WASHINGTON, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Vice President Dick Cheney canceled trips to New Mexico and Wyoming to help with financial bailout legislation in Congress, his spokeswoman said on Friday.

"Due to the current situation in the U.S. capital markets, the vice president has decided to cancel his previously scheduled trips to New Mexico and Wyoming so he can assist with the pending legislation on Capitol Hill," Megan Mitchell, spokeswoman for Cheney, said.

5. Damn

that ass munch should be the LAST person to be there! He ain't coming for some leftover crumbs, that's for sure. What a fucking circus this is turning out to be.

6. Well I guess it is about time for him to dust off the old shotgun and make a few visits on the Hill

How else can he insure his buddies get their hundreds of billions of $$$$ ??

11. Could just be me...

But I'm thinking the jackasses who helped CAUSE this problem (Cheney, McCain, etc) should stay the hell away from those trying to solve it.

[Virginia Dare]

12. It's pretty clear now who Cheney's been working for all along..

FYI Cheney looks like death warmed over. He's lost at least 20 pounds lately, he looks gaunt, like he's walking the Green Mile, so I guess this is his swan song.

13. Uh-oh - get out the bullet-proof face maskes - Cheney is gonna start peppering

:eyes:

14. Cheney's Big Book of Secrets

You mean he's got the balls to show up after his last mugging? I guess he'll be bringing his big, black notebook that has all the dirt the FBI and all the other alphabet soup agencies have been putting together on every member of Congress since this fascist regime seized control of the government? He must have left it at home last time he came calling on Congress.

They ought to hang him upside down from the top of the rotunda.

16. Let me guess...

... anyone who does not support the Wall Street bail out gets sentenced to a hunting trip

[mbperrin]

17. There's lots of reasons to oppose this bailout to nowhere, but this

is a real little item: if Bush and Cheney want ANYTHING, why should I?

???????????

[unkachuck]

18. man....

"...if Bush and Cheney want ANYTHING, why should I?"

....I hear ya....for the first time in my adult life I find myself sharing a similar political position with the uber-fascist right-wing of the puke party....and it's extremely uncomfortable....although I've come to this position, like you, for different reasons....

....since the big-boner opposes the bailout, I should be for it....yet bushco wants the bailout, therefore I should be against it....things are getting curiouser and curiouser....

19. This is probably a good thing. Innocent animals will not have to die.
