> [@roger thornhill](#): > > There, in the garret, night by night. The smock, the palette, the Gitanes. And the cheap tumbler, smudged with paint, from which you sip the lees of the cheap tawny port. I met a guy once who talked like that. So I married him. To answer the OP, Cheney would make a worse president than Bush. ---

This guy who worked in the restaurant that I worked in last summer, and who told me that he was going to vote for Bush because Bush is the only candidate with the balls to bomb Korea. _South_ Korea. ---

> [@Cluricaun](#): > > Stone Cold Steve Austin Okay, this is a great idea. As soon as Bin Laden took credit for 9/11, he would’ve run backstage, chased him out to the ring, beat him over the head with a steel chair, hit him with the Stone Cold Stunner, chugged a few beers, and that would’ve been that. It would’ve all been over on 9/12/01. ---

> [@Starving Artist](#): > > Pardon the slight hijack, but can anyone tell me just exactly what Cheney has done to earn the reputation as “mean?” (I mean aside from heading up a large corporation and serving past Republican presidents. We all know both of those are evil.) > > I’ll bet nobody has a single, solitary example of his having ever been “mean” to anybody. I called him charmless, surly, a puppetmaster and big business sock puppet and all you want me to cite is “mean?” Late July, Cheney told Senator Patrick Leahy – during a debate on the senate floor – to go fuck himself. Mean. Also rude and churlish. ---
