It has to be asked. . .is Dick Cheney dead?

[wndycty]

Where the fuck is that poor excuse of a Vice President? When Al Gore is flying fucking planes into New Orleans to rescue families you would think the VP could at least fly to MS and check up on his fellow KKK members. Jeeze.

[beetbox]

1. He is fishing in Jackson, Wyoming n/t

[annabanana]

2. he just arranged for Halliburton to get the "clean up" contract

for New Orleans... He's had "other priorities" than being the VP for a bunch of whiney poor people....

[maine_raptor]

5. Could he be dead in the rubble?

Was he doing the deal in NO and couldn't get out?

[kliljedahl]

42. Oh. you dreamer you

[Kurt Remarque]

3. on the phone with haliburton

[Libby2]

4. With any luck at all.

[unhappycamper]

6. Naaaaah. He's at the re-animation clinic again. n/t

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

7. Wouldn't bother me that much.

Mebbe the energizer bunny gave up on the pacemaker.

"Bless his heart."

[IdaBriggs]

8. Vampires can't come out in the daylight. nt

[Catrina]

9. I don't know if this is true

or if the person I was talking to was joking, but someone told me that his wife, Lynn, said she doesn't want him to leave the house because of his heart. The most revealing part of that statement to me was that he might have a heart.

That's all the information I have heard about him since before this hurrricane struck. It's probably not true, but I asked, and that was the answer I got. No verification or links to provide, sorry.

[Spangle]

24. I had heard

that he was so sick right now that the don't know if he is coming or going. That is my discription of it. When the topic came up, it wasn't important, so I didn't make a big deal out of it.

I was yacking with my mother and she seen an interview with a Sen. or Congressman and Cheney was brought up. His response more or less indicated that Cheney really, really isn't avalible right now and might not ever be again.

Since it's days after she seen the interview, she doesn't remember who it was, what station, etc.

But the whole issue is crazy. Before Gore, VP's didn't do much. Cheney did take on more.. but look who his boss is. He kinda had to.

We all know that Cheney has major health issues and "checks out" at times to take care of it. Because of Nationa security, that stuff isn't always reported. If it was a different Presidentcy, it wouldn't be a big deal. But with this one, the whole world depends on Cheney to help Bush. Which makes it a major National Security issue. Just like we didn't know how bad Regean really was until well after the fact, we will not know about Cheney until everything is "clear."

[BQueen]

38. Charlie Rangel, iirc

to a NY paper not NYT, and I don't *think* it was the post, I didn't click thru, so I probably read a blurb on a blog...

[WiseButAngrySara]

56. I know B* has no brain, and relies on Cheney and KKKRove to make

whole sentences for him, but Cheney and Rove's 'help' in any form is a National Security issue in itself! The world could do without help from their ilk. I hope Cheney is sick, but he's been too busy strumming up business for Halliburton (now to clean up the messoGulfCoast as well as Messopotamia), who is once again being set up to profit BIG time on the deaths of innocents. ALSO. he's to be in Canada to inspect their oil reserves!

[Child_Of_Isis]

10. This is being asked almost hourly.

I saw a news flash on the tele saying someone was asking for his resignation because he was unable to perform. Not exact words but something to that effect. It was before Katrina. Cheney is dying.

[etherealtruth]

45. Of this I have NO doubt ...

If he were, in any way, capable of helping (even if just helping the "spin") the louse ridden Chimp, he would be out doing it right now

[yewberry]

11. Here he is:

http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ss/events/pl/031202cheney

Safe in DC with his pals.

[Lindsay]

12. Oh, gee, that's a relief.

NOT!

[Catshrink]

14. I swear I've seen that photo before...

Are you sure it isn't a file photo?

[VolcanoJen]

29. I'm pretty sure that's a file photo, too.

I, for one, would like proof that the VP is alive.

I'm starting to think he's laying in a hospital bed somewhere.

[yewberry]

34. I'm not sure of anything

But Yahoo claims that it's from today.

