| I don;t know, still kinda looks like Satan to me. |
A marble bust of former Vice President Dick Cheney was officially unveiled today in the U.S. Capitol. During a mid-day ceremony, Cheney was introduced by his former boss, President George W. Bush.
“I must confess I’m somewhat reluctant to come back to Washington. The last time I showed up here I was hanged in the White House,” Bush said in reference to his official portrait. “This time I’ve returned only to find my vice president getting busted in the Capitol.”
President Bush said that when he told his father, President George H.W. Bush, he would be attending today’s ceremony, “Dad perked up and he said, ‘Send my best regards to old iron-a**.’”
Well all I can say is that when tourists visit the Capital, and find themselves with a mouthful of saliva, now they know where to deposit it.
Not that I am advocating any type of vandalism, after all I'm pretty sure that is some kind of federal offense and I'm too pretty for prison, but you know some kind of gesture just to express your emotions at seeing this bust seems appropriate.
To be serious for a moment, Dick Cheney is a war criminal and traitor to this country. The only place he should be immortalized is on a list of the worst politicians in the history of the United States.
The sad thing is that Al Gore's bust is not there YET, and they rushed through getting this one on display. I'm not sure these are in public areas...I kind of think they are in the Congressional buildings, and not where normal people would be. And yes, both men are war criminals.
ReplyDeleteTo clarify, I'm sure by 'both men' you meant Cheney and Bush, not Al Gore.
DeleteYes!! Thank you!

How insulting that this arrogant piece of excrement jumped the line.
DeleteSo what happens to Al Gore's bust? Straight to storage? And why has it taken so long? It's been 12 years! I think Bush suppressed it because he knows he lost to Gore and didn't want a public reminder.
"Dick Cheney is a war criminal and traitor to this country. The only place he should be immortalized is on a list of the worst politicians in the history of the United States."
ReplyDeleteThey should have done the bust wearing prison stripes and behind bars. That would be the right representation of that dick.
Take a selfie giving that Dick the(a) FINGER in some FORM...
ReplyDeleteAnother worthy idea.
DeleteYou know that's exactly what's going to happen. People will selfie themselves making gestures or holding up small signs snarking on Cheney.

I know a vet that would love to piss on that thing from his wheel chair. He has a good aim.
DeleteThat is one Cheney that I'll bet doesn't stay lily white like it is today!
ReplyDeleteThey could reduce the national debt if they allowed people to pay $1 each to file buy and take a selfie giving him the finger or spitting on him.
DeleteKid you not.
I'd pay to do both.
The arrogance of the speeches of Bush and Dick fucking Cheney is shameful to us all. Why we have not arrested these TWO is WTF? It is on us...
ReplyDeleteSo, was the torture and sexual abuse under Cheney's regime at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere not so bad that Cheney gets a bust, but whatever Dennis Hastert did to some high school kid bad enough to foster $3 million shut-up bucks so awful that Paul Ryan's first act as Speaker is to remove Hastert's official portrait...?
ReplyDeleteWhy does that Jagoff DICK cheny get a fucking statue?
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is happening in this country?
He posed while taking a shit. What an odd choice. Or it may be Satan has a sense of humor?
ReplyDeleteWhat a waste of marble. Would make an interesting urinal or crapper.
DeleteWhy was he eligible for a heart transplant, ahead of much younger people? Rhetorical question.
ReplyDeleteBecause taxpayers have a heart and they wanted to save his life and let the lesser die off.
DeleteEvery time I see that bastard, I want to kick him in the balls and/or grab them and pull them down to his ankles!
DeleteHe deserves a slow, painful death when we look at all the Americans he and Bush killed by taking us into a war that never should have been!
Hell awaits his evil soul - as it does for the likes of Bush, McCain, Trump and Palin!
Can we petition to have the correct name officially engraved on the statue?
ReplyDeleteI don't mean Darth Vader, or Sarah, the pseudonym for Satan.
Very OT but any other fans of Scott Weiland and Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver a little sad today? Been watching videos on the Apple TV all day. So sad that he passed so young.
ReplyDeleteSame here. So sad that his genius and talent lay wasted and we'll never know how high he could have soared.
DeleteThe artist didn't get the perpetual sneer correct.
ReplyDeleteWho's handiwork is that? I've seen corpses with more humanity as they faced the pink light. President GWBush is cracking jokes while what he set in motion in the world, and our standing on the world stage would be dust had it not been for one man's dogged determination, President Barack Hussein Obama is owed a debt of gratitude from these two war criminals. A chewing gum depository might be more fitting. Hey Darth Cheyney, why not take a celebratory duck hunt with your lawyer, you know, relive the old days sans the waiting ambulance everywhere you were.
ReplyDeleteIs there a better photograph?
ReplyDeleteI can't see the fangs.
I have allergies. Maybe I'll stand next to the damn thing when I feel one of my killer sneezes coming on.
ReplyDeleteGoogle a photo of Senator John Cornyn...it looks WAY more like him, than Cheney.
ReplyDeleteCracks me up to think how many will assume its the wrong guy.
(I found one of Cornyn with same angle as the above photo...wondering why, now, we cannot post photos with these comments (???)
No wonder the country is so screwed up, this is the king of garbage we honor.
ReplyDeleteWith the smile that says: "I am going to pick the tax-paying suckers' pockets."
ReplyDeleteThe urge to plaster gum on the nose is strong. Same urge I felt when looking at the relief of the old Teamster creep Jesse T. Carr, whose good was interred with his bones in 1985.
ReplyDeleteI eagerly await the day when Cheney dies and I hope it is slow and painful.
ReplyDeleteI had a little fun with The Dick's Bust in a diary I wrote over on the Daily Kos complete with a photochopped picture with a black and white marble pigs heart cut into the chest of the bust by vandals... In the flavor of Borowitz Report or The Onion...
