NOT JUST ANOTHER PRETTY FACE ——- by Steve Nadis
I caught a few seconds of an interview with Dick Cheney the other day. (To my friend, “CheneyLover,” this is your cue to chime in.) He said something to the effect that he took the VP job to be more than just a pretty face. And he wanted some responsibilities, he wanted to do more than just wait around as a stand-in in case something ever happened to the Commander-in-Chief. Well, how does running the country sound? Is that enough responsibility? If not, perhaps running the world would suit him better.
I’m just thinking out loud here, as usual. Please don’t read anything into it.

Wow. You deleted all the Forbes Smiley stuff. Fascinating. Why?
Hi Scott — I never did anything like that before and tried to explain my thinking in a post last week entitled “An Apology” [see http://cambridgeguy.blog.com/298805/ ]. The main thing is that several people let me know they were seriously pissed off. I initially just wrote one little item because I thought the name was cool. It led to more than I bargained for. I had no idea that I had gone to college with this guy (though we did not know each other, so far as I can recall), but I knew Hilary a little and didn’t want her to hate me or for other former classmates to feel the same. So I just pulled the plug on the whole thing. I’m trying to move on although a few of the comments, mentioned in my “Beneath Contempt” post, still sting a little.
How’d you like your "Bandwith Exceeded" status? My intelligence sources told me you were going to be posting about me, just wanted to give you a little taste of what happens when you mess with the Presiden…..I mean Vice President of the United States. I’m watching you pal!
Thanks for the warning, DC. Don’t you have more important things to worry about than a "little guy" like me (not little in stature; I’m average)? Perhaps you could help the president with a few ranch chores before he returns to his vacation home in Washington.
Of course he is more than a pretty face. He is the Presidential Babysitter hired by 41 and Bar to keep an eye on their wayward son.
I dunno. Somethin’ tells me that if an Arab were to run upset into the Oval office, Ol’ George would pull out a 6-shooter, & Dicky would yelp in fear & dive behind a desk! (Then get Kennebunkport on the cell…)
Good point, Marco. We may not know until that happens. We’re looking for a new babysitter here, OR, but I don’t think we’ll contact him. Too warm & fuzzy, as they say…
CheneyLover is dead. Long live Turd Blossom!
CheneyLover, Turd Blossom, whatever you call it, we here at Call Me Snake are glad to have you.
Damn six shoote, I would go for the fully-auto SAW machine-gun, and a .45. I like my attacking syco extremists islamist terrorists down when i shoot them. Or we could just talk to them.
Your blog is impressive,it is always in my mind after i read it.
