Dick Cheney Cripples Himself Packing Boxes

by Jim Newell  

Here’s left-wing liberal Keith Olbermann gleefully delivering the breaking news that Dick Cheney has somehow destroyed his entire body moving boxes into his new CIA-gazing home. Cheney’s so massively dead right now that he will have to attend tomorrow’s Inauguration in a wheelchair. There is nothing — NOTHING — funny about this. It is SERIOUS. [YouTube]

It was trying to lift that freezer full of Rummy that did it (either that or all the remainders of every book Lynne’s ever written). Srsly? In a wheelchair? Why not just say home and watch it on teevee…

Meanwhile, we find out that the mayor of Portland is sort of a perv. But in a free-trade shade-grown pervy kind of way. Also vegan.

(Please forgive if I posted a few letters of random asshattery above. Was trying to post something clever & lost control. Also, there is the drinking)

PS: You suck, Dick.

ManchuCandidate January 19, 2009 at 8:34 pm

Dr Evil or Darth Vader, my ass. More like Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the James Bond flick, For Your Eyes Only.

However, I do suggest that if they fly Dick in via chopper that they transport him like they did in the movie:

What you folks don’t realize is that Dick’s ride is no ordinary wheelchair…it got a fuckin’ laser turret on it.

hahah cheap basta*d hurts himself trying to save some money on moving expenses.
The cold outside tomorrow will finish him off.

Bruno January 19, 2009 at 8:37 pm

Surprising. I thought Rove had figured out how to prop him up, Weekend at Bernies style, for the last several years now. I always thought he was in the same clinic with Kim Jong Il in Havana.

Everett_dIRKSEN January 19, 2009 at 8:40 pm

Did he shoot anybody?

Is this thing working?

Scandalabra January 19, 2009 at 8:41 pm

Wheelchair? I want that fucker rolled out on a stretcher in a straight jacket and buttless chaps. Goodbye, dickwad. I think he should have to run the gauntlet to Helicopter 2 between boy scouts, power bottom twinks and senate pages with big hockers ready to spit as he ceremoniously passes. Hail to the chief, asshole! Oh…did I get a little testy?

Tommy Says Soooo January 19, 2009 at 8:41 pm

What a crap cover-up. Liz Glover has shaken off the mind control, sweetly smiled her way past the Secret Service (after all she’s the MEDIA, even Moonie types are especially waved through) and put her size nine steel toe pump up his arse to pay him back for the mind meld evil trickery. Does Liz have a solid alibi? Oh, yeahhhhhhhhhh, she was with some Korean brides…..what, no photo evidence from a video journo, eh?

For “boxes” read “coffins”. He was decorating his bedroom.

P.S. Cheney, you vile bastard, who never shouldered the BOXES that carried home the remains of the honest boys and girls you sent to war for you, the words of Elvis Costello:

And when they finally
Put you in the ground
I’ll stand on your grave and
Tramp. The. Dirt. Down.

them but I’m sure you have plenty.

Anyway. I just figured out who Michelle Obama has been reminding

Texan Bulldoggette January 19, 2009 at 9:12 pm

I think it’s just a ruse so Dick won’t have to stand when the band plays Hail to the [new] Chief or stand up & applaud after Barry’s oath-swearing or inauguration speech. I suspect W would have done the same thing if he’d thought of it first; I mean they can’t both be in a wheelchair!

When Stalin had his final stroke, everyone in the room looked at him lying unconscious on the couch, and looked at each other, and nobody did anything. Oh sure they moved plenty when he stirred briefly, but in the end, nobody called the doctor until they were sure he was dead.

Tomorrow ole Dick will roll out and Bro.Rick will step forward and lay hands upon him and call upon the power of Jebus to heal his Dick, and Dick will rise up and then fall on his ass. Jebus won’t heal him for havin teh gay daughter. And there will be a world-wide Amen. also.

Darehead January 19, 2009 at 9:55 pm

Now that Jill is sucking on her toes, let’s reflect on Lynne a bit.
That bitch fundie church-slut tried to show her heroism after 9/11 by getting all American educators to stop teaching frivolous courses on any kind of global or intercultural studies, and teach only “real” American history and values. Yes, that’s her legacy. Save some rope and shoes for her too.

GreenLoser5 January 19, 2009 at 9:58 pm

Well, just being honest here, I think Dick just has a no standing for blacks policy. I mean, why would he want to stand up for one of the staff?

Welshman January 19, 2009 at 10:06 pm

I swear that Cheney is morphing back into a Dalek before the Time Lord Obama strikes him down (and if you Yanks don’t get to see episodes of Dr Who, then your uncultured souls will just have to accept the perfection of the analogy. If you have seen it but think the analogy is crap, then you are even more uncultured)

I heard he hurt his back trying to un-jam a paper shredder. Those lousy defence contractors got him a 50 lb MIL spec shredder that can only handle 3 pages at a time (staples removed) without jamming. The shredder does do cross cut and then for security crosses those cuts.

Dick, just keep hitting the back and then foward buttons over and over until it clears, pulling on the paper just makes it worse.

[re=222511]Dildo Baggins[/re]: There ya go. That must be it. I was thinking maybe it was some stuff from his walk- in safe. But of course. That’s what he keeps there. His BDSM porn collection from Abu Ghraib and elsewhere. There may also be some sensitive Halliburton material in there. Gotta move that himself.

Dildo Baggins January 19, 2009 at 11:31 pm

This represents my final post–I am going into rehab first thing tomorrow. The Bush years were a massive waste of this nation’s energies and talents. Even those of us who tried to remain as far from the disaster as possible are much worse for the eight years lost. So, while I am eagerly awaiting midnight (I think power transfers to Obama even before the oath of office), I am also thinking what a fucking piece of loose stool was GW Bush. I am SO in favor of war crimes trials that it clouds my thinking of everything else. If that gob of bloody diaorhea is allowed to retire peacefully to Dallas (‘We assassinate libruls’) TX, then we are all the worse for it. Srsly.

[re=222611]zhubajie[/re]: I find it absolutely unbelievable that Dick Cheney was doing manual labor, too. You’d think he could’ve gotten Lynne (or Mary … or Heather Poe, with her buff linebacker build) to do it for him!

This story has a strong whiff — nay, stench! — of bullshit.

My theory: he injured himself playing with his S&M gear with some hooker. Poor hideous bloated sack of crap was probably trying to make himself feel better with some restraints and beatings, given and received.
