Dick Cheney Gives Speech in Colorado
Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 03:08 PM by Yeahyeah
Source: Wall Street Journal

October 4, 2010, 2:07 PM ET.By John D. McKinnon

Last summer, former Vice President Dick Cheney was hospitalized with congestive heart failure, and underwent a procedure to implant a tiny turbine-powered pumping device in his chest. Today, Cheney gave a speech to a national insurance group in Colorado, in a further sign that the device is working to assist his damaged heart.

Cheney was the keynote speaker on Monday at the 97th annual Insurance Leadership Forum at the Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs.

The group that sponsored the appearance, the Washington-based Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers, was releasing no details of the former vice president’s closed-door remarks, other than to confirm that he appeared in person as scheduled.

Former President George W. Bush is scheduled to appear before the group on Tuesday. The council describes itself as “the voice of the market leaders and the premier association for commercial insurance and employee benefits intermediaries in the United States and abroad.”

> General Stanley McChrystal will also be speaking Monday. McChrystal was the top commander in Afghanistan until June 2010, when he resigned following what some considered an unprofessional interview with Rolling Stones magazine.

The forum is closed to the public, but demonstrators are expected outside the Broadmoor. The group Coloradans for Peace Plans is holding a two-day rally during the event.

4. BTW, do we also pay for Secret Service security after his time in office?
I thought I read something about that. If he does, they better have their own security detail if they go hunting with him.

13. Thank you for the art. I just used it to email to my list of tea party
advocates who constantly send the propaganda my way. I sent it with the line: "when he sees a kid with cancer find out his insurance is crap, his heat just whirs with excitement"

17. dick c. & henry k. - the two faces of evil.
so many murders, so little payback.
strutting around in their half-dead corpses,
like a walking sneer to the entire planet.
hope their living is part of their punishment -
though i'm not optimistic on that score.

7. Wait... do these conversations have something to do with our benefits and our policies? What are
the planning?  Doesn't our insurance commissioner have to tell
us what is changing?

9. I wish that man were dead. Oh, wait, he already is. I wish
they could figure out how to deanimate his corpse. Maybe something along the lines of what they have to do to kill zombies.......

14. No wonder why the weather is grumpy today
Cheney is not welcome in my state. Broadmoor? Colorado Springs, he'll have his own audience.

Denver - he'd be lynched.

16. So obviously they have to first sacrifice the goat to satan,
but do they drink the blood while it's still warm, or wait to toast the dark lord's survival?

19. Why is it that Dick Chenney needs a veil of secrecy on everything he does?
Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 07:07 PM by Thor_MN
After all, if he isn't doing anything criminal, he has no need to hide it.

20. Closed door just like his energy meetings.
Laying out the plan on how to fuck us more. HCR is going to make another fifty million or so of us buy policies from those fuckers and I bet they're all laughing all the way to the bank. Those cock suckers are living well off the sick and death of the people. Wouldn't it be great if those fuckers left there with a shit load of bed bug bites or a good case of the shits. I wouldn't be surprised if those people are poor tippers

21. Richard Bruce Cheney, insurance agents and brokers, Colorado (a US intelligence community center)
well that reminds me of many things...for example AIG.

What was AIG "insuring" for all those black budget networks? (started October 4, 2008)

23. "...Cheney was hospitalized with congestive heart failure,"
....could his heart have enlarged and he's become more compassionate?

"...Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers,"

....maybe he was speechifying with the Council to bring us Universal Healthcare?

29. Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers
Interesting, to see the Council of Insurance Agents of the USA pay to listen to one of the most evil persons to live in recent times. Maybe the proper response is to have some of you Americans with a good conscience go protest these insurance agents.

"good evening, while the rumors of my death have been grossly exaggerated, I can say with complete confidence, that I'm quite undead...err, I mean alive, yeah, that's it, alive..."
