Never in my life have I smiled at a cough

[ChairmanAgnostic]

Until now. Darth Cheney is going on and on about how he saved the universe, and he began to cough. A rather deep, unstoppable cough.

And I smiled.

Is that wrong of me?

[maddezmom]

1. nope, I did the same thing

:evilgrin:

[DangerousRhythm]

2. ROFL!

You are not the only one...

[hlthe2b]

3. Darth Cheney is evidence that not all technological advances...

will be used for "good." That pacing device in his chest must be running on sheer "satanic" power.

[FVZA_Colonel]

34. That man is a god-damn Sith Lord.

If he'd been around in the 70's, I know Lucas would have used him as inspiration for Palpatine.

[monmouth]

4. The cough = divine intervention, or, a higher power is listening..lol....n/t

[ChairmanAgnostic]

5. The penny drops. He is providing his criminal defense

ahead of time.

My motives were pure! I did what was necessary. It was your your good!

[Mira]

6. I hoped he would expire right then and there N/T

[Optical.Catalyst]

36. I am kind of pulling for him to expire in jail

The end of Cheney comes while he is alone, in a locked, cold, concrete cell, in an undisclosed location under Leavenworth, Kansas.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. He sounds less and less energetic.

Almost never looking up. I wonder if he is prestroke?

[SusanaMontana41]

9. When Crashcart drops, be it today or later,

I'm dancing. Hope the deluge that follows sweeps the Bush cabal out to sea.

[Arugula Latte]

17. I keep wondering what is going to happen to DU when Cheney croaks.

Normally, when a prominent rightwing evildoer dies, we have the traditional "Death Flame War" where people divide into the "don't speak badly about the dead" and the "good, I'm glad the MFer is gone" camps. I can't imagine we'd have too many in the former camp when Dick bites it. I mean, who will mourn Charles Manson? Cheney was responsible for tens of thousands more deaths and maimings than Manson was.

[ArbustoBuster]

39. Can I reserve a nonsmoking table in the "glad the bastard is gone" section please?

I promise I won't sing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, good bye" loud enough to bother the other tables.

[Arugula Latte]

42. You got it.

Your confirmation number is 666EVIL.

[JayMusgrove]

8. Cheney is digging a deep deep hole for the Republicans

and I think Fox News wrote his speech.

Or maybe Rush Limbaugh.

[Graybeard]

10. Could it be this swine has the flu?

Wasn't it the advise to stay home if you are coughing or have other symptoms? Go back into your hole and stop spreading your contagion.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

11. let's deal with this analytically

First, he is a swine, although some of the species bovine might object.
Second, he is sick. Sure, it starts with mental illness, but it remains an illness.
Third, his speech flew the coup of logic and rationality.

So, yeah, swine flu it is.

[SusanaMontana41]

13. Not really fair

to swine to compare them to this monster ...

:evilgrin:

[Cha]

16. Or just a

swine.

[mantis49]

25. I'm hoping it's a sign of exacerbation of

Congestive Heart Failure that won't respond to treatment. Fatal only to Darth.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. So, three, perhaps three and a half sets of coughs?

Towards the end, he rarely looked up. His voice wavered a few times, more towards the end. His make-up was good. It hid his serious pallor.

[Turborama]

14. He seemed to get redder and redder

or was that just me....?

[Cha]

15. So the old hack was

hacking his head off?

[shaniqua6392]

18. I wished he would have a stroke and be paralyzed for life.

He would just lay there and not be able to speak or spend any of the money he ripped off with his Halliburton buddies. I want him to wear a diaper and drool. Is that wrong of me?? I don't think you should worry about smiling at his cough. I think I have you beat. :evilgrin:

[Seedersandleechers]

23. ah, then us tax payers will be paying the bill for his care.

Maybe just a slow ride in an ambulance will do.

[Holly_Hobby]

19. Congestive heart failure n/t

[flpoljunkie]

20. Is the heavy, labored breathing due to his heart problems? It's creepy, to say the least.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

21. watch him go to hospital in an undisclosed location

sometime this week.

[dgibby]

Either that or he really IS Darth Vader!

The wheezing, shortness of breath, cough are all symptoms of congestive heart failure.

[donco6]

26. My first thought, too. Fluid buildup in lungs. n/t

[gauguin57]

22. Hey, I've got my voodoo doll out today ... I'll see your laugh-at-cough and raise you some pins

in the face!

[pipi_k]

28. For those who don't have one...

here's a virtual voodoo doll

http://www.virtual-design.com/demos/voodoodoll/voodoo.asp?section=demo&subsection=voodoo

turn the sound on

have fun with pins, knives, and burning torches


:7

[otohara]

24. Why Won't He Just Die

and put a grateful nation out of it's misery.

[pipi_k]

27. I just keep hoping he gets tinier and tinier

like the incredible shrinking man in the movie.

Then he is crushed by a water molecule.



How's that for waterboarding, Dickless??!!!!!


:evilgrin:

[indimuse]

38. LOL!

HA! thx...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Well said...

K&R

[ChairmanAgnostic]

30. just saw some coverage of the "coughs"

and a period where he refused to look up at his audience. This man was suffering up there.

just not enough.

Imagine that SOB lecturing us about "values" and contrived anguish. That SOB.

[WhiteTara]

31. I'll bet the bleeding around the eye

gave a slight inner smile as well. I'm afraid he will die before justice though. No matter, he will have to stand before his god at some point.

[grasswire]

40. the result of anti-clot therapy?

I believe a bleed like that can result from anti-clot therapy in people with ischemic heart disease.

I'll bet a superior diagnostician could tell us a lot just by looking at that photo.

Many people have noted his pallor, his rosy cheeks, his cough as related to congestive heart failure. Now we have a clue about his treatment.

[WhiteTara]

41. Does it hurt?

:hands folded in prayer with fingers crossed:

[Hieronymus]

32. It's heart failure ... he makes me crazy listening to his gasping and coughing.

[Hepburn]

33. You only smiled?

I fucking rooted for the cough and had the video recorder ready ~~ just in case!

:evilgrin:

[Jim Lane]

35. I hope he stays alive so as to be served with subpoenas.

Multiple subpoenas.

He doesn't show? Jailed for contempt.

He shows and lies? Jailed for perjury.

He shows and tells the truth? Jailed for multiple crimes, but (ooh, am I gonna flamed for this) with some leniency in sentencing if he helped the DoJ convict Shrub and some of their henchmen.

[cooolandrew]

37. Than fully President Obama made his case made simultaneously, people can contrast the views.

Totally unreal that Cheney sees a future of further torture/enhanced intrrogation . It's even more shocking how he talked in terms as though he still ran the US, his megalomania is stunning.
