photo of cheney on his european tour (caution: major hypocrisy)

funded by American taxpayers, as OUR soldiers are KILLED every day...cheney, his wife, his daughter, asscroft, his wife...and many other members of the bush cabal...are TOURING EUROPE for a week, including the Swiss/Italian Alps, Rome, Vienna operas...and more


so, to justify this extremely expensive write-off to the taxpayers...here is what cheney did today...

4. acceptance speech
Don't forget, in his acceptance speech after getting nominated in 2000, one of Cheney's big lies was how moved he was by seeing the crosses of Arlington Nat'l Cemetary.... when Arlington does not have crosses. Maybe he was thinking of this one?

5. I luv Lynn's fur coat. It's just so, ... so, REPUBLICAN
And that flower looks like something he bought off street vendor sitting in front of the entrance to the cemetary. How classy.

8. This guy got it right
...said Paul Light, a vice-presidential scholar at the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at New York University. "Handling Dick Cheney is like handling nuclear material. It can be quite powerful, but it can be quite dangerous and has to be handled carefully."

NYT article from which pic came.

10. more cheney pics....even more scary....hitler-esque
Edited on Tue Jan-27-04 02:00 PM by amen1234

taking 5 deferments to skip out of Vietnam service, cheney told the press "I had other priorities"....









cheney (death-warmed-over) pins the bronze star on a REAL soldier



mrs. cheney SMILES BIG TIME, as she contemplates OUR DEAD SOLDIERS, and her taxpayer-funded European Vacation through the Swiss and Italian Alps, to Rome and other vacation locations...during time of war...
