Cheney says Biden hasn't asked for any VP advice.....thankfully
WASHINGTON – Joe Biden soon will succeed Dick Cheney as vice president. So does Cheney have any advice for Biden?

Not really, it seems.

Cheney says Biden hasn't asked for any advice.

Biden has called Cheney "the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history." Biden also has said he couldn't name a single good thing that Cheney had done.

Cheney says he strongly disagrees with the idea that he dangerously expanded the powers of the executive branch. Cheney also says he doesn't think Barack Obama will give Biden as consequential a role as Cheney has had under President George W. Bush.

Cheney spoke on "Fox News Sunday."http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081221/ap_on_go_pr_wh/cheney_biden

Like what would Biden ask him? Where the hidden tortured terrorists are at the Naval Observatory?

1. I doubt Joe Biden will need to know about the weasel clauses
that might help Cheney avoid prison.

4. Why should Vice-President Biden ask for or accept advice.....
...that would land him in prison and possibly face corporal punishment?

Oh, wait.....

6. Considering that the VP has no power vested by the Constitution...
w/the exception of casting a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, why should Biden even bother?

cheney has essentially violated the Constitution he swore to uphold, who would want any advice from a traitor?

cheney should take a hint from Judas Iscariot when he gets back to Wyoming.

7. More from the interview...
"Really," Cheney added, swirling a goblet of dark red wine. The Vice-President was sitting back in a ghastly throne constructed from bone, endangered animals and dried human skin. In the background a blazing fire roared like the screams of a thousand damned souls, fueled by the shattered fragments of broken dream being fed into it by two College Republicans chained to the floor. On the other side of the chamber, a crash team was attempting to bring life to Cheney's long-discarded heart. "At the very least, one would think he'd like to know how to keep the demons at bay."

"You mean the internal fears and trials associated with holding such a high office?" The reporter asked, trying to drawn herself into as small a bubble as possible. She started as a large rat brushed past her leg, bringing a slip of paper into Cheney's waiting hand.

"Thank you, Donald," Cheney picked up the rat and threw it into the fire. "No you fool, I mean the demons in the basement! A summoned horde of Gamosh-Ra have taken residence there, constantly demanding to feast upon the still-beating hearts of virgins! But if I give them any, I'll have none for myself!"

"I-I-I can see h-how that would be troubling..." The reporter shrieked as a massive python slide up the back of her chair.

"It is," Cheney nodded gravely, taking a moment to admire his collection of impaled kittens. "But is Joe going to ask me about any of it?" He sighed, shaking his head. "He's going to be in for a surprise when he opens the safe..."


:crazy:

10. You forgot to mention the python looked disturbingly like Lynn Cheney
Which is really why the journalist screamed. And what about that weird monkey morphlike thing sitting atop Cheney's shoulder that looks like George only with drool dripping off his yellow razor sharp pointy teeth and bloodshot eyes eying the kittens hungrily.

This was just a first draft ;)

On edit: Holy crap, this was my 1000th post.

9. What possible advice could Cheney give Biden about anything not criminal?
What an idiotic idea!
