Vice President Dick Cheney said today that in an effort to pump up the White House’s anemic approval ratings he would remain above ground for an entire month and would not return to his secure, undisclosed location until November.
The vice president, who emerged from his underground lair two weeks ago for a series of high-profile photo opportunities, made the surprising announcement at a press briefing in the White House.
But according to Dr. Lars Krenzel, a scientist who studies the habitats and migration patterns of vice presidents for the University of Minnesota, Dick Cheney’s extended visit to the earth’s surface means “a journey into the unknown.”
“There is no way of predicting how Dick Cheney will respond to the earth’s atmosphere,” said Dr. Krenzel. “One thing is certain, however: whether he is above ground or below ground, his Halliburton stock will continue to rise.”
