[sabra]

There seemed to be some question the other day about Vice President Dick Cheney's involvement in the Republican National Convention in September -- with his office saying that his schedule still was being firmed up.

Ask no more.

Cheney will make an appearance at the party convention in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, as will President Bush.

"The vice president looks forward to participating in the Republican National Convention and continuing to work for the election of Sen. McCain and other Republican candidates in the coming months,'' spokeswoman Megan Mitchell told the Tribune just now.

1. Excellent! Another chance to link those two war criminals to Five Plane McLame...

...

[fasttense]

2. Ah, McCain and Dick Cheney, two peas in a pod. n/t

[LeftHander]

3. Get load of prime-time Repugs cheering the chimp...

That will pretty much disgust independents and the soft squishy center.

Bush is so arrogant he will expect long wild applause from the party kool-aid drinkers and he will get it.

The result will be a very disgusted populace. That will win the election alone.

It is going to be sweet to see the grinning demise of the golgafrintchens...as they gather leaves and sanitize phones with great looking hair.

4. Are we ready for prime time?

(Licks chops)

5. Get ready for body cavity searches!

Of course some rethuglicans may like that.

That reminds me of the time Satan's son (Dick Cheney) was giving a speech at a place I worked at (Embassey Suites) as a server back in 2002. They used curtains to block us from seeing his entrance and there were two fighter planes circling the hotel. Not to mention EOD and body guards all over the place. The pathetic part is that his donors left when we started to serve their dinner! Ungrateful fuckers!!! Hell, Don Siegelman wasn't afraid to say hi to us and the Alabama LGBT alliance was the only group nice enough to give me a tip.

6. It'll be great to get rid of cheney, won't it?

7. Will this be the "Pat Buchanan" speech that sank George Sr.?

[underpants]

9. Six GOP Senators won't be there

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=3746191&mesg_id=3746191

Sens. Ted Stevens of Alaska, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine all face tough re-election campaigns. Two others, Wayne Allard of Colorado and Larry Craig of Idaho, are retiring.

14. Cheney to Speak at Republican Convention

Source: WashingtonPost.com

Vice President Cheney will speak at the Republican convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul on the same day as President Bush, contrary to reports earlier in the week that he was not seeking a slot at the gathering, officials said today.

"The Vice President looks forward to participating in the Republican National Convention and continuing to work for the election of Senator McCain and other Republican candidates in the coming months," Cheney spokeswoman Megan Mitchell said.

The announcement suggests the controversial vice president's enduring popularity within the Republican base overcame concerns from some GOP insiders that his appearance would pose a political complication for McCain, who has sought mightily to distance himself from the current White House.

I bet McCain is wetting his pants.

[OKDem08]

15. interesting

I don't think Cheney is all that popular even with "the base" any more. We'll see what type of reception he receives.

[opihimoimoi]

16. McVains Depends needs changing,,,,,OMG.... Cheney? They gonna allow him to speak...

[fascisthunter]

17. good.... the man is a pariah

a traitor, a fascist, and a war criminal

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Every lawn party runs the risk of a skunk strolling in, and the (R)'s invite one

How good is that?

[TechBear_Seattle]

19. An office worker compared Cheney to "crazy Uncle Bert"

The elderly relative who makes batshit crazy seem sane but, because he is rich and powerful, must be invited to every family event no matter what.

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. Sort of like inviting a designated axe murderer.

Certainly guaranteed to be a topic of conversation.

[SemperEadem]

20. good. Tie him, bush and the old man together

Vote for the old man, means four more years of bush AND cheney.

Read 'The Dark Side' by Jane Mayer.

[Faygo Kid]

22. Great news. Prime time for Mr. Snarly, please.

Will he also challenge Chris Matthews to a fight, like Mr. Insanity, Zell Miller?

[Tim4319]

23. Is Cheney's intro music going to be Dart Vader's theme song?

[Franc_Lee]

31. It boils down to, who's more suitable for the appearance. Cheney or Bush. (Mccain isn't nutz about *

[LibDemAlways]

32. Great news. I think it's important to remind

Americans that the GOP is the party of snarling, mean, warmongering old pasty guys. Works for me.

[CatholicEdHead]

33. I think I will avoid the X that night

:yoiks: :hide:

[NickB79]

34. That explains why the cats were running around puffed up and screaming all night

They can sense the coming of evil.

[sofa king]

35. Hooray!

It's nice to see that their convention is being turned into a parade of narcissistic criminals. Most of the American people know them for what they are now and having them splashed across television screens instead of some other shitty reality show will only reinforce our collective revulsion.

[Solly Mack]

36. He's running the water-boarding booth & detainee snuff flick theatre

You know, the things he enjoys

[cliss]

37. GREAT move.

Now, set aside plenty of time for Cameo PHOTOS. Make sure all the candidates get their very own photo of Dick Cheney.

Stop....hold it.....smile.....

OK DICK wrap your arm around the candidate.


Look this way. SMILE!!! Click.

[cyr330]

38. Good!

I hope that cardiac challenged FUCK is all over the news for the whole world to see, given he's about the most unpopular asshole in the Bush administration.