[Athame]

44. same pic of Cheney and Rove after Rove was on the hot seat

for indictments to come. At that time, Cheney had again not been seen, having been in the hospital in Colorado.

I would swear it was the same photo.

[maine_raptor]

16. Sorry I don't believe it

Anybody check the DNA on that 'droid?

[Greylyn58]

27. You sure he's alive in that photo

looks like he was wheeled out of his cryo-tube and propped up for the photo op. Of course Dicky always looks a bit like Mr. Freeze anyway.

Too bad we can't shine a light on him and melt his ass away. :evilgrin:

[etherealtruth]

50. Are those file photo's ??????? n/t

The ones of Cheney, that is ... "something" isn't right (?)

edit to add: it appears many others had the same ?, before me and it seems to be answered ...

[NYC]

60. March 12, 2002?

Doesn't this part of the URL indicate the date?

http:/ / news. yahoo.com/photos/ss/events/pl/031202 cheney

I have put a few spaces to break up the link.

[yewberry]

65. Nah, it's not a date.

For example, here's a shot that we know had to have been taken in the past 2 days:

http://news.yahoo.com/photos/ss/events/pl/051302laurabush

[NYC]

67. Okay, thanks. News articles often have the date in the URL.

Thanks.

[skooooo]

13. You mean Frankendick?

Was he ever really alive?

[Don Claybrook]

15. It's a very endearing and precious thought, but I doubt it n/t

[elehhhhna]

17. A little good news would be so welcome this week...

[theHandpuppet]

20. LOL!! Thanks, I needed that!

Now if it were only true.

[Neecy]

18. you know....

I started a thread last week noting that something seemed amiss with Bunnyboy and wondered if Cheney wasn't pulling his strings behind the scenes, or selling him out in the hope he can (officially) take over the government. A coup, if you will.

Face it - if Cheney had been hands-on with this fiasco, it would have been run better. Instead, he's nowhere to be found and it's a complete fuckup. Deliberate? I think so. For the first time Bush has had to deal with a situation and he failed. The public is turning against him in droves. Impeachment is no longer a forbidden word. Cheney isn't dumb, he stayed out of this on purpose.

Just speculatin'.

[maine_raptor]

22. God help us all in that case Neecy

If Shrub ever gets sole control of this country, we'll be bankrupt, at war, and under the control of the fundies in no time. :sarcasm:

[BQueen]

40. or maybe the cause and effect is reversed

meaning, it's so f'ed up *because* dickie is unable to help. (which would also help explain Bunny's "deer in the headlights" demeanor) Maybe he was delaying in the hopes that Cheney would get better....
edit for spelling

[NYC]

63. We got the deer in the headlights for 9/11, too.

Cheney was around then.

[sundog]

19. i wish... but he is among the walking undead... he never dies

[Media_Lies_Daily]

21. He's planning the next "terrorist" attack. That's HARD WORK, you know.

[Bonhomme Richard]

23. Are you trying to cheer me up?

[readmylips]

25. Cheney is not the only fuck missing in action....

Where is Colin Powell, Oprah Winfrey? She's the wealthiest black woman on Earth. Afterall, she's from Alabama. I mean, Condoslezza Rice was shopping for shoes at New York's Bloomingdale, but already know she's not one of those blacks. She comes from high class and money and her shit doesn't stink either.

[wndycty]

36. So Oprah and Condi have the same responsibility. . .

. . .LOL you have to be kidding me. By the time this shit is over Oprah will most likely embarrass people with her generosity. LOL

[thethinker]

26. He is shopping for shoes with Condi

But I will pray for him.

[goclark]

28. The question keeps popping up but No Cheney in sight nt

[electron_blue]

30. HE's busily signing paperwork to give Haliburton all the $ to fix N.O.

He'll be back, count on it.

[kansasblue]

31. "Weekend at Berny's" comes to mind nt

[Glenda]

46. LOL!

:rofl:

[melody]

66. I just said that in another thread

There must be something to it.

