Signs that the Bush presidency is winding down: Talking Monday at the National Press Club about revelations that he’s distantly related to Barack Obama, Vice President Dick Cheney added that there are Cheneys on both sides of his family tree. “And we don’t even live in West Virginia,†Cheney joked. A spokeswoman later apologized for his “inappropriate attempt at humor,†which had caused bipartisan outrage in the state. West Virginia, by the way, went for Bush-Cheney in 2000 and 2004.

Rhonda, that joke wouldn’t play in Kansas.
Now if Cheney had said, “Linda discovered there were many schnauzers in our family,” the punchline would have been, “And we aren’t even Kansas Republicans!”
Pure comedy gold.
(It’s funny ‘cuz it’s true.)
Who cares about West Virgina? A state full of racist rednecks. Not only are they RACIST but about 20% of them are so RACIST that they would actually openly tell poll takers that they are racist. The only thing West Va is good for is providing guest for the Jerry Springer show!
Not like some on this forum haven’t used the ‘cousin’ marrying cousin joke themselves.
Imagine, someone having a preconceived notion of what a state is. Kev?
Hey, Dick! Don’t let the door hit ya on your backside on your way out!
It’s an’ts happ’n in Kansas…. Ya ev’r seen my
sis-turen?
“Vice President Dick Cheney added that there are Cheneys on both sides of his family tree”
That explains it Inbreeding!
I always thought it was Alabama and Mississippi where people married their cousins.
Hey, this ain’t right, Kanasas is the punchline state! Guess all the disgraced Republicans want to keep us as their Sanctuary State.
Cousins? Dick didn’t say anything about cousins!
Coming, as he does, from a rural hellhole like Wyoming, Cheney is in no position to talk.
What a douchebag. Glad to see that the drunkard who shot an old man and got away with it continues to diminish his own stature.
Didn’t we talk about this yesterday Regular? I sure hope that Cheney’s Halliburton buddies don’t need WV’s bituminous coal that you spoke of.
What ya call a Kansan with a truck load of sheep?
PIMP!
Or a Sheik with a Harem!
V.P. Agnue was greeted one his way to a speech by a sign that just said, “appoligise now so you won’t have to after your speech.” It seems every time our V.P. opens his mouth he either lies, swears or owes someone an appoligy.
