Darth Cheney still bloodsucking the American taxpayers
Edited on Wed Jul-22-09 05:29 PM by theHandpuppet
So the old bastid needs more protection because he's so afraid and the American taxpayers will be footing the bill for this crap. If Darth feels he needs protection, then by gum he has millions of dollars of his own that he can use to pay for it!

Cheney's Secret Service Protection Extended
(AP )
Updated 2:53 p.m. ET

An extension of Secret Service protection for former vice president Dick Cheney – authorized by President Obama – officially went into effect this week, CBSNews.com has confirmed.

The New York Daily News first reported the story.

It is standard for taxpayers to pay for six months of Secret Service protection for former vice presidents. Cheney requested an extension of that protection, however, and the president granted his request. The former vice president will now have at least another six months of protection.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano signed an order to extend Cheney's detail on July 17th, according to the Secret Service. The Daily News says friends of the former vice president "have said he has become more concerned about his privacy and personal safety in recent years."

1. Can't we just seal him in his bunker with duct tape?
I'll even pay for the damn tape myself!

2. I'll pitch in with a roll of plastic
Now all he needs is a port-a-potty and a pinup of Ann Coulter.

3. Cheney is spending what he thinks is HIS money. He thinks HE owns the country.

4. Now, we wouldn't want anything to happen to him
. . . before he's tried for war crimes.

Make sure he's not hiding any cyanide, too. We wouldn't want him to cheat the hangman.