We're going to see a lot of Karl dragging the Dead Dick around, I suppose.

His OTHER dead dick, I mean.

[FuzzySlippers]

32. According to this his last public appearance was on 8/18.

http://www.whitehouse.gov/vicepresident/

[Cleita]

33. Not to dance on anyone's grave, but if he is, then we don't

have to go to the trouble of impeaching him along with *.

[CTyankee]

37. Then we get Hastert

and after what he said about NO I am thinking we'll be in deep shit with him, too.

[Cleita]

48. Whatever we get it will be someone who realizes that they'd better

not fuck up or this could happen to them too. We just can't leave these other people in office anymore. Look at the damage they have done. Think of what they can do if they are allowed to finish their terms?

[libodem]

35. oooh you so got my hopes up!!!

thank you all for helping me hate him :) that guy makes my skin crawl and my stomach lurch every time I think of him I also have a lot of guilty conscious pangs because it feels 'wrong' to me to be so downright hateful and desirous of a slow painful death for that schmuck. I need therapy. Until I get to a good shrink, man, I'm just going to hate away. Plus if weaslepuke were dead I would be much more gung-ho about impeaching Bushwackedbanannabrainscumsuckingviperboy. No love lost there either.

[WiseButAngrySara]

57. Same here! Thanks for the confession. I didn't even hate Nixon, not

Reagan...no one until this cabal came to power. Cheney does make me physically ill. I can't listen to him without getting chills. And these symptoms started long before 9/11 or election 2004. The man is evil, IMMHO

edited for the following afterthought:

I never used the word evil, and quite frankly doubted its existence in human beings until this BFEE. Evil did not exist in my normal vocabulary!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

39. Out of your keyboard into God's ears

[maine_raptor]

41. FOR ONCE AND FOR ALL PEOPLE............

He's NOT dead, he's RESTING.

[Carni]

43. One can certainly hope

Then when bush is thrown out on his criminal ass we won't end up with *Dick*

[leftofthedial]

47. fishin accomplished

[SuniSurf]

49. Cheney is in Alberta Canada attending invitation-only meeting

There was a link to an article somewhere on the DU board last evening. Being new I don't have search priviledges yet, otherwise I would find it and link here.

Could someone else find it and copy it here?

[etherealtruth]

52. I firmly believe that if he were capable (medically) ....

"they" would have trotted him out long before now ... unless someone comes up with something other than a file photo i won't believe the man is not gravely ill (incapacitated).

[elare]

54. That isn't until Sept 8

[RevolutionStartsNow]

55. No, that's in about a week, here's a story on it

http://www.rabble.ca/news_full_story.shtml?x=41335

Says the meeting is on Oct. 8. And wait til you read what it's about.

[NYC]

64. Oil sands? Found it.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20050830/RREGULY30/TPNational/Canada

Let's connect the dots. U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow visited Alberta in July. Vice-President Dick Cheney is going in September. Meanwhile, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, headed by another Republican, Christopher Cox, may be on the verge of relaxing its oil reserve reporting requirements. If it does, the theoretical value of Alberta's oil sands will soar.

The Republicans are evidently falling in love with the oil sands, located right next door in friendly, OPEC-free Canada, complete with pipelines that cross the border. The question is whether the romance will be consummated by takeovers that would leave the oil sands industry largely in foreign hands.

[Joanne98]

51. He's doing business deals for NO contacts. CHA CHING!

[Southpaw Bookworm]

53. You do realize

That Halliburton and KBR have already been awarded contracts for the cleanup of the naval bases, don't you?

[WiseButAngrySara]

58. Are you serious? Links? This administration is so disgustingly

greedy and evil, I can't understand how they have even 1 supporter left. I simply can't understand it. I am ill.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

61. Every time I think we haven't seen him in so long that he must

be dead-he pops up alive and well.

[DoYouEverWonder]

62. He's not dead yet, Fred.
