Dick Cheney To Help Fred Thompson Pick Running Mate
Dick Cheney To Help Fred Thompson Pick Running Mate

The Fred Thompson lint roller has picked up even more Bush-Cheney insiders, including Cheney’s non-lesbian daughter and Middle East fucker-upper Liz Cheney. Joel Shin — “a top policy staffer on George W. Bush’s presidential campaign in 2000” — and Bill Frist foreign-affairs guy Mark Esper have also joined the not-quite-official Thompson campaign.

With a whole bunch of Bush-Cheney criminals and idiots already aboard, Fred Thompson is all set to be Dick Cheney’s next president. Two grumpy old baldheaded fascists for the price of one!

So, America, enjoy the next seventeen months of kabuki or bukkake or whatever. None of it matters. On November 5 or whenever the Supreme Court makes the final decision, you will either get another eight years of Cheney or another eight years of Clinton.

3. Are there term limits on the Veep?
Edited on Wed Jun-13-07 04:29 AM by krispos42
Oh my fucking God, think of it... we all know that Cheney is the real power behind Bush. Cheney became the Veep candidate after vetting other candidates for Bush.

What if this is to set himself up for another VP run, you know... "to help through these difficult times. Don't want to change horses in mid-stream. Provide some continuity. It's absolutely critial in the global war on terror..."

Then he gets another term or two being the real power behind the Oval Office. As he has to do is suggest to Fred "hey, since I'm already here..."

:scared:

4. Oh. My. God.
We remember, of course, that Cheney was Bush's choice to help him select a running mate. Then when Dick was all through vetting the VP possibilities, he chose... himself. So one figures, he might do the same thing here. EEEEEEEKKK!

Well the good news is, the way it's looking right now, the Democratic candidates should take the White House. I'm not sure the world can survive another 4, much less 8 years with Dick at the helm.

5. So it appears that F. Thompson will be the Freeper choice for
the continuation of Reagan/Bush/Bush legacy.

Great.

6. Oh, please, Fred, keep tying yourself to Cheney--make him your running mate!
I can't think of any advisory decisions that could damage his candidacy more than being mentored by Mr. 12% Approval Rating. Not even Rudy McRomney are dumb enough to tie themselves this closely to Big Time and his Pet Chimp--they are wisely distancing themselves from this admin.
