So what’s been going on with our greatest Vice President, Richard “Dick” Cheney, since we last spoke? Nothing much, just some new revelations about Cheney bein’ Cheney, hatin’ on the environment and such. In this latest news cycle, we have the tale of that time Cheney’s office once edited out six pages of the CDC director’s testimony to Congress regarding this: “CDC considers climate change a serious public health concern.” Silly egotistical CDC director. She’s obviously one of those people who gets pissed when her editors shake things up a bit — cutting commas, switching grafs, deleting major theses about climate change killing everyone, correcting split infinitives even if they do “sound” better. Any editor has dealt with these twits. We sympathize, Dick. [Washington Post]

I’m SO glad you posted this. There are no words to descrie how truly evil this man is.
Sorry, but when speaking of Cheney’s activities, anything less than blood drenched toddlers weeping over their mother’s bruised and battered corpse is practically philanthropy.
No snark available for this one. This guy is a pimple on the ass of the world. Take that back, he’s much, much worse.
I wish Dick Cheney would shoot Jonah Goldberg in the face.
I’m starting to think this man may not have our best interests in mind.
Dick edits the CDC, Bush edits TJ. Same old same old.
You forgot a few tags: “liar”, “dark lord”, “hideous”, “so?” and just plain ole’ “DICK”…
columnv: Only if he would then turn the gun on himself…
Wikipedia’s description of the abandonment of an oil well:
“When the well no longer produces or produces so poorly that it is a liability, it is abandoned. In this process, tubing is removed from the well and sections of well bore are filled with cement to isolate the flow path between gas and water zones from each other, as well as the surface. Completely filling the well bore with cement is costly and unnecessary. The surface around the wellhead is then excavated, and the wellhead and casing are cut off, a cap is welded in place and then buried.”
A decent metaphor for the end this prick’s life cycle, I think.
editing is a little low-key for Cheney himself, isn’t it? Shouldn’t he have had this woman killed, with her report, corrected in blood, stuffed in her decapitated head, and left on Barry’s doormat? At the very least, she should have been renditioned.
If only Dick would do the same thing for the Iraq War…
“I’m not interested in pointing fingers at any individual…”
By all means, please fucking do, you pussy. Say it: Dick Cheney’s office censored testimony by a CDc official. Come on! Say it, dammit…!
So, is big oil gonna take him back after he leaves office? Did he ever leave big oil? Whatevs.
…and issue a rule finding that greenhouse gases endanger public welfare. The White House has refused to open the e-mail making that finding, which Burnett sent over on Dec. 5, thereby leaving the recommendation in limbo.
What?! They don’t want to believe climate change has health impacts, so they refuse to open an email saying so?! Next are they going to cover their ears and stomp around the Oval Office, singing loudly to themselves? Are we dealing with frickin’ chilren here? Don’t ask. Christ, it’s going to be a long 195 days and 20 hours.
Barring heroic medical intervention, soon Dick will be DEAD. Then we will have a party and Beezelbub, Prince of Demons, will have a new Barbie to ass fuck.
Uncle Dickie has our interests in mind when he hides bad news from us.
He’s really a good guy who wants to spare us the torment and mental anguish over things like bad Iranians wanting to go to war with us. Or green-house gasses which will hurt us.
And so, I just want to say:“Thank you, you great big Dick.”
Cheney’s a puppeteer, indeed, but I much preferred his work when he billed himself as Waylon Flowers & Madam. The Bush puppet is really boring in comparison. Maybe Dick should get rid of Dana Perino and hire Bruce Vilanch.
SayItWithWookies: “Don’t answer” is what I obviously meant to say. I obviously need to stop at the frickin’ ABC store on the way home. Will a gallon of gin be enough? I better get two, just in case.
Ignorance is bliss. Cheney isn’t a deceptive, lying ol’ geezer. He just wants to spread bliss all over the world. He hates men like Al Gore and their “inconvenient truths” and their Nobel Prizes. Truth is not bliss.
Serolf Divad: … blood drenched toddlers …
I think that’s what Cheney calls an hors d’oeuvre.
It’s as if they really do think that as long as no one knows, things are ok. This might be kind of cute in children, but among adults, not so much. I’m starting to think though, that Cheney isn’t evil, he’s just senile. and like some crazy old coot who insists his property line extends two feet into the hedge, he won’t give up believing even when you have a survey done. he will always carry on about it. until he shoots you for “trespassing”.
I hate him, I hate his ass face!
Considering that I expected something along the lines of “Cheney sacrifices aged Nobel Prize winner to Ch’thulu during solar eclipse”, that was kinda pedestrian. The amazing idiocy of the ‘refusing to read the email’ part made up for it, though.
qwerty42: Are you saying that the one man in America who still believe Mohammad Atta met with an Iraqi intelligence chief in Prague before 9/11 is delusional? Why don’t we just strike that last comment? It’ll be so much better once it never happened.
qwerty42: And that’s what you get for crawlin’ around inside a hedge.
I believe an appropriate title for this piece would be “I got mine Jack.”
Air conditioning that is.
Q2: I was pruning the damn thing! and I planted it, he just doesn’t remember anymore! at least that’s what I’d say when the cops came, but I’ve probably been shot in the face and am on the way to ICU. and he’s carrying on about “I told him to stay off my property, I warned him about that!” crazy old fool.
SayItWithWookies: That is really the only way his actions make any sense at all. The fact he found underlings who could share his delusions is only an even sadder commentary on this administration. An assortment of nut jobs who would be hard-pressed in the real world, they have this happy paradise just for them - a sort of camelot for the incompetent, ignorant, venal authoritarians. Has anyone left this administration with their reputation intact, let alone enhanced? So we have a delusional old man as VP and a delusional middle-aged guy as prez. well, at least they can’t get to the nukes.
oh, wait …
Q2: You get shot in the face?
Cheney’s spokeswoman? Talk about a do-nothing government job.
shortsshortsshorts: Oh yeah. Seriously.
I just can’t wait for Kathleen Turner to play Dick Cheney in W II: The Return of the Bushes.
Good God! What happened to that comment, at least on Firefox? Thanks for the smiley, Q2. You fucked everything up. Just like Vice President Cheney.
Here it is again, because it was so fucking clever:
I just can’t wait for Kathleen Turner to play Dick Cheney in W II: The Return of the Bushes.
loquaciousmusic: NAY. America did not need to hear that comment. I CENSORED it ala DICK.
MoodProcessor: This guy is a pimple on the ass of the world. Take that back, he’s much, much worse.
A zit’s too transitory for the damage he’s done to our country. I’d characterize him as metastasized colon cancer.
Q2: CENSORSHIP OH NOEZ!!!! I’ll have Eddie Vedder at your front door in two hours!
loquaciousmusic: OH YES. Me and DICK. WE KNOW what Americans should, and should not hear. There is nothing wrong with your puter. Do not attempt to adjust your LCD display. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next FIVE FUCKIN’ MONTH, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear.
This is what I think of Dick Cheney.
In Cheney’s defense, once you edited out the sex scene, the six pages on global climate change really slowed the rest of the piece down.
