LOL.....Cheney pulls back muscle, in wheelchair for inauguration!!
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 10:58 PM by KansasVoter
Classic!

US Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back while moving boxes and will be in a wheelchair for Tuesday's historic inauguration of incoming president Barack Obama, the White House said.
"Vice President Cheney pulled a muscle in his back today while moving boxes into his new house," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.
"Under his physician's recommendation, the vice president will be in a wheelchair for the next couple of days, including for tomorrow's inauguration."

5. "where's my birthday cake?"
I know I'll be beat to the Mr Potter references so I figured I'd head that off at the pass with the Creepshow reference.

7. I heard this in the car on the way home and laughed so hard
I could have been in an accident.

Guess the paper shredders couldn't get to it all - moving computers and piles of paper?

14. and just where is this new house?
It can't be far from his bunker. I don't believe this. Trying to move his secrets without any witnesses. He waited a little late didn't he?

18. I second your call. Total, 100% BS. The jackass just doesn't want to stand up in honor of Obama.
Are we REALLY supposed to believe that a man with heart troubles and a built-in defibrillator was "moving boxes"???? He didn't even bother to come up with a half-credible lie, so contemptuous is he of the American people and Obama in particular.

I can only hope his doctor insisted on inserting a catheter too, to complete the "verisimilitude" of this farce!

13. Oh! to be the person who leaves him at the top of a hill with the wheelchair brakes off.
Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 11:23 PM by slampoet

16. Just wondering
are they gonna bump him down all those stairs toward the podium? Gosh, during the 4 or 5 times I've thrown my back out, the LEAST comfortable position was sitting, standing was the best.

20. It is his heart, not his back.
You can bet it is his heart and he is barely hanging on. His legs maybe paralyzed as well. There is a reason he spendt 8 years in the cave.
