Of Course He Understands the Dangers, He IS One of Them!

In an endorsement of McCain today, Veep Darth Cheney said that McCain "understands the danger facing America. . . . John is a man who understands the danger facing America, he's a man who has looked into the face of evil and not flinched."

Yes, McCain has looked into the face of Cheney a number of times and not flinched. For that he earns an endorsement from the scariest man in America (thank goodness the endorsement came today, not on Halloween, that would have just been too weird!). Showing us that Cheney hasn't lost his sense of freakish humor, he went on to say that "I'm pleased that he has chosen a running mate with executive talent, toughness, and common sense." Ha ha ha ha. Funny stuff Chenster. Ever get the feeling that Cheney looks at Palin and thinks he's looking in the mirror? She's made it clear that he's her Veep model.

Just a day before this endorsement, one more of Cheney's staffers found herself responding to a subpoena to testify about her his efforts to hide his operations from historians. The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington are suing the administration to keep all records public. Of course they're up against Cheney's amusing assertion that the vice president's office is not an entity within the executive branch. (cue Sarah on the Veep running the Senate - a faux pas, or a prediction of things to come under McCain/Palin?)
