VP Cheney's Lifting Boxes?
How dumb does this current administration think we Americans are? VP Dick Cheney is reportedly going to be in a wheel chair for several days because he hurt his back LIFTING BOXES.
Give me a break. Multimillionaire Dick Cheney wouldn't be caught dead lifting boxes. That's a slaves job or at the very most a clerk's job.
This wheel chair business is about something else. Maybe it's his heart again? Perhaps his doctor doesn't want him standing for long periods or in the deep cold for long. Being in a chair solves all that.
Sorry -- have to laugh. Dick Cheney lifting boxes?

He was lifting his boxers, not boxes.

Lifting and body slamming Barbara Boxer might be a good cardiovascular exercise regimen.

It must hurt having your comment up for almost an hour and being completely ignored spric. Maybe you should go over and post at David Seaton's post. He'll listen.

Beside your point, but have you noticed that disconcerted flop of a speech has brought the Dow down 300 points? I was heartened watching people walk off from that dribble before he finished!!!!

Having more fantasies, spric? On what basis do you determine that Obama is the cause for this drop in the Dow? This is pure imagination. I would give you credit for creativity, but you are destructive. You bring nothing good to the conversation at all.
From the home page of TPM, another more reasonable assessment of why there was a drop. A suggestion that corporate reporting is related to changes in the economy, not fanfare like an inauguration. It was the first day of trading since Citi and Bank of America reported huge losses Friday, and bank stocks led the losses.

Stop with your logic and reason and understanding of weekend-delayed market reactions to bad news. You'll confuse the troll, and it will cry.

Cheney's boxes reminded me of conman Conrad Black. As he was getting nailed for ripping off Hollinger shareholders for tens of millions of $$$, what does he do? Against court orders, he PERSONALLY removes boxes of key documents - and gets nailed for obstructing justice. See: here.
It just made me wonder why Cheney - who's had X number of heart problems - would somehow be insisting on personally handling those boxes?

Quinn, talk about a guy who has overstayed his time.
Yeah, get a wheelchair and bury him in it.
Watch him try to appeal that.

Lemme ask you, would you help him? I don't care who he asked they probably told him, "f*ck off Mr. Vice President, what're you gonna do, fire me? When the paperwork hits my new boss's desk I'll probably get a promotion."

CNN reported he was SHORT of staffers - they all left yesterday and earlier today.
This is BULLWICKY!
There is NO WAY Dick Cheney would be lifting anything other than a report authorizing the torture of another human being or his stock broker to invest more money in some oil company.

All of Dicky's papers have been shredded so thin they made cole slaw out of them.

I'm going with the first suggestion. This is probably about his heart, not his back. People with back injuries cannot sit down. They stand, they lay and they walk. Everything in between is painful. I'm thinking his undisclosed locations were probably hospitals for all the heart problems his had. I doubt we were allowed to know how often he was in the hospital and for how long.

I hope its his back and his front and his top and his bottom, Gregor. This was and is a very bad man.

It is extremely heartening to know that the resident evil, the President of Vice is now in someone else's residence and not the one paid for by US Taxpayers.

When "lifting" s**t, tighten abominables.

The only thing that would result if he did that would be a fart. Men his age should never trust a fart.

Not sure if you meant abominables or abdominals. Either one works for Cheney.

Someone should find and identify the box in question and give it a special spot with the Distinguished Persons on the podium with President Obama. Perhaps even nominate it for a Freedom Medal too!

But will it be the REAL Cheney? I've heard rumors there was more than one fake Dick in this administration...

Limp dicks, Jep. The Republicans are all limp dicks. They all run for the Viagra everytime they are supposed to perform.

After 8 years of maintaining his human shape, his lower body finally reverted to the mass of tentacles that are the natural shape of his species. Mind controlling alien squids do not have the best endurance in the galaxy, everybody knows that (except YOU, we never told YOU)...

I know I’m not the only or first one to notice this, but with Cheney in the wheelchair, the resemblance to him and Mr. Potter from “It’s A Wonderful Life” is simply perfect.

HA! He is Mr. Potter! Ohmigod!

Deus ex machina, poetic justice, boomeranging karma, etc. Sit down and shut up, old man; your stolen time has passed. And let that little fuckwad sit on your pathetic lap, like the sorry, repellent ventriloquist's marionette he's been all along. The two of you belong together - in a cell.

Too bad he will retire and never be president. He was more Reaganesque than anyone on the horizon. If only the house would have had the testicles to impeach. If for nothing more than general principles.

You have all missed the obvious reason for the wheelchair. Dick is now out of a job. He is just building a case for employee disability so he can screw the country out of more money.

Can Cheney get worker's comp for hurting himself while carrying heavy boxes of government papers into his house?

I was in a movie theater watching the ceremony and when they showed Cheyney in a wheelchair, we all started laughing and clapping. Chris Matthews said it was a metaphor. I can't wait to see what Stewart and Colbert do with this.

He may in fact have hurt his back..... chucking boxes of White House files into one of those mobile truck mounted industrial strength shredders that have been pulling into the Naval Observatory over the last week.

Yeah. He declared when they were first sworn into office that they was going to run this country like a business, and it was none of our business.
