Quote Of The Day

“I think the progress we’re making is significant. I think the performance, in general, at least in terms of the information I’ve received from locals, is definitely very impressive.”
-Dick Cheney on the relief effort

…um…Dick…well…what information are you receiving exactly?

And then, this…

As Cheney was speaking to reporters, a passerby shouted obscenities at him. Cheney dismissed it, saying it was the first negative reaction he had heard on his trip.

HA!

Cheney dismissed it, saying it was the first negative reaction he had heard on his trip.

Perhaps we should start pushing for a constitutional amendment to force national leaders to get out amongst the rest of us without security and screening and other barriers more often. Maybe we should define where they live and eat. For example, tell them they can’t eat anyplace more exclusive or expensive than, say, Outback’s or that they have to go to a local sports bar at least once a week without protection. You know, to mingle with the peeps.
