New York Sun says Cheney should run for Prez in 2008.

[Hamlette]

Just when you thought you'd heard it all. . .

"Mr. Cheney has virtues as a candidate in his own right. He has foreign policy experience by virtue of having served as defense secretary, and he has economic policy experience, having served as a leading tax-cutter while a member of the House of Representatives. His wife, Lynne, would be an asset to the ticket in her own right, a point made by Kathryn Jean Lopez in a post on the topic at National Review Online back in February. By our rights, Lynne Cheney would make one of the greatest First Ladies in history. Mr. Cheney, in any event, is more than four years younger than Mr. McCain, and, if elected, would be 67 years old at his inauguration, younger than Reagan was when he took office. His health, while a topic of frequent speculation, hasn't interfered with his service as vice president."

1. Please run please run please run.

I'd love to see a Rethug candidate not get a single vote from anyone, and I think Deadeye is the sort of guy who can pull it off.

[oldgrowth]

18. About a year ago he was at 18%

[TexasLawyer]

19. yesssssssssssssssssss!

Oh, he'd be an excellent candidate-- to run against!

[UrbScotty]

2. K&R for hilarity. (nt)

[sutz12]

3. Make sure he doesn't take a shotgun to the debates..

:evilgrin:

[Fovea]

4. See DIck run. Run Dick, run.

See the mob with tar and feathers running after him.

Run Mob, run!!!!

[Bozita]

5. April Fool's Day? Local paper said US is building fence in Great Lakes

[Hamlette]

9. 4 days late for April Fools....I think they are serious but when you realize

Rudy just reaffirmed his support for government funding for abortion Romeny wears funny underwear and believes Christ visited the US and McCain is apparently brain dead, you can just smell the fear.

[pigpickle]

6. With his heart problems?? Fuhgedaboudit!!

[PDJane]

7. OK, that's just............

I haven't been shocked speechless in a long time, but that...............

[grannylib]

8. Yeah, he should run. He should run a mile. That'd take care of him right

quick and the whole thing would be moot.

Isn't that another Moonie paper?

[opihimoimoi]

10. Cheney has a lot of experience in all those things mentioned: But lacks: Goodwill, Honor, Integrity,

Charisma, Common Sense, Truth, Logic, Sanity, and Reality...

Despite his list of shit...he IS SHIT

[philosophie_en_rose]

11. The Republican primary would be a bloodbath.

Battle of the cannibal corpses. Darth Cheney v. Guiliani v. Mit Flip Flopper v. McCain


:loveya:

[Colobo]

12. Incredible...

[cosmicone]

13. I wish Cheney would run ...

... perhaps Warner Bros can do an animation spoof

Cheney = Wile E. Coyote
McCain = Yosemite Sam
Rudy Giuliani = Elmer J. Fudd
Romney = Foghorn Leghorn

It will be hilarious!!!

[wake.up.america]

24. That's not a bad idea. Then we would have more opportunities to point out his disastrous policies.

[pinto]

14. Thank you New York Sun.

:bounce:

Will they strew flowers and name a square after him when he gets the nomination? Isn't that the standard to date?

:rofl:

[Kool Kitty]

15. Okay. This is the funniest post of the brand-new day.

His health hasn't interfered with his service? :7 His wife would be an asset? AN ASSET??? She would be one of the GREATEST FIRST LADIES???? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Gregorian]

16. The comments on that page are astounding!

It's enough to make me wonder just what kinds of (in)humans live amongst us.

Do these people have nothing inside? No heart. No brain. No reasoning faculties? God! I guess after all of this time on the planet, I shouldn't still be shocked by things like this. The empty shall always be with us, I suppose.

[saltpoint]

17. And damn, is he ever popular, too.

This is an air-tight case, no question about it.

[Swamp Rat]

20. the peasants love him!

:D

[saltpoint]

26. There's Uncle Dick now! I love it. And he's got his signature snarl on, too.

What a hideous man.

Hiya, Swamp Rat. Nice work as always.

[salin]

32. on Morning Edition - a protest (including repubs) at BYU

against Cheney speaking at graduation.

