Tax Returns Prove Bush, Cheney Not Yet Richest Men On Earth
Friday, April 11th, 2008
Presidents and vice presidents file tax returns — they’re just like us! George and Laura Bush filed and guess how much they made in 2007? Just shy of a million! That’s not really so much money. Dick and Lynne Cheney easily beat the fake president’s adjusted gross income of $923,807. But by how much? MORE »

Obama: “‘I’ve Got All Kinds of Rogues in My Background”
Friday, October 19th, 2007
Barry Hussein went on The Tonight Show Wednesday (takes us a couple days, what is news anyway etc etc) only to have journalistic wunderkind Jay Leno question him about his black Nigerian Uncle Dick Cheney. Barry obviously doesn’t value family or black unity much and joked about the recent familial revelations: “How about that? Yeah. Not kissing cousins…. I’ve got all kinds of rogues in my background, you know. You’re always hoping for, you know, kings and great leaders.” What a dingus! Who talks about their black Nigerian Uncle Cheney like that?

DICK CHENEY IS BLACK!
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007
Lynne Cheney was on MSNBC this afternoon promoting some new book or clothes line or being weird or something; ANYWAY, in talking about the research she did for whatever she did, she drops this cataclysmic, earth-shaking humor bomb of drastic ethnic implications (via ThinkProgress, which has video!):
One of the things I discovered was that Dick and Barack Obama are eighth cousins. Is that an amazing thing? If you go back eight generations, we have a common ancestor.
That is amazing, Lynne! So does this mean Dick Cheney is an octoroon or a hexadecaroon?? (Yeah, it’s probably Obama’s white side, but that’s unimportant right now.)

Lynne Cheney Tells Some
Monday, October 8th, 2007
Lynne Cheney is celebrating the end of her successful tour of duty as America’s Second-Most-Loathed Cheney by writing a memoir. So she’s hitting the tv circuit and telling charming stories about her whirlwind high school romance with Vice President Ernst “Dick” Blofeld. He dumped her for a cheerleader in senior year! Then Lynne’s grandma bought her a “black lace sheath dress” which apparently convinced Dick that this one would put out so he went back to her and then they got married and went on to the destroy the nation for forty years. Lynne also wants to dispel some rumors! MORE »

Who Wants to be a Senator?
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007
The sudden death of Senator Craig Thomas means great opportunities for you, if you’re a Republican who lives in Wyoming. You could be the next Senator from our country’s least populous state, thus living out your dream of having a ridiculously disproportionate amount of power in an ostensibly representative democracy!
The Wyoming GOP has actually posted an application for the job on their website, which means they’re about a week away from looking on craigslist (or Wonkette Jobs!), depending on how this turns out.
We actually got our hands on one of the applications, and we’ve posted it for your edification, after the jump.

Wyoming, Meet Your New Senator … Lynne Cheney!
Tuesday, June 5th, 2007
The Cheneys and the Clintons are so much alike, it’s crazy. Just like Bill Clinton was president and then Hillary Clinton became a senator, now Lynne Cheney is going to be appointed senator while her husband is president. It’s crazy, the way these things happen. MORE »

Wonk’d: Irrelevancy Interrupted
Friday, March 2nd, 2007
This week’s Wonk’d features everyone you love to hate: Tom Delay putting giant brown things in his mouth, Anne Coulter taking some good meat, Lynne Cheney staying safe under a brand new helmet, and Rick Santorum just being the whack otis he usually is. If you’d like a lighter mood for Friday afternoon, you’ll also get Howard Dean’s charming cab habit and Martin Sheen in DC for real and not just in your heart. All these lovely tidbits, plus a sign from God that Ralph Nader should probably hang up his wagging finger of shame.
