I just noticed: There's no Cheney in the Bush ads

[WillyBrandt]

I don't even know that he's mentioned.

Funny that!

[Stephanie]

1. I think you're the first one to notice that.

I haven't heard it mentioned.

[pansypoo53219]

2. just in case

plaime and/or death.

[jeanmarc]

3. heh, just put Edwards on the ticket

I've tried long and hard to find a candidate that would guarantee us Ohio, but have found no such candidate. Edwards is smart, good looking, and one of the best and most eloquent speakers that we have. He would destroy Cheney in a debate.

[thebigidea]

4. they probably actually showed a picture of him to a focus group

who all replied: "Mommy, I'm scared."

[coloradodem2005]

14. Dick Cheney. Before he Dicks you.

God that is one scary picture of one scary muthafucker.

[BradCKY]

5. There is no Cheney

Almost anywhere in public usually. :)

[nefarious]

6. They're playing good cop - bad cop with the American public

BushCo campaigns have always been about false flattery of the American public. Karl just can't see Dick making people feel good about themselves.

[KissMyAsscroft]

7. Exactly...

Provide the alternative themself and you won't go looking for one in the Democratic Party.

That's why I've been so pissed of about the McCain/Powell worship I see around hear.

It's a game, and we are getting played if we don't wise the hell up.

[politick]

8. Good eye!

Cheney is nothing but liability to BushCo, and I would be surprised if they didn't dump him, or if he doesn't bow out for "health reasons".

Cheney does them NO good with the public, whatsoever.

[Stephanie]

9. get real, politick

I am quite sure nobody dumps Cheney but Cheney. Cheney's the puppetmaster, Cheney's the whole show.

[grytpype]

10. "Where's Dick?"

Great observation. Let's all ask, "Where's Dick? Why's Dick not in the commercials?"

[Stephanie]

12. What kind of a campaign are they running here? No Dick?

I wouldn't be satisfied with that if I were a republican.

[pacifictiger]

11. they're hedging

their bets on whether to re-allocate his position probably.

[AndyTiedye]

13. "Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Curtain!"

[thebigidea]

16. speaking of:

[KharmaTrain]

15. The Dickster's Very Visible...Check The AEI

He's out of the hidey hole and digging in donor pockets all over the place...saying day is night and war is good to those who have made billions off of this regime. Of course the "little people" won't see him, since he doesn't care about them and neither do the people he really represents.

We know Chenney is the man behind that curtain and is role is to keep the NeoCons and military-industrials on board. This seems as important to this regime as its own survival. Thus his importance can't be understimated and there's no way * will dump him. Just two weeks ago Lester Holt asked him point blank on that question and Chenney smuggly said "I was the one who decided to get on this ticket in 2000 and I'll serve as long as the pResident needs me"...read between the line folks.

Only Chenney will decide if he goes...and I'd prefer to keep in in semi-sight as VP than to slip into the netherworld regions of this cabal (where Perle, Wolfowitz and other reside) where we have no idea of what he's doing and his power remains undiminished.

[democrank]

17. Maybe Cheney simply wasn`t available.

He may have been attending a wildlife massacre with one of The Supremes.

[Disturbed]

18. Shhhhh

It's a secrete between just us. Crashcart Chainey is the Pres. Shrub just play acts. Crappy actor aint he? Poppa bought the role or him 'cause Moma insisted. Aint the Bush Crime Family just as good as the Sopranos?

[Jacobin]

19. Man behind the curtain

[BiggJawn]

20. You need to watch the whole ad.

I know, the gag reflex is very strong....
At the end, it says on the screen "Paid for by Bush/Cheney '04"

Only the Grim Reaper can spare us the TinMan...

[gulliver]

21. Guess we need to find a place for him in our ads!

Good catch!

[htuttle]

22. Bush has an invisible Dick.

That's why you can't see him in the ads.

[kentuck]

23. Very observant...

Do they plan on keeping Cheney on the ticket until the election is over?

[Media_Lies_Daily]

24. He was in an undisclosed location.
