Bet you thought he was going to say “Obama,” because Cheney actually owned Obama’s family, as slaves, in the 1800s. But it was great for Cheney to take a break from murdering innocent people with bombs all over the world to give this fun endorsement to fellow elderly war-crazed nutcase John McCain. The excitement is palpable. [Huffington Post]
Hmm. Is there a reason this was made on a Saturday? On a day we’re distracted by all the smoke detector battery and clock changin’? The day we’re all on a post-Haloween sugar jag (thanks kids!)?
Tomorrow’s McCain endorsements include Radovan Karodizc, Slobo Milosevic (from beyond the grave), Henry Kissinger, and the ghosts of Adolf Eichmann and Joseph Mengele. Leni Riefenstahl will be there to film it, and a choir of Iraqi and Rwandan orphans will sing.
Who? There’s a Vice President? This “Dick” Cheney fellow, now where’s he from?
smellyal8r: An undisclosed location.
…no snark, just drunk! Fukk you, you evil summama-bitch!
Why did the uttering of the name McCain cause him to hack up pacemaker parts?
Fly-over Correspondent: …hell?
How many people were at this event, four? I can’t even imagine how hard McCain tried to prevent this from happening.
And where else would a “Dick” go but to a “John”?
and wrapping up that crucial undead vote for our johnnie.
In other news, a fly has today endorsed cow turds. Said the noted member of the fly community, “I have no doubt that cow shite is good for America, good for the world.”
I like how he almost throws up immediately after endorsing.

Even more amusing was seeing Alan Simpson on stage. Or was it surprising since I thought he was dead? Or was it just … sad?
He shot me in the face… and it felt like a kiss.
I think Cheney just coughed up his last chunk of utter contempt for the American people.
This just in … Hieronymous Bosch as agreed to design the official McCain/Palin Whitehouse inauguration invitations.

AnnieGetYourFun: “He wants to what? Today? Well, do it in Wyoming where no one will see it…oh, right, the national news…”
ladymacbeth: I’d say it was more of a toss-up for that demographic after the Peruvians weighed in.

Please do not ban me, Miss Sara K. Smith.
Custerwolf: Oh no, there is plenty more where that came from. Plus, don’t forget he goes home to Lynne each night so if he is accidentally feeling “less hate filled”, she can replenish his bile.
Wow. This is bound to push McCain over the top.
Yellow Cake: Yes, if the top is 35 percent of the vote.
Does this mean they’re saving the Jefferson Davis endorsement for Sunday?
Up next: Ted Stevens holds a press conference in which he endorses McCain/Palin out of spite for them throwing him under the bus the other day.
Aquannissiwamissoo: HR Geiger is gonna be pissed he didn’t get the gig.
Do you think that they have wrinkled republican sex?

