Wonkette| Dick Cheney: Kind of an Asshole

[Rose Siding]

A little more from Vanity Fair’s upcoming Cheney feature. In this installment, Cheney demonstrates his famous sense of humor and Nixonian paranoia:

Purdum reports that Cheney travels with a chemical-biological suit at all times. When he gave his friend Robin West and his twin children a ride to the White House a couple of years ago, West commented on the fact that Cheney’s motorcade varied its daily path. “And he said, ‘Yeah, we take different routes so that “The Jackal” can’t get me,’” West tells Purdum. “And then there was this big duffel bag in the middle of the backseat, and I said, ‘What’s that? It’s not very roomy in here.’ And said, ‘No, because it’s a chemical-biological suit,’ and he looked at it and said, ‘Robin, there’s only one. You lose.’”

Oh, that’s cute joke. Real charmer, that one.

Our question: In what universe does Dick “Salting his Buffalo Steak” Cheney think he’ll be able to get himself into a chemical-biological suit in the event of a chemical-biological attack? And could we please see video of him trying?

3. I'm supposed to believe that

A) Those SUVs aren't hardened against attacks, including RPGs - a feature which Mercedes will sell to anyone with enough cash
B) They aren't equipped with positive-pressure air filtration systems in case of chemical attacks
C) If either of those systems were breached, Dick Cheney would been in
1)Any physical condition to put on a chemical suit
2)Even have time to drag his old ass inside one of those suits - inside an SUV

Or maybe Dick Cheney really is just an asshole :shrug:
