Cheney: I’m the ‘flavor of the month.’
In the new book The Evangelical President, the Washington Examiner’s Bill Sammon writes that Vice President Cheney isn’t sure whether or not he’ll be remembered throughout history. “It may be because nobody can remember the earlier vice presidents. I’ll let the historians worry about that.” He joked that he is more likely the “flavor of the month.”

He joked that is more likely the “the flavor of the month.â€
September 24th, 2007 at 11:01 amYeah, and it smells like a lying pile of shit!
really? i didnt know sh*t was a flavor.....
September 24th, 2007 at 11:04 amHe doesn't give a sh*t if he's remembered or not. Not enough money in "being remembered".
September 24th, 2007 at 11:04 amOh, you will be remembered, have no fear of that...
September 24th, 2007 at 11:05 am... of the century, i fear...
and it's only just begun...
September 24th, 2007 at 11:06 am.
poop falvored vp, ick
September 24th, 2007 at 11:07 amNevar beat me to it, but yeah Cheney will be remembered. Especially if they truly start investigating his sorry ass.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:08 amI don't find this flavor palatable... it makes me want to spit...
September 24th, 2007 at 11:08 amSo now Cheney is saying things like "when (Bush) recruited me into this job"? He's either spinning or has amnesia -- Cheney appointed himself into that job. He was the head of the search committee and the "search" turned up...himself.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:09 amOh, he'll be remembered all right.
Just not in a way he'll be happy with.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:11 amDick "Highlander" Cheney will be remembered for centuries by the future generations of Americans who will be left to clean up the mess he's made.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:11 amI wonder how many artificial flavors are made from
September 24th, 2007 at 11:14 ampetroleum by- products?
Cheney has expanded the Veep office far beyond anything the Founders had in mind. His own suite of offices, own staff, own budget, and apparently his own branch of government.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:18 amThe psychology of this is rich. Bush and Cheney brush aside any talk of their legacy as if it matters not one wit to them, yet continually engage journalists on the subject. They're like pubescent teens exchanging furtive glances across the classroom, then denying they have any interest.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:19 ami've always thought that "the search" for VP was a ruse...
September 24th, 2007 at 11:24 amjust a "go through the motions" act...
the plan was always to put cheney in charge...
is what i think...
.
Some of his thirty one flavors:
September 24th, 2007 at 11:25 amDeviled rotten egg,
Profiteerole,
Death Angel Mushroom souffle,
Rattlesnake (tastes like chicken?),
Yellow uranium cake,
Sucker punch,
crumby cake,
Poison Apple Pie
....

September 24th, 2007 at 11:30 amYou win, Zooey, think I'll go get some breakfast now... ;)
September 24th, 2007 at 11:32 amHe's lime jello with bits of haggis.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:33 amMade ya hungry for walrus carcass, didn't I? :D
September 24th, 2007 at 11:33 amNot one bad tasting Dick joke yet.

September 24th, 2007 at 11:38 amI think that flavor is malevolence, with a dash of greed.
September 24th, 2007 at 11:38 amGood Morning, Great Lady!
I'm heading out for the bus. Too bad, cuz i'm thinking of lots more gross stuff.....
September 24th, 2007 at 11:39 amThanks but even I'll pass. That road would get me banned for sure.

A unique creature, a unicorn, if you will...
September 24th, 2007 at 12:13 pmHe's a flavor only his Uncle Satan will enjoy.
September 24th, 2007 at 12:51 pmAnd soon.
One spoonful and you know what EVIL tastes like. No thanks Darth.
September 24th, 2007 at 1:00 pmHmmm. What flavor would I call a "Cheney" flavor?
September 24th, 2007 at 1:24 pmHow about "Old Crusty Cancerberry".
Or "Rancid Death On A Stick".
Or "Pus Filled Boil Creme Pie".
I WISH he was only the "flavor of the month". Instead, we got him for eight years (not counting his government work before the veep gig, and not counting the long lasting damage he will leave behind).
Yes, he's the first sitting vice president to shoot another person since Aaron Burr. But he will be remembered for so much more than that.
September 24th, 2007 at 1:57 pmThat cake looks like it's laden with trans fat. Dick should be more careful in his condition.
September 24th, 2007 at 2:20 pmah dickie we hardly knew ye.
September 24th, 2007 at 2:32 pmGeez, that's a scary picture. Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Cheney with a sword, and they are all smiling. At least I think Cheney is smiling, although whatever in hell is wrong with his face makes it hard to tell when he is smiling and when he is sneering.
September 24th, 2007 at 2:36 pmflavor of ass, more like.
