4. Who is this "cheney f*cker"??

Why would anyone care what this darth vader calls for? Is he a vp someplace that I don't know of? Is he even a politician in our government? NO! He's a washed up, evil son-of-a-bitch who has done more damage to this country than anyone since Hitler has been able to do to a nation.

This sappy old dried up prune needs to go have a stroke in the hot sun someplace. I am really tired of seeing his ugly mug and listening to his secretive and evil voice rumbling from the depths of hell. He needs to go away and roast in hell, if in fact it is waiting for HIM!!
