How come the human shield trick didn't work for Darth Cheney?

[CatWoman]

On the field with him were three US servicemen, two of whom had been wounded in Iraq and a third who was injured in Afghanistan.

1. because he outweighs them all. nt

2. Because he's so thoroughly loathsome...

not even walking out with a litter of golden retriever puppies could help him.

He just exudes evil and arrogance. It just boils out of him like cigarette fumes from a three-pack-a-day Lucky smoker. He can't help it.

3. if you look at the video, they didn't accompany him to the mound

like * did...

4. No doubt they were too embarrassed to.

They likely didn't even want to be out there. Surely they know better than anyone the evils of this administration.

5. Wonder what would it feel like to have an entire stadium booing me?

I would probably break down crying on the mound in the fetal position.

The Dick's reaction? An evil sneer and a smirk. I'll bet good money his inner monologue was saying, "Go fuck yourself baseball fans".

6. inner monologue

Actually, the standard inner monologue of this admin has been -- "Go fuck yourselves, American citizens. We're getting ours."

7. A loud mixture of cheers and boos as major-league asshole opens season.

Cheers for the three US servicemen with Cheney, two of whom had been wounded in Iraq and a third who was injured in Afghanistan. Boos for the major-league asshole Cheney as he opened the Washington Nationals' baseball season. It was the second "season" Cheney has opened this year. A few weeks ago he opened the Texas man-hunt season with an expert shot against lawyer Harry Whitington. There were plenty of Cheers! and booze at that event, too.
