1. Temporarily disconnected from the Borg?

[Disturbed]

13. Just like his Sock Puppet, Shrub, Cheney lies about...

everything.

Impeach him first!

[beam me up scottie]

2. Did anyone check his pulse?

How long has he been dead?

[marmar]

3. That demon is sleeping...

Probably dreaming of nuclear bombs raining down and killing millions. :evilfrown:

[pacalo]

4. His notes are written in code on his tie.

[oasis]

60. lol

:rofl:

[Imagevision]

69. Guranteed he's history after November elections - enter Condi

[saltpoint]

5. "And now, here's Dick Cheney for Sominex."

[napi21]

6. Awe comeon, he was just resting his eyes! n/t

[goclark]

7. And fat meat ain't greasy!

[bluethruandthru]

8. Then why is that drool coming out of his mouth?

Hah!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

14. That's not drool; it's battery acid.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. Check the warranty card on that Die-Hard, Dickie.

[uppityperson]

9. Great photograph, caught him mid-blink!!

:sarcasm:

[rzemanfl]

10. These asshats are such an embarassment before the World. n/t

[beam me up scottie]

24. That's why,

in spite of how much I despise Bill Gates, I have to admit his reception of a foreign dignitary was first class.

As for these impostors, I'm surprised they managed to get Little Lord Pissypants out of his cowboy costume long enough to pose for pictures...

[Sydnie]

11. He wasn't sleeping

they were just rebooting him. :rofl:

[NYC Liberal]

18. He got a virus, they had to reinstall all his software

:rofl:

[spuddonna]

25. And upgrade the heat-seeking targeting mechanism...

It obviously failed during the tests they did on Mr. Whittington! :evilgrin:

[Botany]

41. Please sleeping looks like this

he was just looking @ the back of his eyelids.

[AirmensMom]

12. Yeah, right ...

:eyes: Looks like he's asleep to me. :shrug:

[rzemanfl]

15. Ever see Cheney "read" without glasses before???? n/t

[shanti]

44. exactly!

that was the first thing i noticed too.

[BuyingThyme]

16. Doesn't he need glasses to read?

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. Another reason why coffins should have lids that won't pop open

[truthpusher]

26. frickin' hilarious!!

[rurallib]

20. Think he wet his pants too.

How would you like to toady to this asshole? What a humiliation that would be.

[pretzel4gore]

21. he would lie despite photographic evidence?

i'm a nobody and i wouldn't do that!

[truthpusher]

28. I am not writing this right now....

....really...

[CrazyOrangeCat]

22. Unka Dick's dreamin' of killin' . . .

:evilfrown:

[spindrifter]

23. It was oxygen deprivation or

maybe he's testing the new nanotechnology: notes are inscribed on nano-motes that are applied to the eyeball before a meeting.

[tool_of_the_people]

27. Musta been a great speech....

[TheCowsCameHome]

30. Where was that pic taken - on Easter Island?

Looks like one of those Moai heads that dot the landscape.................

[TorchTheWitch]

43. Holy Cow! Condi fell asleep TOO!

I kid you not... I will not be at all surprised if they all stuck their bare asses out the Whitehouse windows mooning Hu to bid him farewell.

What the fuck is WRONG with these people????

[tool_of_the_people]

54. I'm guessing that you can....

only hear "My Pet Goat" just so many times before it gets pretty boring.

[Horse with no Name]

29. Don't believe your own eyes

Beleive what we tell you. Now there...isn't that easier?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

31. Jeez Louise...

He looks a million years old.

[AlCzervik]

32. i always write my notes on the inside of my eyelids with a sharpie

it's like notes immersion.

[Horse with no Name]

33. Photographic evidence--Look at pic in post #27

He is grasping a pen. In the OP he has relaxed his fingers and the pen has fallen out of his hand.
:rofl:

[Catherine Vincent]

34. He may not be sleeping but he sure is dozing off!

And I'm laughing at ABC's popups pics at the bottom of the Cheney pic!

[fairfaxvadem]

35. The guy is totally "chin to chest"....

This photo is just so hilarious I can't stop checking it out...

