Dick Cheney Did Not Shed a Single Tear on 9/11

As the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 looms, many of us are remembering the intense emotions we felt on that day. The American Enterprise Institute hosted a talk with former Vice President Dick Cheney -- who's been promoting his controversial memoirs -- moderator Stephen Hayes talked about how President Bush nearly cried in public, Condoleezza Rice burst into tears at home, and Hayes himself "broke down crying." Did Cheney have his own tearful moment? No.

"Not really," Cheney said. The audience laughed. "You understand people will find that peculiar," Hayes said. Cheney says he was focused at the task at hand, like "what the targets might be and how we might go after him." Cheney says he'd been trained in "continuity of government" -- you know, like in case the president is shot -- so he was prepared.

1. More likely he giggled and laughed....

because he knew that 9/11 meant he could proceed to steal Iraq's oil.

2. It was the moment he had been waiting for

so with barely restrained glee, he took down from the planning shelf and dusted off the long-awaited Patriot Act.
BUH BYE to those *quaint* constitutional rights. After all, the constitution just a *gawd damn piece of paper*.

6. Tears require a heart

And Cheney didn't have a heart when he DID have a heart.

10. Dude, when he worked for Nixon....

...they planned and overplanned continuity of government and he probably saw the planes hit, got a chubby and then went into his "undisclosed location" and prayed for Bush to be killed. Can you imagine if Cheney had become President that day? He'd probably still be president and we'd all be forced to bow down to him at 7 AM every morning, before we go to work in the salt mines.
