the correct pronounciation of Cheney is CHEEEney

[radfringe]

have heard we've all been mispronouncing CHENEY's name...and he's been getting a chuckle out of it

according to Thom Hartman and other sources, the correct pronounciation is Not CHAIN-ney, it's CHEEE-ney

this means my little chant will now rhyme:

Don't be a weenie
Impeach bush and CHEEE-ney

1. I thought it was pronounced:

ahs-ho-ul

[radfringe]

2. I think that's his double super-secret service name when

he's not part of the executive branch

4. Or Sneak-ey

[Aviation Pro]

3. Or maybe....

...Dick Cheee-ney's weee-ney is a really small peee-nie, which is why he owns so many large caliber guns.

5. Tweety's been doing that for years now...

he's just so smart. I figured that he was correct but no one wants to imitate him b/c he's such a slob. Tweety that is.

7. I bet one of the Darth's minions contacted Tweety about the mispronunciation and

Tweetie has since towed the line.

6. He is just dick to me!!

8. THE dick to me

9. I bet he doesn't chuckle

I bet it pisses him off. I know it pisses me off when others mispronounce my last name. I shall continue to pronounce it CHAIN-ney. :)

10. Not "NEY" - It's chee-NEE. I heard wingnut Alan SIMPSON say it on Tweety's show

2 or 3 yrs ago, saying that he has been a close friend of the Dick for scores of years and that the pronunciation was CHEE-NEE. Tweety didn't start using it until some time later.

I started using CHEENEE soon after SIMPSON said that, just because it sounds rougher and ruder than CHAINY. Long before Tweety, but realizing I'm nobody and Tweety is Somebody!!1