The "reboot" comments are totally cracking me up....


Unbelievable: Dick Cheney fell asleep during an official visit by China, er...or as the cartoon in the Wash Post had it, by our "repo man"!!!

If there ever were a time that the good Lord needed to bless America, now's about as good as it gets. How we survive the next 3 years without these two clowns getting us all killed is anyone's guess.

[sellitman]

36. Quick ...I want to have the 1st Starbucks franchise in the Oval Office?

:think:

[Botany]

37. Re post

Golden Slumbers
(John Lennon, Paul McCartney)
Lead Vocal: Paul McCartney

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Carry That Weight
Lennon/McCartney

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

I never give you my pillow
I only send you my invitation
And in the middle of the celebrations, I break down

Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time
Boy, you're gonna carry that weight
Carry that weight a long time

[Jack Rabbit]

38. So Cheney is a liar. What else is new?

!!

[shadowknows69]

39. Ummmm

Sleeping.

[Ecumenist]

40. Ooh, ooh I know..

He was praying to the demon he has a pact with. Either that or he passed out due to an short in his personal jumper cable.

[Swamp Rat]

42. He should've just said, "GO FUCK YOURSELF!"

[Marr]

45. Maybe he wasn't sleeping. It's possible.

It's also irrelevant. The interesting thing is that perceptions have changed so much. People think Cheney is incompetent, and so this picture was worth talking about. People also think he's a liar, so he might as well shut the fuck and just accept the mockery.

[smtpgirl]

46. What a TROLL

[Stephanie]

47. Exercise Subs

Exercise Subs

[yorkiemommie1]

48. Liar

how dumb does he think we are?

Next time they should station someone behind him w/ a huge pr of brass cymbals, lol!

edit to add second sentence.

[htuttle]

49. Too much Ambien, apparently

It's not candy, Dick.

[SammyWinstonJack]

65. Didn't Colin Powell say that all members of bush's cabinet was taking

ambien?

[smtpgirl]

50. Yeah, this administration had been sleeping for 6 years

GET them outta here


Fuck Losers

[burythehatchet]

51. He was NOT sleeping

His notes were written on the inside of his eyelids....for convenience.

[seabeyond]

52. not asleep my ASS.... that is bullshit to try and pass this off otherwise

the little picture, without glasses i couldnt tell. this picture, i can easily see without glasses

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

53. I'll agree with Cheney on this one.

He was clearly channelling his gout.

[glitch]

55. He always reads with his chin in his neck and his lips pursed in snore.

Or, he always lies.

[marbuc]

56. He is totally sleeping

no question about it. Leave it to Cheney to contradict visual evidence.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

57. As long as they can squelch the audio...

:rofl:

[Monk06]

67. He is totally sleeping. AND HEAR'S THE PROOF >>>>>>

[TheCowsCameHome]

71. Awesome. And welcome to DU!

[Imagevision]

58. He looks dead...

[sellitman]

59. On the bright side....

at least he wasn't able to shoot anyone in the face while a snoozed!

[Technowitch]

61. Everything he says is a lie

So why should this be any different?

[oasis]

62. At least he wasn't wearing his Green Bay Packers parka at this event.

:yourock: bigtime.

[lovuian]

63. Baaawaaahaaa!!!

up past his bedtime!!!

restless sleepless nights do that to you...

[goodboy]

64. Looks like there's some slobber on his tie.See the dark spot on the knot??

[lutefisk]

66. It's the meds, and the fact that he doesn't give a shit ...

...what anyone else thinks. He has a plan that doesn't require any input from anyone else. I think he must have written "the plan" out in the 7th grade, along with his drawings of Tommy Guns and nuclear bombs.

[Imagevision]

68. and you think this dork would take over if Bush was impeached

The only reason he's in the same room is because it's a big deal with HU being there, Cheney could never handle work on a daily basis.

[killbotfactory]

70. He was resting his eyes!!!!

When wil lyou liberals stop with your vicious lies!!@11

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

72. I saw the full size pic in yesterday's NY Post and he was sleeping!

No doubt!!!!



What are the odds that the photographer has lost his/her WH press pass?
