Cheney: ‘I Don’t Have Any Idea’ Why People Don’t Like M

Only 29 percent of Americans approve of the job Dick Cheney is doing as Vice President. In an interview with his hometown Wyoming newspaper, The Caspar Star-Tribune, Cheney expressed his bewilderment over his low approval numbers:

QUESTION: How do you explain your low approval rating?

CHENEY: I don’t have any idea. I don’t follow the polls.

16. you shot your "friend" in the face, Dick

[Zorra]

17. Golly gee, Dick, could it be because you helped deliberately destroy the US

and were part of an administration that murdered maybe, what, a million innocent people?

Of course, the reason you can't understand why people don't like you is because you are proud of the evil, psychopathic things that you have done.

[Sal Minella]

18. "What's wrong with you, is it ignorance or is it apathy?"..."I don't know and I don't care."

Health problems

Cheney's long histories of cardiovascular disease and periodic need for urgent health care have raised questions of whether he is medically fit to serve in public office. Once a heavy smoker, Cheney sustained the first of four heart attacks in 1978, at age 37. Subsequent attacks in 1984, 1988, and 2000<111> have resulted in moderate contractile dysfunction of his left ventricle. He underwent four-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting in 1988, coronary artery stenting in November 1994, and urgent coronary balloon angioplasty in December 1994.<112>

As vice president, Cheney is cared for by the White House Medical Group (WHMG).<113> Staff from the WHMG accompany the president and the vice president while either is traveling, and make advance contact with local emergency medical services to ensure that urgent care is available immediately should it be necessary. He has undergone a number of procedures during his tenure.

In 2001, an examination of Cheney with a Holter monitor revealed the presence of brief episodes of (asymptomatic) ectopy. An electrophysiologic study was performed, at which Cheney was found to have an unsteady and potentially fatal heartbeat.<114> An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was therefore implanted in his left upper anterior chest.<115>

On September 24, 2005, Cheney underwent a six hour endo-vascular procedure to repair popliteal artery aneurysms bilaterally, a catheter treatment technique used in the artery behind each knee.<112> The condition was discovered at a regular physical in July, and was not life-threatening.<114> Cheney was taken to hospital for tests after experiencing shortness of breath five months later. In late April, 2006, an ultrasound revealed that the clot was smaller.<112>

On March 5, 2007, Cheney was treated for deep-vein thrombosis in his left leg at George Washington University Hospital after experiencing pain in his left calf.<112> Doctors prescribed blood-thinning medication and allowed him to return to work.<116>

CBS News reported that during the morning of November 26, 2007, Cheney was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and underwent treatment that afternoon.<112>

On July 12, 2008 Cheney underwent a cardiological exam, and doctors reported that his heartbeat was normal for a 67-year-old man with a history of heart problems. As part of his annual checkup, he was administered an electrocardiogram and radiological imaging of the stents placed in the arteries behind his knees in 2005. Doctors said that Cheney had not experienced any recurrence of atrial fibrillation and that his special pacemaker had neither detected nor treated any arrhythmia.<117> On October 15, 2008, Cheney returned to the hospital briefly to treat a minor irregularity. <118>

22. I think it's this...

On the rare occasions when Cheney appears in public, people walk in front of him chanting Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

Vice-presidents with tentacles: LOW approval ratings!

[gratuitous]

23. Have a seat, Crash Cart

Got about a week? I'll clue you in, fucknuts.

[omega minimo]

24. Dick was mistranscribed. He really said: "I don't have any idea. I don't value the proles."

:puke:

[Ichingcarpenter]

25. I think he meant the helots.

He mistook his lawyer for one during his Krypteia hunting season.

[pleah]

26. That 29% must be the little demons dancing around his feet.

Doesn't have any idea, no, he just doesn't give a shit.

[ColbertWatcher]

27. BWAHAHAHA! *gasp* BWAHAHAHAHA! n/t

[Canuckistanian]

28. Cheney polls two points below adultery

http://thismodernworld.com/2459

Cheney now 2 points behind cheating on your wife

As you’ve no doubt heard, Bush’s approval rating has fallen to 35. Maybe America is starting to realize that secret prisons and endless war aren’t really the best government we can possibly hope for.

Dick Cheney, in the same poll, has a 19 percent approval rating.

How low is 19 percent?

According to previous surveys (scroll down in the link), that’s two points less popular than cheating on your spouse and seven points behind corporal punishment in schools.

Dick Cheney is now comfortably nestled deep in what can be politely called lunatic territory. As I’ve been pointing out for years, twenty or thirty percent of Americans believe any insane thing you can imagine.

Dick Cheney is now 18 points behind the number of people who believe alien beings have secretly contacted the U.S. government.

And this post was from 2005.

[w8liftinglady]

29. now,I'm sure he polls 2 points below gonorrhea

[spanone]

30. rotten to the core. not one redeeming value as a human being.

fuck you chenee

[Demeter]

31. Wm. S. Gilbert Wrote Cheney's Theme Song

King Gama:


If you give me your attention, I will tell you what I am:
I'm a genuine philanthropist — all other kinds are sham.
Each little fault of temper and each social defect
In my erring fellow-creatures, I endeavour to correct.
To all their little weaknesses I open people's eyes;
And little plans to snub the self-sufficient I devise;
I love my fellow creatures — I do all the good I can —
Yet ev'rybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!
And I can't think why!


To compliments inflated I've a withering reply;
And vanity I always do my best to mortify;
A charitable action I can skillfully dissect;
And interested motives I'm delighted to detect;
I know ev'rybody's income and what ev'rybody earns;
And I carefully compare it with the income-tax returns;
But to benefit humanity however much I plan,
Yet ev'rybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!
And I can't think why!


I'm sure I'm no ascetic; I'm as pleasant as can be;
You'll always find me ready with a crushing repartee,
I've an irritating chuckle, I've a celebrated sneer,
I've an entertaining snigger, I've a fascinating leer.
To ev'rybody's prejudice I know a thing or two;
I can tell a woman's age in half a minute — and I do.
But although I try to make myself as pleasant as I can,
Yet ev'rybody says I'm such a disagreeable man!
And I can't think why!

Chorus:
He can't think why!

Gama & Chorus.
I/He can't think why!
