Yesterday Dick Cheney went on Fox "News" Chanel and announced that the day he shot a 78 year old man in the face was "one of" the worst days in his life. Kind of makes you wonder what the other bad days were. Here is my crack at the ten worst days of Richard Cheney's life.
Here is my crack at the ten worst days of Richard Cheney's life.
- November 2n, 1976. Jimmy Carter defeats Gerald Ford in presidential election. (Dick was Ford's Campaign manager)
- ?, 1984: Second Heart attack
- 1988: Third Heart attack
- October 28, 2005: Scooter Libby indicted for doing Cheney's bidding. (This day is better known as "Fitzmas" in these parts.)
- ?,2001: Fourth Heart attack.
- Unknown: Younger Daughter Mary Cheney goes public with her homosexuality. (Loss of Street Cred among the Bible Thumpers.)
- October 26th, 1965: LBJ lifts restriction on drafting married men who are childless.
- July 28th, 1966: Birth of first child.(I'll save you the math. This nine months and 2 days after #4.)
- February 11th, 2006: Shoots man in face.
- ?,1978: First heart attack.
By the way if he took four days to go public and then did his first interview with Brit Frigging Hume, I have to wonder if he's not hiding something. Only Fox could be relied on to not just lob softballs but to actually offer sympathy on this story. Yesterday Charles Krauthamer said that waiting 14 hours to tell the press was "manly". I'll be meditating on the meaning of that one for weeks.
