Cheney makes clear he's only in office now to set things up for his return

[BurtWorm]

to private life:


If I elected, I will not serve



From the Take Your Joy Where You Can Get It Department: Asked Sunday by Fox's Chris Wallace whether he'll run for president in 2008, Dick Cheney said the answer was "not only no, but hell no." "I've got my plans laid out," the vice president said. "I'm going to serve this president for the next four years, and then I'm out of here."

1. And this makes you unhappy ...

How?

[BurtWorm]

5. It makes me unhappy in this way:

That he is in office at all. Thieving bastid!

2. serve any jail time.

3. His response should have been a terse,

"There's no money in it." That would have been closer to the truth. By the end of 4 more years, there won't be anything left to loot - might as well go home and live large on the blood of the stupid...

8. He's itching to get control over his Halliburton stock

Before the bottom falls out.

4. I told my boss that the other day...

"I'm only sticking around long enough to find another job." He was so pleased I got a raise.

Only a fucking guy like Cheney could say that and get away with it.

6. I hope there's no statue of limitations for war criminals for Cheney.

He deserves to spend the rest of his worthless life breaking big rocks into little rocks.

7. LMAO! Good one!

9. "I'm going to serve this president for the next four years..."

Those are the key words. -- Wouldn't want to get those pugs who supported (and still support) *, because they want to run in 2008 or figure "it's only four more years -- then we can change things", worried about the possibility of a popular, healthy incumbent VP (ie, not Cheney) running in 2008. (An incumbent VP is the odds-on favorite to win the nomination: Clinton/Gore, Reagan/Bush, etc.)

Rumbling in the ranks, maybe? Better strengthen that koolaid!

10. "I'm going to serve this president for the next four years..."

IT'S A COOKBOOK!
