Confirmed: Cheney will participate in RNC Convention.
After rampant speculation that he would be left off the roster of speakers at the GOP convention, Vice President Cheney’s office has confirmed that Cheney will indeed attend and speak. Cheney’s office has released the following statement:
The Vice President looks forward to participating in the Republican National Convention and continuing to work for the election of Senator McCain and other Republican candidates in the coming months.
Update The AP reports that Cheney "plans to speak on the first night of the convention in St. Paul, Minn., the same Monday night that President Bush will speak."

Darth Cheney will probably be a color commentator for FoxSnooze at the RNC convention. That’s his idea of “participation”.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:47 amWhy not? Cheney’s the poster child for criminal, lying, ba$tards.

A suggestion for Parodyll:
Although you are looking forward to some “tap tap tapping” in a Minnesota men’s restroom, I would stay clear of this DICK! Because a “shot in the face” may not just be a sexual metaphor.
Just sayin’.

August 8th, 2008 at 10:56 amClassic!
Did the Republicans hire a script writer from Police Story for this lunacy? Stock up on popcorn folks, ’cause it’s gonna be amusing, to say the least.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:57 amImpeach Pelosi, Cheney and Bush and Save the Constitution!
You mean like when we speculated that there were no wmd in Iraq and you said there were?
August 8th, 2008 at 11:00 amthat’s no confirmation. He just looks forward to it, like I look forward to an orgy with the Raiderettes.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:01 amBut he’s only appearing between 2am and 4 am. That’s when Lying Sack of Sh-t Vampires (crawl out of their underground Paranoid-filled bunkers)-
that Trample on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights appear…
God, do I despise this vermin.

This is like going to a fight & a hockey game breaks out.
Will Pawlenty be picked for VP?..we have a saying here in MN…
‘Living With Less in the Land of Pawlenty’
August 8th, 2008 at 11:02 amWill Pawlenty be picked for VP?
I live in “the land of Pawlenty”, too. I am sure hoping that he gets the nod for VP. That will surely bring a quick end to his political career.

August 8th, 2008 at 11:14 amcheney represents all that is wrong with America, that’s why republicans like him.
Your win at any cost attitude has trickled down to our public schools and into everyday life.
Why not admit that your gambit has run it’s course and you have lost or are you not a big enough person to admit to losing even if you cheated, lied and stole your way to success?
August 8th, 2008 at 11:15 amWonderful. May Cheney have roughly the same effect on the Republican presidential campaign as Buchanan had at the 1988 convention.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:15 amsorry dennis,
i forgot all about
dick’s viet nam war record.
(you could get started there.)

four, no five deferments, right?

thank you.

August 8th, 2008 at 11:16 amLet me fix that for you dennis:
Dick Cheney is a frigging liar and a lowlife. Making a lot of money off the first Gulf War, and lying to get the US into the illegal Iraq War. Plus two terms as VP with a less than stellar President as an even less stellar VP. I think it’s safe to say he’ll be well-received. Republicans tend to like liars and lowlifes.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:18 amThank heaven they moved the surprise attack on Iran up or back, so Cheney could be with his Red counterparts. If they moved it up, it could be a spoiler for the DNC event in Denver. That is, if the Democrats don’t spoil it themselves with all that inner harping.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:19 amHypercompetitive people never admit loss. You’re wasting your time with Dennis.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:22 amaccidents happen.
Drunk and hiding from police for 24 hours is NOT an accident.

August 8th, 2008 at 11:33 amWill the RNC honor the Bush clan like the Chinese did at Opening Ceremonies?

August 8th, 2008 at 11:33 amActually, it will be a simul-speech, W will sit on Cheney’s lap and deliver the speech. You should not be able to observe any movement of Dick’s lips.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:34 amhey denny,
maybe “dead eye” dick
can speak to the convention
about republican family values.

people who honestly want to add to the conversation with intellectual and thought provoking statements
LIKE THIS??? STUPID HYPOCRITE, WILL YOU EVER LEARN WHY NOBODY TAKES THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SERIOUS ANYMORE????
With this late notice, I wonder if Cheney will have enough time now to come up with a hand gesture to counter the wildly popular Obama salute.
You’re a pathetic fcukwit, no doubt.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:51 amYay!
This must be seen to be GOOD for McStain. Why, it’ll probably propel him on to victory, to have a guy with 11% approval ratings on the same stage!

last one I saw was about 6 months or more ago he was at %18.
Did they stop asking?
Btw, where are all the Republican McCain supporters that his website asked to come over here to “spread the word”?