And - they mentioned that while usually Univs. make the invitation to high profile speakers, that Cheney's folks approached BYU and *asked* to be able to speak.

Back to the story at hand, almost makes you wonder if the NYSun has some political subversives working for them who just parade at being loyal repubs cause what they advocate would certainly tank the Repub party.

[saltpoint]

42. Hmm. So Uncle Dick's people approached the BYU people.

That's just not the same, is it? And so once he shows up there's a rare protest.

I kind of like the idea of conservative students protesting tyrant Cheney.

There was an ominous quality to the photographs of Cheney lurking in the peripheral bushes during Dubya's presser. Kind of the way he operates all the time.

[salin]

44. it is like they have been hit by a truck - but don't quite yet realize it

sorta like Bruce Willis in the Sixth Sense movie - Willis keeps operating as life is normal and isn't reflective as to what some of the odd changes mean. But Dick's hding in the bushes (pun intended) does sorta indicate that he is a little more aware than bush about the sea change that has occured.

[saltpoint]

45. Yes. As repellent as Dick Cheney is, he is smart. Sort of like a

giant lizard who has somehow evolved.

But all his smarts are given over to the corporate state, and to public statements dividing segments of the population against each other.

[katsy]

21. Kewl... Bring him on!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[K8-EEE]

22. Oh yes PLEEEEEEEEEEEZE! GIVE US DICK!

Oh, Mr. 18%, I think that's a great idea.

We can run the best Dem (Kucinich) against him and win HUGH!!!!#@#!

[Virginian]

23. That was 18% approval, I wonder what percent of polls he would get? n/t

[ArbustoBuster]

27. Is there a number less than zero in polling?

Sycophant: "Sir, we have determined that you received negative seven percent of the vote. We're not certain how."
Cheney: "Damn it, Diebold f*cked up again!"

[silverojo]

25. NY Sun: Go f**k yourself! -- n/t

[tavalon]

28. Wouldn't that be sweet? But it isn't ever going to happen.

We could run a cabbage, hell, a rotten cabbage with a bad heart, against him and win.

[krispos42]

29. Oh, this is a very good idea

I don't know how he'll do meet-and-greets from federal prison. Maybe some sort of teleconference?

What states would Cheney carry? Texas, Utah, Denial, and maybe Idaho.

[Lasher]

30. Run, Lord Vader! Run like the wind!

What a GOP dream team it would make if he paired up with Newt or The Hamper! :D

Edit: I heard Junior could run because if you take into account all the time he's been on vacation he's only served one term.

[camero]

31. It would figure

That's the kind of crap you get from a Rupert Murdoch rag.

[no_hypocrisy]

33. Cruel irony if Cheney did run. Bet he'd have Jeb as his running mate.

Serve one year, retire for health reasons and install yet another Bush in the White House without the voters having a direct say in the matter.

[stlsaxman]

34. Photoshop Geniuses- "Cheney Defeats Gore", please!

I'm bno good at photoshop but maybe The Sun would run this photo with Cheney's head cropped in and the headlinf changed!




:bounce: :rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

35. First of all, Crashcart isn't what you'd call "approachable".

Cheney is as closed-boardroom, behind-the-schemes as you can get, and that's how he prefers it.

Secondly, and Repukes know this, we could run a shoebox against Cheney and win. He's the most hated VP in history, and yes I have heard of Spiro Agnew. There were more than a few Repubs at one point who saw him as a "drag" on the party, representing the corrupt 80s Republicans in a new CEO-suited evil.

[Control-Z]

36. Cheney, for Prez?

right...:rofl:

[cooolandrew]

37. Sharp shooter Dick you can do it.

[AwakeAtLast]

38. I'll donate money to his campaign if he does!!!

;)

That would be so funny to see!

[bdamomma]

39. these people must be on drugs and a heavy amount of kool aide

[all.of.me]

40. virtues? asset? service?

what funny words in an article about dick cheney! :rofl:

[baldguy]

41. We should be so lucky.

[spanone]

43. With Cheney's ratings, he couldn't run for septic tank cleaner.
