Cheney: If Democrats can lead, then I can sing

[Ernesto]

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday rejected charges by Democrats that the Bush administration was mishandling Iraq and said: "If they are competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on American Idol."
Referring to a notoriously acerbic judge on the American Idol television talent contest, Miranda said, "Simon Cowell is more loved than this administration and its failed Iraq policy. Cheney wouldn't last long on American Idol."

1. Step up, Dick!

Fox is waiting for you!:rofl:

[saigon68]

33. He'd jump in a pond and Fuck Fish if some one paid him enough $$$$$$$$$

He is a creepy diseased war criminal and Murderer of small innocent children

[fooj]

36. BWAHAHAHA!

Peace.

[wake.up.america]

55. I am very angry!!!!! The country is in an absolute mess and he says this

His definition of "leading" is warped.

Take the sound of him mumbling about Republican leadership with film clips of Iraq, Katrina, charts depicting the rising deficit, etc. and you have a wonderful campaign film.

[wake.up.america]

72. I am still angry!!!! Politics is politics, but this man is an idiot.

[JuniperLea]

2. Hell yeah! William Hung is so last year

Go for it DickHead!

[truthisfreedom]

3. what a nutjob. shoots his friend in the face and dares to insult Democrats

(or try, but makes himself look like an idiot in the process.)

[Redstone]

4. Then he ought to bite me, too. The arrogant son of a bitch.

Redstone

[RubyDuby in GA]

5. Is he taking requests? I haven't heard Let the Eagles Soar

in a while.

No, no, no - I want to hear FREEBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!

[electropop]

6. I'd rather see him singing than vice-presidenting.

He'd be no worse than the usual drivel on that show.

Of course, what I'd really like to see is his cellmate pulling down Dick's orange jumpsuit and making him squeal like a pig.

[Ernesto]

12. Perhaps he will "sing" if the Dems ever get supena power! n-t

[wtmusic]

7. Always answer with "5 deferments"

let's hear a snappy comeback for that, Dick.

[emulatorloo]

11. or "Hey Dick, Where's Osama?" eom

[Cha]

8. Fuck you dick...ya think what you're

doing is "leading"? I laugh at your pathetic mumblings. Haha.. bush is in the toilet.

[agincourt]

9. Cheney should be nothing,

but a source of scorn and derision in the media. His credibility should be zero, the only time he should be quoted is expressly to make fun of him.

[Lisa]

10. quick, everyone! Let's suggest some suitable audition pieces for Dick!

How about a medley of selections from "Annie Get Your Gun" (with a nod to Ann Coulter)?

And of course, "Shotgun" (which I think was covered by the California Raisins).

[electropop]

16. I shot the sheriff?

Hey Joe (where you goin' with that gun in your hand)?
Four dead in Ohio?
Theme from "The Beverly Hillbillies" (story 'bout a man named Jed who went out huntin' and shot some oil instead)

[Lefty48197]

23. BANG BANG - I shot you dead...

I think Cher sang it.

[Lefty48197]

24. Happiness is a warm gun?

Hey, he's the one that brought it up right?

[Mad_Dem_X]

78. I second that one!

Now I have that song stuck in my head. LOL

[daleo]

41. Hey bird-dog stay away from my quail...

Hey bird-dog you're on the wrong trail...

[wickerwoman]

43. Cheney's Got a Gun

duh, duh, duh

Everybody run...

[BiggJawn]

48. "I Bang!"

Don't have to worry about Paula Abdul fucking him, I think...

[wordpix2]

58. Chain of Fools: "chain, chain, chain, chain, chain Cheney"

[remfan]

13. The Vice President of the United States

can go fuck himself.

I will live long enough to piss on your goddamn grave, Richard Cheney.

[Nostradammit]

38. That's what I'm living for!!!

Seriously ~

I'll probably have to stand in line for days, however...

[President Kerry]

42. i smell a business opportunity.

:rofl:

[Nostradammit]

45. Something like this?

Would you look at that line?

[flygal]

61. Dammit!!

:rofl:

[Mad_Dem_X]

77. My first laugh of the day!

Thank you! :spray:

[Frank Cannon]

50. Me too!

They better plan to put a rock garden over wherever that sick bastard's planted, because there's no way they'll be able to keep grass on it.

[wordpix2]

59. I'm hoping for the day when the feds will be auctioning off his personal

property---the mansions, rugs, furniture, etc.

We'll leave the cold Perrier in refrigerator for Lynne

[truth2power]

84. I think it would be really therapeutic

to piss on his grave when he finally kicks. You guys can do it, uh....surreptitiously. We females however.... :evilgrin:

[DearAbby]

14. Cue the orchestra please

Maybe Cheney can have the famous fat lady sing with him eh?

[rodeodance]

15. at first glace i thought good headline--but not so sure now. What a smack

down by Cheney--and by Reuters.

