Vice President Dick Cheney made his most dire remarks to date about a November victory by Democratic nominee John Kerry, saying that the French seer Nostradamus warned that Mr. Kerry's election would signal the end of the world.

1. WTF?

Is this a joke?

[oldhat]

7. OMG.

Jeebus.

Take a guess. Take two guesses. First one doesn't count.

[Doug Decker]

8. Satire n/t

[Emboldened Chimp]

9. Yes, it is...

but the guy's such an asshole that this sounds like something that could come out of his sneering mouth.

[Alleycat]

10. No I think he really means it!!

[Texas_Dem]

2. ha ha!

[Texas_Dem]

3. dupe

[G_j]

4. uhh...

at first I thought this was an Onion piece.
Are we in the twilight zone?

[spanone]

12. Andy Borowitz he's a satirist. Appears on CNN in the morn occasionally.

[amber dog democrat]

5. NO WAY

Joke ? No ?

[DBtv]

6. I assume you realize this is satirical "humor".

FYI

[Alleycat]

16. Yes it is satire but.....

Can hear him saying it with that sneer!!!

[DBtv]

19. That's what makes it great satire.

Totally plausible. Thanks for posting it.

[Lucky Luciano]

11. LOL

I was wondering if it was April Fools or something....anyway, I would not put it past Cheney for at least thinking about this remark:

Cheney added that if Kerry were elected, "Rather than seeing the world come to an end I would put the world out of its misery by destroying it myself."

[jimshoes]

13. LOL

For a minute it had me going.

[MrSlayer]

14. How great would this be if it were true?

Still it's a funny story.

[BootinUp]

15. What a riot. LOL

[kikiek]

17. That was good. Enjoyed it.

[blue neen]

18. LMAO! And it is within the realm of possibility that Cheney

would make a ludicrous statement like that!

[spooky3]

20. Go to borowitzreport.com daily. It'll keep you sane.

He is hysterical and an excellent writer.

Loved his "The Trillionaire Next Door" book that came out a couple of years ago when all the goofy day traders were the rage.

[cheshire]

21. He really is pissed about the dickhead photos. Did he mention the

one about the villiage idiot being the most powerful man in the world.

[rullery]

22. We ought to get this to CNN and FOX right away!

Tell them it came from Swift Boat Vets, and see how quickly they run it.

[RevCheesehead]

23. no, it's true, and I have the document to prove it:

WOO-HOO! My 500th post!!!

[neonplaque]

24. Holy F8ck... is this real?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

25. The last paragraph's the best one...

"In other campaign news, President George W. Bush told reporters today that he "doubted" that the Texas National Guard memos discovered by CBS last week could be authentic because "I know exactly where the real ones are hidden."

[Hello_Kitty]

30. I agree...ROFLMAO!!

[knight_of_the_star]

26. Ok

The ONLY thing that is keeping me from sending out a thousand e-mails to get some media attention to this is that it says SATIRE next to the author's name.

Then again, it would NOT surprise me if Pottymouth said something like that.

[Longhorn]

27. I can't believe I actually was falling for this!

I just read the beginning (without reading the byline) and started reading it to my husband and I was getting more and more incensed -- and then I realized it HAD to be a joke!

So you (and Borowitz) got me! :D Thanks!

[wicket]

28. Definitely satire

But funny :)

[Scorpious_Maximus]

29. What does that tell you about the "Villiage Idiot"?
