18 percent approval. Wow. Just... wow. If he had feelings, I'm sure they'd be hurt by this.

UPDATE: I used to joke that Cheney was so disliked he was actually less popular than torture. I have been making this joke for so long, I actually had forgotten the numbers. (My memory being Libby-like in the first place.) Turns out saying that Dick Cheney is less popular than torture is like saying slugs are less popular than ice cream. Well, like a gross flavor of ice cream. I could only find a 2004 poll handy, but it says sixty-three percent of Americans say torture should never be used, leaving a tantalizing 37 percent who apparently are okay with it. Cheney wishes for 37 percent!

1. This was priceless:

"The corpse of Sadaam Hussein is more popular than Cheney."

2. That's awesome! k&r

3. I have begun calling him "Chee-nee"

ala Matthews. I yell it at the tv every time he materializes there.

4. His immediate family and loyal Halliburton cronies should come up to 18%

Lord Vader - the most hated individual in American history. :evilfrown:

5. what percentage of respondents can't even name the VP?

probably 5%.

still, 1 out of 5 americans APPROVE? have they been asleep? cowering in their bunkers?

6. But is Cheney less popular than slug-flavored ice cream?

Just asking whether he's less POPULAR. We all know that he's less appetizing and less healthy for us.

7. When Darth walks in a room...its like a mega FART ...everything immediately SMELLS BAD

The Man Is EVIL and selfserving....

2000 Bush goes and asks Darth to find a good VP Candidate....Darth comes back later to say...Why Not MEEEEEE? The asshole...picked himself?

8. Could it be 19%

then favor torturing Cheney in principle? I think more might want to make an exception so that the number who would favor torturing the Veep is surely larger than his popularity ratings.

I would settle for granting him exile on a remote South Pacific island with a a uniform one foot above sea level.

9. there is a resemblence...
