McCain On Whether Cheney Might Serve In His Administration: "Hell, Yeah!"
NOT a "maverick". NOT "his own man". McCain = Bush = Cheney, America!


======

In an interview he gave to the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes in 2006 for Hayes’ biography, “Cheney: The Untold Story of America's Most Powerful and Controversial Vice President,” McCain said: “I will strongly assert to you that he has been of enormous help to this president of the United States.”

Going further, McCain even told Hayes in comments heretofore unpublished that he’d consider Cheney for an administration post.

Asked whether he’d be interested in Cheney had the vice president not already have served under Bush for two terms, McCain said: “I don’t know if I would want him as vice president. He and I have the same strengths. But to serve in other capacities? Hell, yeah.”

5. It wouldn't matter if he held the title of head White House janitor, he'd still be running things...
.... A permanent Cheney shadow government.

8. "...to serve in other capacities? Hell, yeah."D
Does that mean Cheney is going to be president?

Actually, the thought of Cheney "serving" reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode.

"To Serve Mankind" was the name of the episode, and the name of the book that the beneficent aliens brought with them to earth. There was nothing that they would not do: cure all disease, extend our lives ... even give us the chance to immigrate to their home system.

As earth's population was filing into the ships of these benefactors the protagonist, who had translated the rest of the book, rushed up screaming "STOP. STOP. It's a cookbook!"

BTW. I think this pix has been photoshopped, should not McSame's nose be buried between *'s nether cheeks?

9. Oh, beautiful. Thank you, John McCain. Now, let's show it over and over again, ad nauseum,
until the last 28-percenter gets the point.

And this is the VP who is not even going to attend the Republican Convention!!?!

14. I have that on one of my bumper sticker designs
saw that a few months ago and was disgusted to hear he'd not only consider putting tricky dick in, but responded with "hell yeah!" like it's a really good idea!

BLECHHHH!

16. Wow, dude
We really don't need your charity. We are going to wipe up the floor with you without you needing to help us out. We really have enough fodder, you don't need to provide more on a daily basis.
