Dick Cheney -- Resting Comfortably

D. Vader Chaney may be resting comfortably, but we shan't, not until he's up and about again. God speed and God bless.

Yes this is a fan page.

Vice President Dick Cheney cracked a number of jokes Wednesday night at the Radio & Television Correspondents' Dinner In Washington D.C. Cheney got some laughs when he told the audience that he had asked his wife, Lynne Cheney, whether the label Darth Vader applied to his personality. According to Cheney, his wife said it "humanizes you."

He don't need no stinkin' humanizin'.

More From That Spawn Of Satan

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Protecting the country’s security is “a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business,” he said. “These are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.”

Citing intelligence reports, Cheney said at least 61 of the inmates who were released from Guantanamo during the Bush administration — “that’s about 11 or 12 percent” — have “gone back into the business of being terrorists.”

Hey, who am I gonna believe? The Western Gentleman or another eastern dilettante? Asked and answered.

Mr. Vice President

I love the guy. And his wife. Not only because of Haliburton. What a company! Or because my respect drives my friends and colleagues extra-nutty. Or because he don't need my love. He ain't needy. Wanted him to run in '94. We got Doled. And Lewinsky'd. This week Jay Nordlinger, in Darth Vader Speaks, notes of Cheney:

...And the widespread image of him as some sort of villain is sick. Sick.

For decades, Cheney was one of the most respected Republicans in the country. Respected by all sides and factions. This was true when he was with Ford, when he was a House member (and leader), when he was defense secretary. John Tower’s nomination went down, Bush (41) turned to Cheney, and everyone said “Hurrah.” You never heard a bad word about Dick Cheney. He was the ultimate in the sober, sensible, responsible politician-statesman.

But now he’s viewed as a right-wing monster: a Torquemada or Attila the Hun. What the heck happened? I put this question, about image, to Cheney himself. (Kate interjected, “I’m surprised he’s allowed to live near preschools.”)

PS Miss Lewinsky did rise from kneeling pawn of a Peyronied, small-time con-artist fluke leader to standing graduate of the London School of Economics. Uh huh. Top that you losers.
