Cheney to Skip Republican Convention

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Source: ABC

Dick Cheney has plans for the end of August, but those plans don’t include going to the Republican convention in Tampa.

In fact, while his party gathers to formally nominate Mitt Romney for President, Cheney will be out of the country.

He tells me he is going fishing – in Canada.

“I’ve got a fishing trip planned that week,” Cheney told me. “I’ve done a lot of conventions over the years, but this is a special trip I’ve been planning on for a long time.”

The GOP is too embarrassed to run on their record of failures.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton is being given second billing only to Obama at the DNC in Charlotte.

1. Deficits Don't Matter - Cheney

He should come to the convention and tell the assembled liars what he said back when he was in power.

No wonder they don't want him anywhere close to their liar's orgy.

[Politicalboi]

2. I hope they try and arrest this POS

It's really a shame to know he has a new lease on life with a new heart. That heart was wasted on this piece of shit.

[pepito]

8. now

your talking!! ,yes,yes pretty please

[KoKo]

3. We all know he has to "fly to his coffin" in the night...

So...it's bedtime for him when the Repug Convention gets into full swing.

In his coffin in the place he stays on the Maryland shore.........down the road from Rumsfeld in their respective "Castles."

If you get my drift.

19. +1,000

But I guess his next trip will be to Paraguay to advise the new gummint down there selling it all off. At least he's not quail hunting. Some hapless lackey would have to apologize for putting his face in front of his gun.

4. But I thought John McCain did the better Penquin. Here, look see...

5. Cheney to Romney

"Go fuck yourself!"

[DavidDvorkin]

6. He's afraid it will be too exciting for his new heart.

[tabasco]

7. The corporate masters really want Americans

to forget the Bush/Cheney reign of error.

9. Didn't Herr Cheney ...

some time, about a year ago, get kind of told that if he went to Canada he may be jailed. I know about him not going to Germany or Spain, but I think that the same thing happened in Canada.

Onward Mounties!

10. Aww, is poor widdle Dickie gonna cry?

You crawled out of you widdle hole and talked to the media, and all those mean people either laughed, ignored you, or threw up? Well, you just go on your little trip and fix them good! And be sure to say "God bless Canada" when you say your prayers because that's the ONLY foreign country you can go to!

P.S. Cue the DU "Cry Me A River" String Quartet!

33. What an asshole!!

Does anyone know if Canada can arrest this guy for war crimes while he's there??? Too bad "W" ain't gonna be there also..Catch them both on the same "HOOK"..

[marmar]

11. He has to oversee construction of the new Death Star.

[RedStateLiberal]

15. hehehe

[chknltl]

22. So he will be accompanied by lieberman.

I wasn't aware Joe knew anything about fishing.

[Big Orange Jeff]

12. He has "other priorities"

nt

[jimlup]

13. Can't the Canadians just arrest him?

I mean seriously? He's a war criminal and nothing less. They should throw his ass in the slammer and send him to The Hague.

[Maynar]

16. The last time he was here, we nearly lynched him

figuratively speaking, of course. Since then, he has refused to return, citing Canada as "Too Dangerous."

http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/03/12/dick-cheney-cancels-toronto-trip-says-canada-is-too-dangerous/

I wonder if he'll really show up? Does he have a bigger security phalanx? Or is it all just bullshit?

Enquiring protesters want to know.

[Kolesar]

14. I wonder if the Romney camp told him to stay away

Since most Americans hate him, his appearance would not help the candidate.

[dimbear]

28. That would be it. Other point: Romney wants all the attention.

You don't get that rich without wanting things bad.

[riverwalker]

17. Eagle River, Labrador

bet thats where he's going. He's been there before. Go to chapter on Gulf War. (Can't copy paste Googlebooks)

18. Cheney doesn't want to show the world who is really going to be running things if Romney wins.

Cheney ran the presidency in Bush's first term. GeeDubya grew some stones in his second term and fired Rumsfeld and put Cheney on a leash giving more power to Rice and Powell.

Cheney is evil. The world will be a brighter happier place when he's gone.

[MrMickeysMom]

21. So many evil things to be prosecuted for... so much more time before death now...

I can only hope he's going to "get what he gives"... If the law of Karma can't do him the favor, then there's something seriously missing in the universe.

[rockingirl]

20. prison

war criminals should be arrested and imprisoned. new heart should make him able to spend even more time in prison.

[SoapBox]

23. Maybe he'll spend all his time at the STRIP CLUBS...

...saw on Young Turks about the bracing in Tampa during the GOPBagger convention,
for the rush to the strip clubs! Even better was the discussion about the flood of business
during the "Faith Keepers" (60-70,000 all male) convention in Tampa.

Oh yes...Family Values it is!

[DCKit]

29. Don't forget to check the M4M listings on Craigslist while they're in town.

Last time they came to DC en masse, they stressed the Craigslist servers to the brink and nearly broke the Internet.

[sofa king]

24. Well, someone has to babysit George.

[liberaltrucker]

25. Breaking: "Dick sits out clusterfuck"

[Peepsite]

[Capt. Obvious]

36. Fishing?

So who is he going to hook in the face? And will they apologize for getting in the way of his hook?
