6. Considering Cheney was suppose to oversee the
Office of National Preparedness, I would say his has a slight conflict of interest here. :eyes:

Therefore, I have asked Vice President Cheney to oversee the development of a coordinated national effort so that we may do the very best possible job of protecting our people from catastrophic harm. I have also asked Joe Allbaugh, the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, to create an Office of National Preparedness. This office will be responsible for implementing the results of those parts of the national effort overseen by Vice President Cheney that deal with consequence management. Specifically it will coordinate all federal programs dealing with weapons of mass destruction consequence management within the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Justice, and Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other federal agencies. The Office of National Preparedness will work closely with state and local governments to ensure their planning, training, and equipment needs are addressed. FEMA will also work closely with the Department of Justice, in its lead role for crisis management, to ensure that all facets of our response to the threat from weapons of mass destruction are coordinated and cohesive. I will periodically chair a meeting of the National Security Council to review these efforts.

7. If nothing else
the sight of him will scare all those people out of New Orleans that don't want to leave. Or maybe his icy stare will freeze the flood water and the people will be able to ice skate out.

9. photo of Cheney's "makeshift encampment"
the VP raced to the Gulf Coast in Naples, Florida and immediately called a press conference to announce that he was amazed at all the progress that's been made since the hurricane ... "Even the colored boys walking around with those little cocktail franks said they weren't having any problems getting food or fresh water" Vice President Cheney noted. The VP said he planned to continue "surveying the damage for another week or two."

"It's great to see what Americans can accomplish when they put their noses to the grindstone. This place looks more like a luxury resort than a storm-ravaged city." The VP had to cut our interview short because he had scheduled a massage therapy session to, as he put it, "evaluate the available medical services in the community."

Pictured here is VP Cheney's "makeshift encampment" on the Gulf Coast:

Yeah, thanks Darth. Just what they need is to look at your scowling face.
