Interesting pic, obviously shot the day Cheney was checking out how well his hand fit in that hole in the back of his next ventriloquist dummy. McCain hadn't been through the procedure before, hence his evident discomfort. I'm sure W will give him tips to ease his transition into his new role, should McCain win.

Cheney must have some serious hate goin' on McCain to curse him with his endorsement.

I wonder if McCain is planning to key Dick's car or something in retaliation. Because who would want to get saddled with something like a Cheney endorsement less than 3 days from election day?

Okay not to be a Cheney apologist or anything, but I thought the endorsement was worded quite... sensibly and not all "don't vote for the socialist/abortioinist/black man OOGA BOOGA!!"

But yeah... anyone who would take his endorsement to heart is probably already voting McCain/Palin.

Shit, there goes the robot vote seeing as how Cheney is mostly made of metal.

You know Cheney was just sitting on his porch one day, and it hit him "The American people need to hear from meeee", so he set down his rifle, put on a suit, and went to find some reporters.

Does anyone else think this could be a kind of undermine-y backstabby endorsement on Cheney's part? He's surely aware that he's the most hated man in America, and he and McCain have never been buddies.

@BeckySharper: He's being a dick.

Seriously, either he's a megolomaniac or he's just f*cking with McCain on purpose.

In what is perhaps the most unwanted endorsement of all time"

Actually, some terrorist group (was it REALLY Al-qaeda? Can't remember if the article says, "Yes, it's definitely them" or not) supposedly endorsed McCain b/c they think the GOP's trigger-happy tendencies towards perpetual war will exhaust and (continue to) bankrupt this country...

[www.washingtonpost.com]

What a crazy notion, huh?!

@maude_flanders: Ah I was wondering if we'd here from Osama and his cronies. If you recall, his endorsement of Kerry in 2004 did a lot of damage. If he'd come out in favour of Obama I worry about what the crazies would have thought.

Nice to see they're speaking honestly for once, I expected greater sophistication and manipulation from Al-Qaeda, i.e. "we'll endorse Obama, that will make more people vote for McCain, and we'll get to watch America take itself down politically, economically, militarily and morally in Iraq, while we enjoy our peace relatively undisturbed over here in Afghanistan."

Or something like that ...

@SydneyGal: I really think that's what the 2004 "endorsement" was - reverse psychology that all too many fell for -- because why on Earth would Al-Qaeda think that the American people would vote for the candidate they wanted? You know? I just don't think they're quite that clueless.

@maude_flanders: It wasn't quite an endorsement quite so much as saying "Hey, do you like the global Jihad? If so, you'll love John McCain because that shit's going to kick it up a notch."

But yeah, I don't think this is really going to help or hurt him all that much. The two assholes that still like Dick Cheney were already voting against "that one" and the undecideds are too dumb to know who Dick Cheney is.

Well, I thought a Cheney endorsement for McCain was inevitable - after all, he and Sarah Palin are both such big fans of shooting things in the face.

I've always wondered how Mr. Cheney was able to cleverly disguise the tail and horns so well.

@Private Hangnail: he has to have them removed periodically (they grow back), that's why he spends so much time at an undisclosed location.
