Cheney doesn’t like to be kept in the dark

According to a list of travel requests his office presents to hotels, Vice President Dick Cheney asks that all lights in his room be turned on and that all televisions be tuned to Fox News (of course). Among the other demands: a desk with chair, a king- or queen-size bed, a coffeepot, a microwave oven and four cans of Diet Sprite. All in all, those are pretty modest demands for the second-most powerful man in the country.

    I agree that these are modest demands. But what would cheney do (hehe) if he walked in and all the tvs were tuned to Free Speech TV and not Fux News?

    Would he take the hotel staff quail hunting?

    I hope that old blood money cheney will be able to adjust to the prison cell that awaits him!

    Cheers and peace to all of God’s creatures.

    Another indication of the nerrow vision this Bushytail administration has of what’s going on in this country.

    Even though ones leanings are one way or the other, in order to get an accurate assessment of what is realy happening, one needs to watch CNN, CBS, And Fox. One network will not give the whole story and in order to be truly informed, they should all be watched.

    I would prefer that he ask for these things instead of the request by the Clinton which was a blow job in every room.

    LOL

    JTF, can we assume that you agree, then, that this is the Cheney rather than the Bush administration?

    No partisanship here, just the facts!! We report, you decide! ;)

    Can you give us a hint of what your next handle will be (because you’ve kinda blown to sh*t JustTheFacts), or will the forum be forced to figure it out over time?

    SUGGESTION: JustTheFox, you get to keep the abbrev.!

    All the lights on huh,

    Do you suppose that Cheney (like a lot of bullies) is afraid of the dark?

    And of course the TVs have to be tuned to FOX. Someone has to keep an eye on the ministry of propoganda while bush is coloring.

    I am wondering if it is his personal request to have all the lights on or a security concern?

    Something tells me it is more to do with security.

    Doesn’t matter. This was destined to be another gathering for all the “I irrationally hate Bush” club members anyhow.

    There is nothing irrational about hating Bush. It shows that you are capable of thinking for yourself.

    The only political news Cheney wants to hear is what his Administration puts out via Fox. Who could have guessed?

    Brown, the act of hating Bush in itself is not irrational. The hate many of you have for him is though.

    Forget about “turning the other cheek,” Christian Nathan is in favor of hitting them before they even draw back their fist . . .

    How about graft, Nathan?

    In your fundamentalist Bible, is that okay too?

    Apparent, it is because Cheney is still on the Halliburton payroll while they get no-bid contracts in Iraq.

    Unbelievable . . .

    Nathan, you keep talking about how we hate Bush. You know, we put up with the same thing from you republicans when Clinton was in office. Vicous hateful rants constantly. It was never ending. So in a sense, you republicans taught us all about hate.

    To carry on about “Bush haters” is the ultimate hipocracy.

    NEWARK — Vice-President Dick Cheney has been named an Honorary Crip, following his shooting of a friend during a quail hunt.

    The famous gang, well established in New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Pennsylvania and other East Coast regions, and perhaps best known for its branch in Los Angeles and related groups in the Central American country of Belize, made the announcement yesterday at a press conference in a crackhouse in south central Los Angeles.

    “The Veep is the rock in our crackpipe,” said Michael “Crowbar” LePage, the Crip West Coast communications officer. “Without our even asking, he performed one of our primary initiation rites: Shooting a friend in the face. We’ll be mailing him a Crip bandana and guidebook immediately.”

    Cheney is said to be the first vice-president accepted into a gang, at least publicly. “JFK was rumoured to have been an Honorary Jet,” noted presidential historian Michael Beschloss on CNN shortly after LePage’s press conference.

    Nathan,You have to be the consummate idiot. You drank the whole pitcher of koolaid.In your first response, you contradicted yourself in two back-to-back sentences.Your second response proves we are right. The truth always hits a nerve.XXX has the only answer you will ever understand. You pompous republicans permanenty lowered the standard for respect that the president used to command. We had to listen to your mindless, petty attacks on the last president. Turnabout is fair play. If you don’t like to get dirty, stay out of the mud fight.Instead of koolaid, maybe you should try drinking bong water. Then all this won’t bother you so much.

    Given his unswerving support of bush, I don’t think Nathan even mixes water with the Koolaid. Maybe he snorts it.

    Nathan, you are half right. I rationally hate bush, and the full of crap part I will withold opinion for now. I don’t think there is much hope for you, but you never know.
