Am now convinced Cheney is stroked out somewhere
The rumors of his demise or complete incapacitation make a lot more sense today then before. Where is he? Why hasn't Bush even mentioned him in his statements about anything let alone katrina.

Why isn't ANYONE in the media asking where he is?

1. In a secret meeting with Halliburton ...
... trying to figure out how to get all the no-bid contracts to rebuild New Orleans.

2. He's on vacation, remember he had to take time off to go to the King's
funeral in SA. He has at least a day or 2 left.

3. You bring up an important subject ...
In photo's, he looked extremely ill; one would think with the chimp requiring such long vacations due to all his "hard work" we would have seen and heard a lot from Cheney ...

4. I thought he stayed in the WH and ran the country.
sure looks like the country is falling apart. I do not think their is one person in charge in the South right now that could make any thing run on time.

5. They are replacing his cyborg parts
or reapplying his skin to keep his draconian insides from showing. He isn't gone he's just preparing to torture us some more.

6. The Partisans caught up with him.
He's strung up with his mistress in a little town near the German border.

Mussolini didn't make it to safety, either.

He may be making secret plans to flee the
country. All those visits to the CIA may be getting much attention.

8. Agreed.
It's not a trivial issue. We all remember Bush's snide jab about John Edwards last year: "Dick Cheney can be president".

Well, if ever there was a need to have the second-in-command on site in Washington directing things in a national emergency, the last two days have been it. It's a national security issue. IS there someone who can fill in for GW when he can't? Is Cheney capable of doing so right now, or not?

9. I think something's up, too. His been invisible since his Colorado
hospital visit, and he's completely invisble now. I've wondered if W's vacation was an excuse to explain Cheney being out of the picture.

There are rumors everyone has heard that Cheney's been too sick to do anything for a couple of months. They may be true. BushCo hides everything from the public. Plus, they don't want to bring a new VP into the mix if they can avoid it. Too much chance of him or her discovering something. And anyway, Rumsfield likes being the president.

10. Cheney was posing with Bushturd, Condi and Rummy at Crawford,
around August 10. He looked like death.

11. Personally, all jokes aside,
I think he's in a great deal of doo-doo.

That heart is not going to last that long.

14. Preparing for the next terroist
attack in the US, the one that will give them the go ahead to attack Iran?
This was bantered about quite a bit a week or so ago. Could this relate? Or could he be hiding out because information on his avid neocon and perhaps treasonous activites are being scrutinized?

17. He made a speech in MO on August 18th
That's the most recent Cheney appearance I've been able to find.

Apparently he is scheduled to go to Canada on September 8th. If he's still up and running, then he should have prepared a statement by now.

18. Because he is one of the most evil most wanted criminals.....
In the entire world, I wonder if Dick Cheney has been going in and out of the country making arrangements to flee.

I seriously wonder, this guy is insane, his "war with Iran" has fallen through the cracks again and his mechanical heart keeps having to be re-set.

So where is Cheney anyhow?

:shrug:

Anyone know or have any clue? Is he finally getting dragged before the jury, about to die or what? I mean, its like nobody is running the country 90% of the time. Scott Mclellan can't run the country.

For this reason alone, IMPEACH THEM ALL!
