Beware of the big dick

While I'd love to find out the status of his pacemaker, I'd like to naively propose the following question:

Why isn't Cheney the front-runner for president on the republican side? He is the vice-president isn't he?

Because he's old and does not want the job

well, he's tainted by Bush, for one. for another, he's got all the personality and verve of a glass of tapwater.

So then, I have follow-up questions:

What good has he done for our country since he became vice-president and why did he become vice president anyway if he didn't want to eventually become president?

He'd carry exactly zero states outside of Wyoming and Texas.

i think its because being that nefarious requires that you stay just half a step out of the spot light at all times.

i think he might have a shot at utah and illinois...not that it would make much of a difference.

As far as I'm concerned, Dick Cheney has been the POTUS since 2001.

Utah, yes. Illinois, not a chance in hell.

Regardless, it would be a bloodbath.

i think that's a pretty good description...i'm hoping its going to be anyway.

Um, why is there an assumption that becoming VP means that you expect to eventually run for the Presidency? Just because something is a tradition does not mean it will always be adhered to, nor should be.

because he can leave his underground bunker, much like osama.

Which I guess would mean that he's ineligible under the 22nd Amendment.


Oh Shit! That means Bush would be !!


** runs screaming into the street **

He lent gravitas to the ticket, and he was continuing his long established record of public service to the country.

Fixed for reality.

Did you know that it is theoretically possible to hack into some pacemakers now?

Although I'll bet Cheney's has some cutting-edge, military-grade encryption built in. However, his pacemaker may be quite old, so it is difficult to say.

Did I happen to mention that he's old, kinda like McCain?

Anyway. . . .

McCain is old but doesn't seem to have the CAD problems Cheney has. His problems seem related to skin cancer.

And quite possibly some senility.

because Darth Nefarious isn't on the same level as Palpatine. he's good, but not that good, so he took what he could get.

as for the good he's done... i got nothing.

He bought me an ice cream cone once many years ago. But he was a different man back then...

he either had not given in to the Dark Side fully, or he was planning well ahead even back then.

i see what you did there.
