How perfect is this? Cheney in wheelchair for inauguration.


Supposedly he hurt his back.

AP:

"White House press secretary Dana Perino said Cheney was helping to move into his new home outside Washington in McLean, Va., when he injured his back.

His doctor recommended that he needed a wheelchair for the next couple of days.
Perino said that Cheney is OK otherwise."

Yeah right, pulled muscle. Umm humm . . . Him and Addington doing it one final time on W.s desk.

13. Thoughts of going out in a blaze of glory?
I can see him having an Eastwoodian "Go ahead and make my day" moment.

3. Only perfect . . .
it he is in leg-irons and chained to his wheelchair.

Wheelchair first; prison cell after.

Enough of this "looking forward" nonsense. He and W should be held accountable.

No "Ken Lay, easy way out", either.

He hurt his back - like he was "moving boxes".

9. Did Dicky trip on a pretzel perhaps?
How appropriate that they bullshit us one more time. I can't think of anybody who will be missed less than Darth Cheney.

12. They've been calling on the sympathy vote for at least a year now, something about
this intelligent, strong, young man showing up and embarassing them.

Sorry Dick, you could be in an iron lung, and we'd still want to see you on the dock at the Hague.

On edit:

It didn't work for Pinochet, it's certainly not going to work for you.