[951-Riverside]

17. I'll take him up on his bet

Unless he suffers from such a neological problem so specific that it prevents him from singing, he can sing thus we can lead.

YOU LOSE MR. VICE RESIDENT!

[TomClash]

18. Yeah he can sing American Idiot

[C_U_L8R]

19. He should be singing

in front of a Grand Jury.... UNDER OATH ...you fat ass

[wordpix2]

60. to Fitz!

[Catrina]

20. I bet he sings better than he leads ~

I agree, the only time he ought to be mentioned anymore is as an object of greed, corruption, cruelty, dishonesty and derision. I think that day is not too far off.

18%, and that was before he shot his friend in the face. How is his friend, btw? Has he gone to see him lately? And I wonder what his poll numbers are now?

Oh, and yes, I agree ~ five-deferment-Cheney thinks he can run a war!! That alone is deserving of derision! :rofl:

[existentialist]

74. that was my thought

far better that he be singing on American Idol than acting as Vice President.

[Platypus]

21. ...and if Cheney can do comedy...

...then pigs can fly. I'd suggest that he stick to his day job, but he sucks at that too. He's not even useful as mulch because he's too toxic.

[David Zephyr]

22. See Dick sing, see Dick hunt, see Dick lie

Who gives a shit what Dick Cheney, the most unpopular man in America, has to say.

Memo to Dick: No one is listening to you anymore.

[JerseygirlCT]

25. Wouldn't you love to see Clinton hand him some sheet music? nt

[JI7]

26. Cheney laughs and sings everytime he hears about more deaths

[sarcasmo]

27. The Propaganda for 08 has already started. That will be a new talking

Point. The only thing these Republicans are good at is smearing Democrats. Look at the swift boat liars campaign. Now the trick is to make the average Joe Faux news viewer think Democrats can't lead by having Darth Cheney make jokes on what else but Darth Cheney's news network, Faux news. Looks like the smearing has begun, first with the media now with the Democrats. Watch Rush and Sean Insanity start spewing this jargon.

[Zenlitened]

82. Yup. And notice the projection, as usual.

The Bushies havce COMPLETELY BUNGLED Iraq. That's not even an opinion, it's plain-to-see fact.

So what do cheney and the pukes do? The project their own shortcoming -- incompetence -- onto their opponents.

Where is a Democrat who can grab the microphone and call these people what they are: frauds and fools bent on dragging America down to destruction.

It's time (well past time, actually) to get the Dem war machine rolling, if there is such a thing left to us anymore. Stop making nice and start landing solid hits on these evil people.

Who's got what it takes? Who among the Democratic leadership has the courage and integrity to stand up and speak for us, to truly represent us?

:shrug:

[MGKrebs]

28. Well since it's the whole admin we're after,not just you, perhaps

you should form a fuckin' choir.

[Rex]

29. Dead Eye Dick seems to think it is funny that our country is falling apart

It's almost as if he shot a person in the face and didn't break a sweat over it.

[Marnieworld]

30. I know you are but what am I?

We call them incompetent because they clearly are and this is his response?

[Lexingtonian]

31. the Wyoming Canary....

We'd love to see you try, Dickie.

[classysassy]

70. The scat singer

and the Halliburton choir,singing "money honey"

[Mz Pip]

32. If Cheney can sing

then I can :puke:

Even if he can't sing, thinking of him and Chimp "leading" makes me :puke:

Mz Pip
:dem:

[CBHagman]

34. Yeah, and YOU'D KNOW ALL ABOUT WAR, Dick.

What with the five deferments and all. :eyes:

My, my, aren't the Chimperor and Snarlface aggressive these days! To little effect, I might add.

[HuffleClaw]

35. "...Bush told him, "Dick, I'm 38 percent in the polls...

...and you shot the only trial lawyer who supports me."

what a sad statement when they feel free to joke about a life-threatening incident. and this; "Some Democrats in Congress have decided the president is the enemy and the terrorist surveillance program is grounds for censuring the president," Cheney said, adding, "The American people have already made their decision. They agree with the president." two more outright lies.

[NIGHT TRIPPER]

37. if Cheney can shoot,lead,or speak, I'm a big arrogant fatass artery clog

[Jack Rabbit]

39. If Dick Cheney is honest, then he has a pretty face

Bumper sticker from CultureKitchen

[fshrink]

40. If democrats could lead, then I would Sing-Sing.

[neuvocat]

44. If democrats could lead he would be in jail.

There's something he should think about.

[malaise]

46. Does this fugger even

understand the level of incompetence overseen by Bush and himself.
When he reaches Gitmo, he will fucking sing.

[LynnTheDem]

47. "cakewalk"

"Iraq has in fact reconstituted their nuclear weapons"

"greeted as liberators...flowers..."

"last throes"

When's cheney the Dick appearing on American Idol?

