[annxburns]

"WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) said Wednesday he cannot envision any circumstance in which he would not run for a second term, saying President Bush (news - web sites) has been "very clear he doesn't want to break up the team." "

Can someone give me a whew!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

1. WOO HOO!

"Thanks for the votes Dick!! And go fuck yourself!"

-John Kerry

[mia]

24. Who better than Uncle Dick to carry Georgie back to Crawford?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

37. Fan-fucking-tastic picture!

LOVE IT!

[fertilizeonarbusto]

2. YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS

My day is made. We all know that * agrees with anything and all Unca Dick sez.

[Parche]

3. have a heart

Yeah,

[mom cat]

42. I predict a "heart attact" instead.

[Claire Beth]

4. YESSSSS!

If Dickless Cheney is on the ticket it will only hurt fuckwad!!!!

:kick:

[indepat]

5. Whew, thank goodness we will have the Cheneying Cheney to kick around

in the political sense.

[thebigidea]

6. and if Dick Cheney says so, why - it MUST be true!

[lovuian]

7. Well Cheney is the REAL President....Why Wouldn't he???

GOP is so silly....they have no control over Cheney

thats got to be a bit frightening .....

He controls the GOP right now

:bounce:

[Bruce McAuley]

8. Say "bye-bye", Dick!

*Big Sigh of Relief*

Bruce

[sweetladybug]

10. Thanks Mr Cheney. Glad to hear you are staying on the ticket

I wonder HOW they intend to steal this election? They are going to have to do better than they did in 2000 since so many more people will be voting Democrat
ELECT KERRY AND EDWARDS 2004!!!!

[Caution]

9. the very fact that he has to answer this question at all

shoudl show him how unpopular he is and how much of a drag he is to Bush. Thankfully he also appears to be a complete and total bonehead.

[cprise]

11. "Yesssireebob!

"Yes. Definately yes... I'm staying."


"Yup!"

[cliss]

35. Interviewer: "Do you want to stay on the ticket, Mr. Cheney?"

Cheney: "Why, yes. Of course. Why wouldn't I be?"\

Interviewer: "Well, your ratings are really down. Political pundits say you are hurting the Repub ticket".

Cheney: "Oh, really? Who cares about them? They don't know Dick.

Interviewer: "But you were at a Yankees game recently. They showed your face on the big screen at half time. A lot of people started booing you".

Cheney: "That's not true. They were upset because of the Cubs. They are a worthless team".

Interviewer: "Look, I'm gonna get right down to it. You're in bad health. Your heart could give out at any time. You've had - what, 4 triple bypass surgeries now? Don't you still have a hole in your aorta that the doctors were not able to fix?

Cheney: (stops for a minute, holds his hand by his heart)

[Beetwasher]

12. You Go Dick!

Fuck You! So glad you're sticking it out, just like I knew an arrogrant, egotistical, power hungry douchebag would! I only hope your ticker doesn't give out before Nov.!

[maddezmom]

13. if the GOP wants him to go, he'll have heart trouble and step down....

not holding my breath...he'll fall on his sword and collect his payment from Halliburton.

[gratuitous]

14. Well, the boss has spoken

And you know how slavishly devoted the Pukes are to authoritarianism, so it's a done deal now that the top man has weighed in. Lil George can only acquiesce.

[iconoclastic cat]

15. I hope he gets meaner every day,

until that black lump of gristle and wires beneath his breastplate finally collapses into dark matter and slurps him out of existence.

[llmart]

16. My prayers have been answered.

He is going to be the albatross around ole' Georgie's neck this time. Let's just hope his next heart attack doesn't happen until after November. Buh, buy Dickie Boy! And take your ugly, snarly faced grin with you so we don't have to look at it any more.

[Gothmog]

17. Yeah

I have been afraid that Cheney would bail. I am so looking forward to his debate with Senator Edwards.

