visitors coming in for Memorial Day weekend.

@Promnight: So when do the “nice place, too bad if any thing happened to it” guys show up?

@redmanlaw: I thought that already happened with the “health department” dudes who made Prommie reconfigure the pipes and the envelopes?

I keeed, I keeed, with our Joisey stereotypes.

@ManchuCandidate: Well done, sir! That was awesome.

@Tommmcatt the Wet Sprocket:

Great t-shirt that would make.

@Jebediah:
I may have to cafe express it.
