WASHINGTON – Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back while moving boxes and will be in a wheelchair for Tuesday's inauguration ceremony.

White House press secretary Dana Perino said Cheney was helping to move into his new home outside Washington in McLean, Va., when he injured his back.

His doctor recommended that he needed a wheelchair for the next couple of days.

Perino said that Cheney is OK otherwise.

1. Perino is wrong, Cheney is most certainly not OK otherwise.

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Cheney does not move boxes! He has lackeys to do that

More lies from the Undisclosed Location Master.

[Retrograde]

24. my theory

He's trying to hide some documents that are supposed to go to the National Archives. He tried to get a flunky to do it, but the poor sap said, no, that's illegal, so he had to do it himself.

Amazing how I always think the worst of him.

[Cha]

31. Yeah, I could see how

cheney might have to actually move something himself and not being used to it..ended up in a wheelchair.

[bluesmail]

40. I lean towards your theory! HA! Imagine Darth moving worthless boxes. n/t

[chat_noir]

62. Darth Cheney : Let's roll!

80. hahhahha that's a good one!

:rofl:

One funeral I'll go to in good humor.

:rofl:

PER-FECT!

:applause:

[sofa king]

23. For the win!

Alternative choice:



(I can't remember if Blofeld was always in a wheelchair, or only in For Your Eyes Only. Yes, kids, he does look a lot like Dr. Evil, and it's not a coincidence.)

[TroglodyteScholar]

4. Now he's a sympathetic character!

Get well soon, Dick!

[Skittles]

5. I hope it fucking hurts like hell

[Ilsa]

25. ITA. But someone will likely come along and tell us we're wrong

for feeling like this and posting it.

I hope it hurts so fucking bad he has to give up all his hobbies: sex, waterboarding, hunting, shooting your hunting partners, etc.

[Skink]

6. That smarts.

[Chulanowa]

7. Moving boxes? Or did he try to pull his head out of his ass? n/t

[wordpix]

49. lol

[elleng]

8. DAMN!

He's got a 'new home outside Washington!'

Guess whats her name wants to be nearby, to keep stirring the pot.

[onehandle]

9. Clap. Clap Clap. (slow sarcastic tempo)

Acting for sympathy. Well played, Mr. Cheney.

[MrsBrady]

57. that's what I told my husband

he's trying to be a distraction on purpose.

ANYthing to get the attention, even if it's short lived

[CountAllVotes]

11. look at the bright side

at least he didn't shoot somebody! :D

[awoke_in_2003]

32. Yet

:)

[rhett o rick]

72. Yet. Security better look under the blanket on his lap. Not a job I'd want. nm

12. Karma for breaking America's back.

13. HA, HA

Boo fuckin' hoo, Dick.

14. And in a related story, Bush pulls muscle in brain

He actually tried to think today

[santamargarita]

15. Maybe he'll roll off the stage...

..into an angry crowd
:bounce:

[Politicalboi]

18. LMAO!

Yes that would be nice. I don't believe this story. Since when does Darth Vader move boxes? Unless it's full of money. I bet he won't be there tomorrow for fear of being arrested live on TV.

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. His absence tomorrow is something I have been worried about.

Having Cheney on the platform is a form of insurance that no incidences are planned.

edit: speliing

[Politicalboi]

54. I never even thought of that

I guess I'm just High on what tomorrow brings and I let my guard down. Cheney could be in his undisclosed location starting WWIII.

[Arugula Latte]

43. Remember what happened to Khomeini at his own funeral?

[dixiegrrrrl]

58. Sorry to admit...no. what happened?

[Arugula Latte]

60. The frenzied crowd rushed to get their hands on the coffin .... and his body got dumped out.

Quite the scene.

[Jefferson23]

16. They lie so often, you can't believe them on anything.

He could be on a stretcher at the inauguration and even that wouldn't give rise to any sympathy, quite the contrary. Most evil of men, Cheney, good riddance.

[boomerbust]

17. Now he can apply

For SSDI. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps Mr. Vice President, because it will take about two years to get your benifits.

[pjt7]

19. I'd be surprised if he lasts

that long out of office. Sort of like how LBJ deteriorated.

[nolabear]

21. If there IS a God, please let him stand up in mid-ceremony

and scream "Mein Fuhrer! I can WALK!!!"

Just not when Obama's up there. Otherwise, knock yourself out, you swine.

[bluedeminredstate]

22. A wheelchair for a "pulled back muscle"?

Really? Really? Sounds like complete bullshit to me. More like his shriveled coal black heart is too weak to carry him on foot up the steps for the ceremony without his defibrillator zapping his ass to the ground.

[LeftyMom]

27. That's what I'm thinking.

Hell, people who have back injuries sufficient to need surgery don't even wind up in wheelchairs most of the time.

[nolabear]

29. Best Adbot placement EVER

:hi: Say G'night, Dick.

[wordpix]

50. he really is looking bad lately - karma catching up with him

[uppityperson]

26. Good. eom

[Sailing]

28. Must have been some pretty damning evidence in those boxes...

for him to be moving them himself.

[wordpix]

51. hmmm - perfect, MacSailor

[glinda]

53. The missing emails cuz

he wants to know where they are at all times. He has stress and stress makes your back go out. By being in a wheelchair, he doesn't have to be onstage nor stand. He is a manipulative creep.

[Career Prole]

30. Oh, fachrissakes...man up, dick!

Jeez, I've never seen such a wuss for all the tough talkin' you do. Take some ibuprofen, dial a different "sleep number" on your magic mattress, and get over it.
We go to work with sore backs every day here in Real America.
Weinie.

