Cheney says Biden hasn't asked for any VP advice
(12-21) 06:49 PST WASHINGTON, (AP) --

Joe Biden soon will succeed Dick Cheney as vice president. So does Cheney have any advice for Biden?

Not really, it seems.

Cheney says Biden hasn't asked for any advice.

Biden has called Cheney "the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history." Biden also has said he couldn't name a single good thing that Cheney had done.

Cheney says he strongly disagrees with the idea that he dangerously expanded the powers of the executive branch. Cheney also says he doesn't think Barack Obama will give Biden as consequential a role as Cheney has had under President George W. Bush.

Cheney spoke on "Fox News Sunday."

2. If I was Biden, I'd be scared to death of talking to the guy, let alone asking him for advice
But I am not Biden, so what do I know?

ammunition were under lock 'n key before I talked to him.

"...Cheney also says he doesn't think Barack Obama will give Biden as consequential a role as Cheney has had under President George W. Bush..."

Give???? He's implying * gave him a role? First of all dimson hasn't a clue what a president does, so forget vice president. Darth grabbed everything not nailed down because of clueless.

I guess 9/11 would be a 'highlight' for him; it's when darth took complete control. As Bill Maher observed - why is it that the worse thing that ever happened to us, is the best thing that ever happened for them?

6. Holy crap, I'm listening to the Fox & Friends interview right now on the radio.
Edited on Sun Dec-21-08 12:44 PM by tridim
It's unbelievable. Deny and blame is all The Dick has.

Fox dude: "What's the highest moment of the last 8 years?"
Cheney: "9/11"

There it is folks, that's all you need to know about the evil of Dick Cheney.

7. Why Haven't Psychiatrists Been Setting Off Red Flags
regarding Cheney's personality disorder. It seems quite obvious to me. In fact, the whole lot of them (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove, etc.) probably cover the field of psychiatric disorders.

9. HAHAHAHAHA! OMG, that made me laugh!
Cheney needs to be put down. The guy is batshit, rabid, and possibly contagious.

11. Biden did meet with Cheney
The meeting at the Naval Observatory in Washington, a historic building that has been home to vice presidents since 1974, was off-limits to the press, but an official photograph was to be released afterward.

12. Hey, Dick, If Joe needs advice on how to wipe his ass with the Constitution, he'll give you a call
otherwise, don't hold your breath.

13. I'd be sweeping that office for bugs, I'd be disinfecting the place with the
strongest chemical I could find, and I'd make damn sure everyone connected to the man, clear down to the janitorial staff, was totally new.

14. Well, what would he ask?
"Torture: the best or the bestest?"

"Kittens: grilled or baked?"

"Iraq: quagmire or smoking hole in the ground?"

16. You think?
Unless Biden has a hunting buddy he secretly desires to shoot in his face, I can't see anything valuable Cheney could tell him.

18. Yea, like Joe Biden needs Cheney's advise. I think Joe can
handle the VP job just fine without it.

20. More from the interview (expanded!)...
"Really," Cheney added, swirling a goblet of dark red wine. The Vice-President was sitting back in a ghastly throne constructed from bone, endangered animals and dried human skin. In the background a blazing fire roared like the screams of a thousand damned souls, fueled by the shattered fragments of broken dreams being fed into it by two College Republicans chained to the floor. On the other side of the chamber, a crash team was attempting to bring life to Cheney's long-discarded heart. "I simply do not understand the reasoning behind this."

"So you think it would be a good idea if the Vice-President Elect sought your advice?" The reporter asked, a young nondescript blonde, her pen ready against her notepad. She was seated upon a simple armchair, her eyes darting repeatedly with unease towards the restraints attached to the sides.

"At the very least," Cheney continued, not reacting as a strange, dull-eyed drooling chimp-like creature fell from the ceiling and landed head-first on his shoulder. "One would think he'd like to know how to keep the demons at bay."

"You mean the internal fears and trials associated with holding such a high office?" The reporter asked, trying to draw herself into as small a bubble as possible. She started as a large rat brushed past her leg, bringing a slip of paper into Cheney's waiting hand.

"It seems Condileeza is out of fresh-squeezed orphan tears... hmmm... thank you, Donald," Cheney picked up the rat and threw it into the fire. "No you fool, I mean the demons in the basement! A summoned horde of Gamosh-Ra have taken residence there, constantly demanding to feast upon the still-beating hearts of virgins! But if I give them any, I'll have none left for myself!"

"I-I-I can see h-how that would be troubling..." The reporter suddenly shrieked as a massive python slide up the back of her chair. The snake eyed the reporter, its forked tongue darting out and tasting the woman's delicious fear. Bearing her fangs in another hiss, Lynn glared at the reporter and slithered off.

"Indeed it is," Cheney nodded gravely, taking a moment to admire his collection of impaled kittens. The creature on his shoulder eyed them hungrily, viscous green drool dripping from its yellow teeth; Cheney absently tossed the dull-eyed simian a pretzel and continued. "But is Joe going to ask me about any of it?" Cheney sighed, shaking his head as the creature fell to the floor, choking. "He's going to be in for a unpleasant surprise when he opens the man-sized safe..."



:crazy:

21. In reply, VP-elect Biden asked, "What kind of advice could I get from a piece of shit?"

22. Well he could at least ask Cheney what he would do so he
can do the exact opposite in every case. That could be some invaluable information.

23. I loved Biden's reaction to George S. on the subject
laughing about Cheney, standing by what he said about Cheney. I guess Cheney had said Biden would change his mind once in power and seeing the intelligence, but Biden said, I've already been seeing most of the intelligence as SFRC chair, and seeing it now in briefings, and Biden hasn't changed his mind at all.