[Nomen Tuum]

49. The Ballad of Dick Cheney

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named DICK
He's such a self-centered egotistical PRICK
And then one day he went shooting out of place
Blasted his hunting buddy in the face

COVER UP

MEDIA WHORING

FOX NEWS

Well the next thing you know the press covered up for DICK
said it ain't dick's fault, his pal was just a HICK
they said his pal was just a masochist
and DIck went back to living at the RITZ

POT OF DECAF

4 CANS DIET SPRITE

68 DEGREES...

[CBHagman]

52. Oh, somebody needs to record that!

:rofl:

[wordpix2]

62. my musician friend wrote similar lyrics to an old song from a TV Western

I'm gonna give him this one

[0007]

85. Sung to the tune of "Beautiful Dreamer" by dick chency

Born in a whore house
Raised like a slave.

Fucking & fighting
are all that I crave

Breaking out windows
and knocking down doors

Calling George Bush
a chicken shit whore.

[stepnw1f]

51. Start Dancing Dick

and try not to have a heart attack....

[BlueManDude]

53. 1993 to 2001. n/t

[goforit]

54. Well since cheney only has 17% popularity his statement is a good sign

[Uncle Joe]

56. As long as he is not shooting on American Idol, I don't care. n/t

[NoodleyAppendage]

57. "Let the eagle soar...like it's never soared before..." Sing it, BITCH.

That fat fuck better start humming a few bars of something soon. I'm pretty sure his black, dead heart is not long for this world.

[Patchuli]

73. Wasn't that Ashcroft that sang that mess? nt

[fob]

63. I'm an American, cheney's a fucking asshole.

nt

[Roland99]

64. And he can sing Denis Leary's "I'm an Asshole"

[robertarctor]

65. Any idiot can lead lemmings over a cliff

It takes a real leader (something Snarly Whiplash is not) to find a better course.

And Snarly should go on American Idol. He'd do a better job there than he's done as Shadow President. Even though Simon Cowell would give him the bum's rush.

[banana republican]

66. Does he know the words to "Spandau Prison on my mind????" n/t

[MODemocrat]

67. Cheney can't even shoot straight, never mind being a Leader

Really, does Dick ever do anything at all for this country? All I ever hear of him doing is going to his next political rally looking for handouts from all his rich "friends." He's such a drag on all of the taxpayers, he needs to be ashamed of himself for sponging off us. What the world is going on with him; isn't he wealthy enough yet; after all he has to be receiving a handsome amount from all these
non-bid contracts with Haliburton.

A leader?, hell No he's not even close. He's worthless :puke: :freak: :thumbsdown: :spray:

[Raine]

68. "Fat lady" Deadeye Dick better get ready

to sing cause it's just about over for his misadministration. x(

[mvd]

69. Well then, he should be singing on American Idol

Because we sure are a lot more competent than he and *!

[American liberal]

71. Hey Cheney, go Cheney yourself n/t

[PVK]

75. Well, hell, Dick I thought they were just a few "dead enders".

So what's the problem big boy?

[truthisfreedom]

76. Mafioso Cheney to Sing!

headline of the century.

79. Cheney to Appear on American Idol

By Chris Durang

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) -- U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday rejected charges by Democrats that the Bush administration was mishandling Iraq and said: "If they are competent to fight this war, then I ought to be singing on American Idol."


. . .
And so, for a low three figure deal, I agreed to adjust the song "My Way" for the Vice President to sing on American Idol. Here it is:

And now, the end is near
The army's fine, there's no depletion
Iraq, I'll say it clear --
Heck of a job, we're near completion,

We've brought democracy
We shrug off bombs along the highway
I'm Dick, my name is Dick
I did it my way

[WinkyDink]

81. LOVE IT! (Two Snaps Up!)

[BigDDem]

80. Dick is in his last throes

Who the fuck cares what he has to say.... Mr. 18% approval rating.

[MissMillie]

83. Does this mean he's taking requests?

I'd like to hear him do a version of the Divinyls "I Touch Myself" or even "Turning Japanese" (I forget who did that one)

[Zenlitened]

86. Projection Projection Projection:

"If they are competent to fight this war," Cheney sneers.

The republicans have shown for a FACT that they are not competent to fight this war. So... they go on the offensive by questioning the Dems' competence.

We've seen them use this technique a million times before. Will the American people fall for it again? Maybe... unless some Dems stand up and kick this damned evil right back down the repukes' throats.

Man, 2006 is going to be a watershed year... for our country, and our party. The results of the November elections will determine our fates for decades to come. Troubling times.

[Rocknrule]

87. "Bush fucks up everything he touches but at LEAST we don't have a Dem!"

:eyes:

It galls me when I hear people say this, like during the 2004 election, "Bush isn't perfect, but God help us if we get Kerry!" How much worse can you get than Bush?
