Why is Cheney always sleeping on the job.?

[sandrakae]

Does he wife have him up all night fucking or what?

[Avalux]

1. I think his health is failing.

He looks terrible; seems to have gained weight and has no color to his skin.

[madrchsod]

17. his heart can not last that much longer

with that weight gain. color is another sign he is in trouble .if his heart holds out until 2008 i would really be surprised.

[gilpo]

22. CorpGovActivist might speed that up a little, too!

Go CGA!

26. And who will Bush appoint as Cheney's Successor?

Remember under the 25th Amendment (adopted in 1967) set up the procedure to replace a Vice President when they is none (Either because of Death, resignation, impeachment or elevation to the Presidency). That procedure requires Bush to name the Successor who must be approved by BOTH HOUSES (Not just the Senate). If you were Bush and had to name a REPUBLICAN who MUST be Approved by the Majority of both the house and Senate (Both of whom as of January will be Democratic) who would you pick??

When Nixon had this problem he named the Minority Leader of the House (Ford). When Ford had this problem he Named a Liberal Republican Governor (Nelson Rockefeller). Think about it who would Bush pick knowing the pick MUST get a Majority of BOTH of the House of Representatives AND The US Senate? I can not See Hazlett being approved by the Democrats given how he ran the House. The Democrats will NOT approve of anyone who may run for President. At the same time the GOP has to at least support the person nominated (Thus Ford named Rockefeller but he was replaced on the 1976 GOP Ticket by Bob Dole). Who will a Lame duck President name? McCain? Bush's Brother Jeb? Who and will the Democrats approved the person named?

32. Luger, Alan Simpson, or some other Repub old fart statesman type???

[Bunny]

2. Ewww...that was a mental image I could do without.

:puke:

[hobbit709]

3. Trying to make the batteries last longer

So they only switch him on when they want him to sneer and say something insulting.

[lapfog_1]

9. come on,... my laptop can't take anymore!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Mythsaje]

4. He's not sleeping...

His batteries are running down and he needs a jump start to be re-animated.

[PCIntern]

5. Ruined my dinner you did...

then I started thinking...who's the babe with Lynne while he's watching?"

[Kelly Rupert]

6. His long-congealed black blood doesn't really flow.

He's comatose 23 hours of the day, with the other hour spent in pain and hatred.

[POAS]

7. They unplug him till they need him to say something stupid

[graywarrior]

8. OMG, that is so funny.

:rofl:

[davidwparker]

10. Guilt. Or, maybe that's me. I think if I'd done all the evil that he's done

then I couldn't sleep well at night either.

[pnwmom]

11. I didn't know he's been sleeping with Condi.

But now we have proof!

[Bucky]

12. They kinda remind me of the rat pack

No, I'm not suggesting Condolleezza is the Liza Minelli to Cheney's Sinatra

Rather, when I see this ratpack...



I think of this...

That's Cheney over on the left

Buzzed out and sleeping on the job.

But I wanna be fair here. When my dad had his heart attack, a lot of the heart meds he was taking made him drowsy. We can maybe assign some of that to Cheney's snooze-a-riffic tendencies. But of course people on heart medications are told to take it easy, live low-stress lives, and get plenty of sleep at night (sleeping at the office isn't going to give you the same quality of rest and recuperation. With all the stress Cheney is living under (imagine how pissed off at him all his buddies at Texaco and BP and Northrup are!), the work he's doing in the government is probably going to put him into an early grave. In fact, his job performance seems to be putting a lot of people into early graves.

21. The other rats are kind of cute though...cept maybe that freaky albino one.

I've been around rats, gerbils and hamsters a lot....rats are very social, very friendly, very smart creatures.

All things the bush crowd are decidedly NOT.

27. " My God Willard, look at all the rats!"

[karlrschneider]

13. It's a year-end at Bernies!

...

[MazeRat7]

14. Vampires only work at night....

unfortunately for uncle Dick, the rest of the DC world likes to get things done during the "daylight" hours.

[Frustratedlady]

15. I'll bet he's busy until the early hours of the morning,

shredding papers. So much to do...so little time.

[TAPat]

16. Not sleeping...

*thinking* deeply. ;)

You know, I do alot of deep thinking myself - especially after a large meal.

[Cleita]

18. Because he's a cyborg and his electronic parts have to

have down time to get reoiled and recalibrated.

I kid. I think he's too old and too sick for the job. Time to send him into early retirement IMHO. Poppy can always replace him with Dan Quayle. Then the old gang will be back.

[ourbluenation]

34. CLEITA! My frigging diet coke just shot up thru my damn nose!

:rofl:

[MidwestTransplant]

19. He wakes up just long enough to snarl.

[lies and propaganda]

20. could not having a heart have anything to do with it?

[irislake]

23. Narcolepsy

[Geek_Girl]

24. My guess it has to do with his heart.

When grandmother's heart started to give out she was sleeping all the time. I doubt that his circulation is all that good and I wouldn't be surprised if he needed to go on oxygen soon.

[Cleetus]

25. senile old fuck

senile old fuck should be playing shuffleboard in Florida

[Bad Penny]

28. Was there ever a greater Bond Villain than Cheney?

?

[Orsino]

29. He doesn't *have* to work hard...

...when a tame press and pet Congressmen let him have his way 24/7.

[Alexander]

30. Wearing the same yellow tie all the time must put him to sleep.

Reminds me of Bush's plaid blue shirt that he's always wearing whenever he wants to give the appearance of "working hard".

[SoCalDem]

31. Looks more like Ariel Sharon ever day to me...

Seriously?

His "kind" do their "work" at night..

vampires
werewolves
stranglers
etc
etc

[Monk06]

33. You mean like this ??????

[ourbluenation]

35. HA! Very Monty Python-esque...or Gilliam-esque I should say...

:)
