Cheney probably stole the wheelchair from some poor disabled kid without insurance. I suppose the kid needs to learn that in Dick Cheney’s America there is no room for people who burden the state. Any state spending on the unwashed masses threatens a zero tax rate for the bandits controlling American commerce or more precisely the people who sell bonds.
I want to know what was in the box that Cheney wouldn’t allow anyone else to move. Toenails pulled from Gitmo? Naked pictures of Bush and Condi?
I agree.
What?
oooo I like this one!
I bet Condi was on top.
Yep.
Best line was Kimmel’s, who said the real reason is that Cheney’s legs have turned back into hooves.
oh puh-leeze
Exactly.
I think someone should’ve called him on it and thrown him out of the chair (like at the end of The Big Lebowski), and if it turned out he wasn’t faking, so much the better (like at the end of The Big Lebowski). 
I am continually amazed at the hatred coming from those who support hope, change, diversity, inclusion, togetherness, …
You can support all those things and still feel resentment that these worse-than-Nixon criminals are getting off with freedom and pensions and a lecture-tour future.
Why are you amazed? Do you think liberals have to support and include EVERYTHING? Do they have to cheer on those who have had an enormous negative impact on the country? Should they include those who, through their own ignorance, hubris, and stubbornness, has led us into an unnecessary and costly war, contributed to an economic downturn which we still haven’t hit bottom of, broke the law, and lied to the American people? Why anyone would want to include the likes of Dick Cheney is beyond me. He is the very thing we want to change.
You ever hear that saying, “Don’t open your mind so much your brain falls out?”
Translation: Just because you can be tolerant doesn’t mean you have to be stupid.
That is something I don’t think Dick Cheney would stoop to. That’s saying a lot.
Myself, I was somewhat surprised to see him there at all. I expected him to be dead by 2004.
The guy’s had numerous heart attacks while in office and was criticized for being too old when he was first elected. And now he’s faking ill health?
There are so many wonderful examples about how big of an asshole is this Mr. Cheney. Why would anyone grab at speculation to prove it?
I agree, if KOS isn’t an idiot he’s at least impersonating one in this thread.
The OP wasn’t a scheming Manichean puppetmaster at the side of the leader of the free world for 8 years. So I sense faulty logic in there someplace.
Personally, I don’t doubt Cheney had an injury (or possibly a condition - bad ticker and all) which necessitated a wheelchair, I just doubt he hurt himself moving boxes around. I wouldn’t doubt if the man hasn’t lifted anything heaver than high-ball glass in the last 20 years.
My friends in the vampre community assure me that the former VP is not one of their number. They have standards, and no one is willing to turn him.
As far as funny goes, a blogger, quoted in the Washington Post Express this morning, said something like “His deal with the Devil has come due, and he’s reverting to the form he will inhabit for the next thousand years.”
To the complainers – the reason people hate on him is that they’ve been paying attention.
His heart.
Just out of curiosity, do you mean “Manchiavellian” here? If not, what makes you call the ex-VP “Manichean”?
