Does anyone remember the character Renfield in Bram Stoker's
"Dracula"? Well, that's how I see Shrubby. He's just a Renfield to Cheney's blood sucking Count.

I mean, Bush runs around acting all big and bad like he's really running things, and do you ever see Cheney? Hell bells, we don't even know where he's at most of the time. He only surfaces occasionally to suck some more life out of the country and then he goes back into his coffin. Cheney is really running things, and every now and then he'll throw little Shrubby a fly (or let him travel around making a complete ass out of himself and embarrassing the rest of us) and all the while Cheney is somewhere sucking the lifeblood out of this country.

Happy Halloween to everyone.

I love Halloween.

1. The weak, cockroach-eating weasel?
Yeah, loved the guy. Thought he was at least as electable as Baghdad Bush.

by Tom Waits.