But of course , only at night…………..The sun tends to do awful things to vampires.
August 8th, 2008 at 12:15 pmWHAT ??
Did anyone think that the ego-maniac would dare miss the opportunity to reinterate his talking points and “pack of lies?”
Even for this register REPUBLICAN, Cheney is a smug bastard.
August 8th, 2008 at 12:19 pmJust talk, no substance. Just like all republicans, you say it like you believe it and maybe someone else will.
Remember, republicans invented dirty tricks and slander and are proud of it as a tool. Too bad they don’t have a legitimate platform to run on and are left with nothing but to say the other guy is bad, black, popular, intelligent, ect. and still think that’s a case for your guy.

Let me fix that for you,
Republicans tend to like liars, thieves, cheats, perverts and war profiteers.
Dick pretty much has got it covered, except for the pervert part. There were rumors that the D.C Madam had him on her list…but she committed suicide, like the guy who allegedly sent the anthrax to Cheney’s enemies, Daschle and Leahy.

Great, the McCain army has arrived to “spread the word”.
Is that the best you can do?
August 8th, 2008 at 12:26 pmYou guys used to be so much better with the false outrage in the past.
You really are slipping.
I saw a movie recently titled “Vantage Point.” It made me wonder if Bush and/or Cheney use doubles at their public appearances.

Republicans and their imbecilic backers tend to like criminals more………Just look at the last 5 garbage GOP presidencies for further proof.
August 8th, 2008 at 12:41 pmWinning isn’t everything unless you are a republican. That’s why our schools are in such a mess. Sports and the will at all cost attitude.
Ghengis Khan was a winner too and I’m sure he would be well received at the republican convention too.

Flavorino Says: There were rumors that the D.C Madam had him on her list…
I was under the impression that you guys recently have had a sudden epiphany and didn’t care much for unfounded rumors of sexual trysts. Didn’t you get the memo, Flavius? You are so, like, 2 weeks ago.
1.) You must be confusing me with somebody else.
August 8th, 2008 at 1:00 pm2.) I have no idea what you are talking about. Memo?!?
You got a memo?!?
3.) It ain’t so much about the sexual tryst. That stuff is common everyday human behaviour.
It’s more about the suicides. Look into the D.C. Madam’s suicide. It’s very odd for various reasons. I like a good conspiracy story for entertainment purposes, if nothing else.
There’s plenty of evidence on Cheney on other concrete things.
What I said is just for my own entertainment.
BTW, As a troll, you’re not very good.
I hear Wal-mart is hiring>

Aside from the Registered Democrat terrorist ‘anthrax killer’, Bruce Ivins, he’s kept you safe, McMetal. You and your family and me and my family.
Safe, McM.
Safe enough to allow you to say and think whatever you want to about him, and same with me.
August 8th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
Oh really ?
Guess that small incident on 9/11 , 8 miles from my home , doesn’t count , eh dipshit ?
BTW
What kind of a coward are you , that you laughably believe a 5 deferrment pansy and a military deserting AWOL chickenshit are capable of “protecting” anyone ?
When word got out that America was under attack on 9/11 , Cheney ran and hid in some far off , undisclosed bunker ; truly reminscent of Rambo there………..
August 8th, 2008 at 1:48 pmBTW dipshit
Ivins was a Registered Republican , you lying sack of shit ; and anyone who believes he was working alone , or was the sole perpetrator of those Anthrax attacks is nothing more than a GOP/Chimpy nut hugging stooge like yourself……..

If he was a Republican, that is. Which he’s not.
That and you definitely wouldn’t be calling him a patsy, either.
August 8th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Just like his therapist coming out now to claim he was ‘dangerous’ ; odd that he’s now a danger , considering he’s dead.
BTW dipshit
I noticed you completely over-looked your ‘gaffe’ that 9/11 was allowed to occur under Chimpy and Cheney……..
August 8th, 2008 at 2:42 pmIt’s gonna take a lot of fans to get the smell of sulphur out of the air when he leaves.
August 8th, 2008 at 2:51 pmHis Secret Service nickname is Edgar, as in Edgar Bergen. Guess who the dummy is.
August 8th, 2008 at 2:56 pmI like to hear that Republicans like Cheney. With an approval rating of 11%, that would indicate how many Repugnicunts there are out there.
Sorry I forgot, they are all “Independents” now.
The one good thing about the Bush/Cheney pResidency, they have exposed the Regugnicant Party for what it is, the oozing black core of a rotten onion.
August 8th, 2008 at 3:48 pmWill they be giving their speeches in unison (Chimpy and Gimpy),like one on one side of the stage and one on the other? Or, maybe the gimpy one will come with his hunting attire in search of that lame duck that has yet to fulfill his plan of totally destabilizing the planet by attacking Iran.
I can see it now, Gimpy eliminates the lame duck and the chorus breaks into song–Bomb bomb bomb; bomb bomb bomb Iran! Cheney names himself chief executive forever and picks McCain for his Veep. O8ama who?