[CLANG]

33. YES!

Yeeehah!! Cheney is an ass! Fuck the fucking fucker!!

[jennied]

34. Is it mean that I laughed??????

[Eric Condon]

35. This pretty much sums up my feelings on this

[corkhead]

82. That looks like the Minutemen in your sigline

:toast:

Double Nickels on the dime could just as easily be my avatar.

[bdamomma]

36. oh how convenient, is this is way of getting out of going.

you never know with this sleaze bag.

39. AMAZING! Given that there are Government Movers who take care of things for Pres/Veep and the rest.

:eyes: I wonder if he "pulled out his back" transferring the files of documents he didn't get to shred...or the CD's and Laptops with those E-Mails requisitioned by the Court last week! :shrug:

His complain about his back and moving boxes is a total lie...unless he was "illegally" moving stuff he didn't want anyone to know about.

[DebbieCDC]

41. Darth hasn't picked up anything heavier than a shotgun in 25 years or more

Picked up a box my ass. They probably can't prop him up anymore with God knows what drugs he's full of to keep his "heart" beating.

[Historic NY]

44. Was he moving that "man safe" again?

45. Isn't traction good for a bad back? The CIA might have a rack they won't be needing.

47. Limping down Memory Lane: Lewis "Scooter" Libby arrives at court on crutches

playing the sympathy card? redux?

[wordpix]

52. looking completely zoned out on poppy drugs

[LEW]

55. I'd rather he be walked across the stage in handcuffs

than a wheelchair. :rofl:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

56. Not to worry...

Most penitentiaries have wheelchair-accessible cells.

[salguine]

59. It'll be hard to look at him and not think of fucking Blofeld.

[gauguin57]

61. Madame Karma, she is a bitch.

This is Karma: Phase One. For your crimes against this country and humanity, sir, karma will no doubt have much more to say to you.

[Grinchie]

63. Too bad he didn't have a stroke. I'll keep praying for that.

Therin lies the dilemma.. You pray he is afflicted and spends the rest of his life as a vegetable, but on the other hand, you hope he gets Convicted of War crimes and is executed much the same way as Saddam Hussein was, With the same dignity and respect any former leader of a country gets.

[rhett o rick]

69. I want to see him frog-marched to prison. But then I am selfish. nm

[NOW tense]

64. Karma

[atomic-fly]

65. cheny's last symbolic gesture...

cheny's last symbolic gesture, not standing for the the new president

[Ganja Ninja]

67. Bend your knees when you lift that man sized safe Dick.

Rush says that Oxycontin is good for back pain.

[Doctor_J]

68. Does he still get grade-A free health care after today?

Or is he finally off the gravy train?

[rhett o rick]

70. Who says the power of prayer can't work?? nm

[GinaMaria]

73. strained his back as he tried to get away with more of our treasury? eom

[Crowman1979]

74. I think Darth cheney is going for that Mr. Potter look from "Its a wonderful life"

I guess that makes Obama our George Bailey! :D

[daleo]

75. He is practicing to be Davros, instead of Darth Vader. n/t

[meuniermr]

76. Lifting the documents from his desk and cabinet

into the shredder I bet.

[sam kane]

77. "please don't kill a little old man". nt

[eirteacher]

78. What was in the boxes? Torture papers to be shreded.

That old bastard must have had something very important in the boxes as to want to move them himself. Probably torture papers that the SOB wants to shred.I hope he is in more pain than those whom were water boarded.

[customerserviceguy]

79. It's a nice change

for the last eight years, he's been pulling a muscle in the front...

[Thor_MN]

81. Merely a way to avoid standing to honor the new president.

Dickhead's latest FU to the nation, he keeps his fat ass planted during the entire procedings. Remember the pictures of him at that State funeral overseas? Wearing the khaki green parka? Looked more like he was at Lambeau for a December game where his team was losing 63 - 3, everyone around him wearing black dress clothes. Dickhead is unwilling to extend even the slightest courtesy to anyone.

He seemed to be able to hop into the limo just fine when they kicked his ass out of DC.

83. Ruling on Records Delivers a Win to Cheney (WaPo, 1/20)

First appeared 1/19/09---the day Chain-ee hurt his little back!

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/01/19/AR2009011903042.html

A federal judge yesterday rejected the claim by a coalition of historians and nonprofit groups that Vice President Cheney intended to illegally discard some of his official records, and instead accepted the pledge of a senior White House aide that key Cheney documents and other materials will be transferred as required to the National Archives.

The decision, announced on the eve of the Bush administration's handover of power, capped a long legal battle over how much discretion Cheney had to decide which documents he must preserve for history. On virtually every important legal issue in the case, including whether courts even have jurisdiction to review the matter, the Justice Department -- representing Cheney -- lost.

But the groups, including the American Historical Association, the Organization of American Historians and the Society of American Archivists, were unable to convince the court that Cheney intended to destroy or keep much of his records under what they called a strained interpretation of the governing law. snip....

One of the plaintiffs, Stanley I. Kutler, an emeritus professor of history and law at the University of Wisconsin Law School, said he remains worried that "when the Archives goes to open Cheney's papers, they are going to find empty boxes."

Cheney "spent most of his time making sure he left no footprints," said Kutler, who has written two books on Watergate and President Richard M. Nixon's White House tapes. "Why did he fight this order so much if he did not have the intent to leave with these papers? I'm guessing that a lot of it will not be there."
