Cheney ‘Sees An Opening’ And Wants To Run For President

thinkprogress.org — A New York Sun columnist believes that Cheney "Cheney has taken a look at the Republican presidential field and sees an opening. If Iowa and New Hampshire Republicans start receiving copies of 'Cheney' in their mailboxes, Mr. Cheney’s popularity may yet begin to climb."

  • CloakandSwagger, on 10/10/2007, -9/+286Strange, and this whole time I already thought Cheney was the President.
  • geoboy, on 10/10/2007, -8/+266I wonder if by "sees an opening", Cheney actually means "has a deal in the works with Diebold".
  • AK10, on 10/10/2007, -9/+248I suddenly feel a cold chill...
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+136I think Americans wants Cheney to be president about as much as they want their garbage removal discontinued.
  • unicronband, on 10/10/2007, -3/+132What would he swear in on, the Necronomicon?
  • Kardde, on 10/10/2007, -7/+119If he's elected the next president, I'm moving to Canada.
  • tidu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+94And here are the results...
    Giuliani... 37%
    Obama.....62%

    And the winner is... Richard Cheney! Thanks for playing.
  • skjede, on 10/10/2007, -4/+81I sense a disturbance in the force.
  • drachemorder, on 10/10/2007, -1/+71I agree. Now, I'm a staunch Republican, but I'd rather smear myself in cat food and jump in the tiger pit at the zoo than vote for Cheney.
  • kingoftonga, on 10/10/2007, -3/+58Buried as inaccurate. He's said he's not going to run (thank god for that, I might add). Just because an editorial encourages it doesn't make it true.
  • ScornForSega, on 10/10/2007, -8/+56God damn...

    you give him 2 hours of presidency while GWB has his ass probed and now he wants four years.

    Greedy little *****, ain't he?
  • unicronband, on 10/10/2007, -1/+49I'm all for garbage removal. Let's impeach this trash!
  • zyklon, on 10/10/2007, -4/+47If he runs (Which he wont) and he wins (Which he wont), I think we'll see the most massive assassination collaboration in the history of mankind.
  • MrSketch, on 10/10/2007, -2/+43Think more 'American'. If he's elected president, I'm investing my life savings in Halliburton stock.
  • colincsl, on 10/10/2007, -8/+44Isn't that what people said concerning Bush in the last election? Except nobody moved...
  • auralcircuitry, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31There's a picture of Cheney Riding a Segway? Why not just digg that?!
  • pr0t0, on 10/10/2007, -0/+29He can smell your fear!
  • hipnerd, on 10/10/2007, -2/+31I'm not going anywhere. He won't get elected, but if he did in some Bizzaro-land fashion, I'd stay right here and do everything in my power to fight him tooth and nail. It's my country. I love it. And I'm tired of watching them attempt to dismantle the very things that make it great.
  • Exhaust, on 10/10/2007, -1/+27Unfortunately after 2004 I'm not so sure he'd "drown" any Republicans. There are STILL people that support Bush after the 500 or so scandals. They'll just bring up gay marriage again and all the retard right wingers will vote for him no matter what. So what they've screwed up the country beyond repair... Can't let them damn queers have any "special rights".... Morons
  • holycrapitsed, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22As if the votes of millions of Americans are about to be silenced.
  • nymphetamine, on 10/10/2007, -9/+28Put some pants on.
  • brightscreamer, on 10/10/2007, -2/+21Dugg for the picture of Cheney on a Segway.
  • cybermort, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18the ways of Dick don't require actual votes to gain the presidency.
  • Elranzer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Cheney running for president is pretty much handing over the election to the Democrats.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18If he's elected, these French lessons are going to pay off...
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17 You know it!
    I can't believe he'd be so arrogant to think we'd want him as the president....We don't even want him as the VICE president!
  • Drahkar, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17All I can say is I seriously think thi Columnist is smoking crack of he thinks ANYONE would voted for Cheney. Bush has an all time low approval rating and everyone assocates Cheney and Bush as the same thing.
  • evilregis, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16It's not about what you want. It hasn't been for years.
  • TheRemoteViewer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Digg comment of the month!
  • Langford, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Cheney!? Is this a joke?
    OK fine, go ahead and run. We'll see how that goes.

    I'm suddenly having a nightmare of only being able to choose between Hillary Clinton and Dick Cheney. *shutters*
  • EarlOfLade, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14The Dementors have taken place in Cheney's body...Explains the cold...
  • futureb, on 10/10/2007, -8/+22this story is the liberal equivalent of michael moore stories on FoxNews. Throw red meat to the dogs & you increase your traffic (or viewers). This would never happen.
  • blacklist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16A New York Sun columnist believes that Cheney......well if a NYS columnist BELIEVES it, well it must be true.
  • frostieDude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Cheney and Bush are the same thing in the sense that Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop are the same thing.
  • Rubuntu, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16I cannot think of much to say other than "***** you Cheney for ruining this Country"
  • NealeT, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13it's a disturbance in the Force
  • thore, on 10/10/2007, -9/+21Running for a third term Dick? You ain't no Roosevelt.
  • veggiemoore, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12I did!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -5/+17beautiful
  • jstohler, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15ohpleaseohpleaseohplease
  • Kinjiru, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14Ohh yay... someone that could actually ***** things up even more than GW...
  • nailPuppy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15Sounds like he is about as delusional as Bush at this point.
  • GraceHead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12it is an ill wind
  • Bioshocker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11I thought this was going to be a BBSpot/Onion article.
  • kmpr326, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10That is some scary *****, regardless of which party you are.
  • jacobsor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Has anyone read the article beyond the headline? An editor of a conservative newspaper says that "my own guess" is that Cheney "sees an opening." That's the full basis for this story. One idiot "guessing" about what Cheney might do.

    That idiot then goes on to acknowledge that his hope that Cheney will run (in a previous editorial) "was widely mocked."

    Buried for inaccuracy.
  • TomTruelle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9psh, were not gonna let you in!
  • deleo, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12Cheney lives in a bubble of Karl Rove, Fox News, The Washington Times, The Drudge Report, and all the people who report to him and wouldn't dare cross him. He has no idea that he is viewed by most Americans as the worst Vice President in the history of our Country.
  • darkfate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8I just came back from hell and they are having a large snowball fight.
  • habbofresh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9you can go hunting with him ;)