Wonderful! The kiss of death!
So when Cheney says McCain looked into the face of evil and didn’t flinch he
was talking about every time Cheney and McCain made loving eye contact, right?
Just to fuck with the bitters (very small, angry) minds: Ayers and Wright should hold a joint press conference on Monday and endorse McCain.
smellyal8r: You sure? I saw lesser Republipukes Dr. John Barrasso and Babs Cubin wannabe Cynthia Lummis, but where was Al? I live in Wyo., so I’m familiar with quite a few members of the Cowboy State Good Ol’ Boy Club.
he couldn’t just do us all a favor & shoot him in the face? way to stay true to his evil bastard reputation, he only shoots people in the face when it doesn’t do the rest of us any good.
HedonismBot: In the clip I saw, Cheney shook Simpson’s hand on the “stage” as he came to the mic. Maybe it was an Alan Simpson cardboard cutout (I don’t know how you’d tell the diff). On this clip, he’d be way to the viewer’s right (and out of camera range). Typical.
el_burrito: No, when he met Lynne Cheney.
Any Godfather kiss of death references already?
Hundreds? Nevermind.
So when does Cheney shoot McCain in the face?
Always there are two. A master and apprentice.
Okay, maybe there is a god.
There was some deal that McCain welched on to keep Cheney from endorsing him. He was making payments of unmarked bills, virgin supporters and defenseless woodland creatures to Cheney’s secret underground lair/undisclosed location. This late in the campaign, McCain is running out of money, virgins and chipmunks so he figures it’s too late for Cheney to do that much damage.
Seriously. How many votes was that endorsement worth? Minus 50,000? More? No wonder he waited until after Halloween to give it. Now maybe William Kristol will get on the Sunday talk shows and brag about how Dick Cheney, probably the most unpopular (dare I say “detested”) vp in history, endorsed John S. McWalnuts.
MISTAHCOUGHDROP: Fat Bill Kristol, with his Hah-vard edukashun (a PhD no less) still doesn’t get it. Jon Stewart gutted him like a fish and “Dr” Kristol just sat there with a stupid grin on his face. Amazing. I’m stupid and know better than to do that.
Cheney added that in Ohio McCain was welcomed as a liberator
Buffalodavid: Steady, there…
Wait, did I miss when they instituted an office of “Vice President Emeritus”? He must be applying for that.
The coughing fit after saying “McCain” was abs_perfect.
Also, DAMN that sign in front of his face after he mentions Palin!
I really wanted to see the snarl on his face as he reflected on Palin actually holding the same office he currently has, and how he strengthened the VP powers while he was in office. He can’t be happy with the prospect, and is probably aware that his endorsement actually helps Obama more than WALNUTS!…
Way to go, Dick.
hobgoblin of little minds: Thank you. win.
At this point any more dirty tricks the Rovians have up their sleeve should be treated this way. Add Rezzco, Khaleedi, the Boston Aunt. Whoever gets slimed: “I support McCain.”
wow. he certainly is an exciting fellow, that dick cheney. i thought i was watching dane cook there for a second, what with all the excitement and enthusiasm.
Actually, Obama doesn’t come from former slaves, but if he did, they would have been formerly owned by this Nosferatu-looking vampire, Dick. McCain has more black relatives than Obama - that is a fact, and Joe McCain hangs out with them - and they all still live near the former McCain plantation because John McCain has not freed them yet.
Cheney knows that in less than three months he can free up his Halliburton stock and start making billions off the war he talked Bush into. This is his last chance to scare the terrorists into causing another war he can profit from.
Surely, this is the last nail…
How could Cheney own anyone from the 1800’s? Even he wasn’t alive then. Besides Obama’s paternal family is from Kenya, they were the ones in the slave trade.
calynn: You don’t know who Nosferatu is do you?
Just after he endorsed, he coughed out the word, “Douchbag!” Listen again.
wow, Cheney looks awful, a mere shell of his former Darthness — I guess having a daily by-pass for 30 years will do that to a war criminal. Palin should finish him off and assume the mantle of Sith Lord (Lady?)
Wow, let me get this straight… So Cheney’s family owned Obama’s family back in slavery days. That means the Cheneys were slave owners in Kenya way back when. So that would mean that, GASP, the Cheney’s are a bunch of dirty islamist ARABS!!!! MY GOD, THE CONSPIRACY THEROISTS ARE RIGHT, IT’S ALL A MASSIVE PLOT!!!!!!
“he has looked in the face of evil and not flinched”= he had lunch once with Cheney and didn’t turn to dust (this was,in fact, what helped him get the nom and not Romney- no one has seen him lately so he must not have passed the “test”)
“he’s comfortable with responsibility”- McCain passed this test by bringing an undiscovered Amazon tribe to “undisclosed location” so Cheney could have new organs
Jeez even Cheney won’t come out and say Palin has executive experience.
bopumofu: Of course not. How would Cheney know about executive experience?
As you know, he’s not part of the executive branch himself, but constitutes a Fourth Branch of Government all by himself.
More or less valuable than Tyra Banks’s endorsement of Barack Obama? http://tinyurl.com/65stt2
i’m pretty sure he said “bullshit” after he coughs.