[fdr_hst_fan]

19. WHAT DEBATE?

He won't debate Edwards-they'll come up with some "National Security" reason for him to duck what could ONLY be an embarassment to SMIRK/SNARL '04! :mad:

[Tommy_Douglas]

18. Of course he's staying

He was made for the GOP and vice versa.

[Ann Arbor Dem]

20. Best news I've heard all day! n/t

[JoFerret]

21. But all this doubt and speculation

keeps Cheney's negatives well aired and at the forefront. And everything would change on an instant should their be a health crisis - real or manufactured.

[KoKo]

22. You Bet! If he goes the "hangman's noose" awaits...Prosecutions!

No way they will take a chance that Cheney won't be under Executive Privilege. They don't want their secrets coming out and even a "pardon" for Cheney wouldn't work because the secrets are so dark.

[bigworld]

23. Is Dick getting bigger?

Is it me, or does it seem that Cheney's putting on some weight lately?

I think this tough talk is all a ploy, and he'll drop out at the last minute (health reasons, natch), leaving Giuliani free to be named vp on Sept 11 at the convention.


jim

[mia]

25. It looks like it

[Art_from_Ark]

45. There's no cheneying way Giuliani's getting on the ticket

The neocons are not about to let an outsider have the Number Two spot-- especially when Number Two is really Number One

[Cooley Hurd]

26. As much as I'd like to believe it to be true...

...I still have a sinking feeling that the Koronary Kid's gonna bow out soon "for health reasons." Bush has to win and he won't have a chance unless he pulls a Hail Mary, like dumping KrashKart and replacing him with a popular repug (and even then, winning will still be a long shot)...

[luaneryder]

33. This is how I feel

I never saw * dumping Dick or Dick bowing out for the sake of the ticket, but I see a heart attack on the stump coming I hope I'm wrong.

[midnight armadillo]

27. He is the power behind the throne

Why on earth would he drop out? Short of his rotted, decrepit heart finally giving up on pumping any more blood through his stinking carcass, he'll be on the ticket no matter what. French indictments for corruption? They'll be blown off since they're from a freedom, er, French court!

[CO Liberal]

28. Hey, Cheney!!! Go F**k Youself!!!!

:-)

[Piperay]

29. Love it...

can't wait for Edwards to debate the old bastard. :bounce:

[frylock]

30. myeh.. it's curtains for kerry, see..

curtains. myeh.

[Zorra]

31. This is great news! Bu$h is officially toast! Put that old buzzard next

to John Edwards in a debate and that's all we'll need. Not to mention that Edwards would tear him to pieces on policy issues, but that is actually secondary compared to the visual impact a televised debate would have on the average voter.

[Disturbed]

32. $ 36 Million

That's the tally of Cheney and his wife's assests. Why does he want to remain VP ?

[OnionPatch]

34. Yeah, well he HAS to say this.......

until he has his "heart attack" in September.
Sorry to be so negative.

[Gloria]

36. Great, Jon Stewart will be able to continue his skewering indefinitely!

eom

[milkyway]

38. bush has been overruled.

[Geo55]

39. Bring it on...

[4_Legs_Good]

40. Wooo Hooo!!!

Those those guys will change their minds at the drop of a hat.

david

[Cocoa]

41. not very difinitive

not at all.

[tjdee]

43. Don't believe it.

This smacks to me of Bush saying how much he supports Sec. O'Neill (who quit/was fired), Chairman of the SEC Pitt (who quit/was fired), etc.

They could tell me it was sunny outside and I'd go and check to make sure.

When they see how much people respond to Edwards, Cheney is out for someone touchier and feelier, I think.

[demgrrrll]

44. That makes sense but they only have about 90 days to do something

so they better get to work. There isn't going to be a pretty
way to do this if he is indicted.

[Kool Kitty]

47. I think they'll have a hard time

finding a "touchy, feely" Republican. Seriously, I can't think of one.

[Swamp Rat]

46. Hope Springs Eternal!

[Bo]

48. Good...you will lose
