Why is Cheney's upper lip always cocked up? Does Cheney chew tobacco?

1. Cocked up?

Is that like man on dog?

[ComerPerro]

2. It's a sneer of utter contempt

[BrklynLiberal]

4. That's it. All evil men who have sold their souls to the devil do that.

5. he may be the devil!

if we can define "devil" as evil incarnate.

[Cleita]

3. People who lie all the time get a crooked mouth.

In Cheney's case it is so etched into his face, it's permanent.

6. It's for the reserve battery

Backup systems everywhere. Remember, if he has a complete power loss, he'll lose his files and have to boot up from the startup disc.

7. I've never heard the press speculate on this before, but . . .

He must have suffered some damage to his facial muscles or nerves at some point in his life -- maybe a mini-stroke one of the times he was on the table getting his heart (sic) started again.

8. Its like he is in on

some inside joke.....

scary thought

9. Remember what your mom used to say when you made a face?

"Don't make that face, it'll get stuck that way!" The Dick made that contemptuous sneer one time too many.

10. Years of constipation disfigured the man's face. Urrrrg, urrrrg.....whew.

:hurts:

11. Do you think its easy being a shapeshifting lizard?

I have to agree that it is not pathological (in the physical sense) -- it is a sneer. His face froze into this mask after decades of contempt for democracy and decency.

The Mouth of Sauron kinda looks like him -- maybe Cheney was the model for this makeup in LOTR.


Cheney looks the way he does for the same reason the Mouth of Sauron looks the way he does.

Heil The Reptile!

13. Bwaa Haaaa Haaaa. Spittin image, chookie!

The 666 tattoo dried too quickly and is pulling chain chain chainey's
lip back.
