"When the futuristic devices keeping Dick Cheney’s heart pumping finally sigh with exhaustion and give up for good, we’ll likely see plenty of obituaries that treat the former vice president with all the respect his office deserves and none of the disrespect the man deserves.

It’s too bad Cheney can’t write his own obit, because he came up with a near perfect opening line in an op-ed he wrote with his equally terrible daughter, failed Senate candidate Liz Cheney: “Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many.” Just add “vice” before “president,” and you have a near perfect description of Richard Bruce Cheney."

1. Let's not fall for that "the respect his office deserves" horse shit

which after all emanates from the very politicians who hold those offices (a very biased position). The office, in fact, does not confer any respect on the holder. Those who say otherwise are lying. Let me repeat that, the office deserves respect for the occupant that you're praising, not the other way round. Of course, you may refer to those prior holders for comparison, if appropriate. But you would NOT praise Obama by praising the office of president during bush*'s misadministration (for he stank it up by smearing shit on everything). So having said all that, let's tell the truth about dick over his rotting corpse. And to show you I'm not as mean as I may appear, If someone sets fire to his body I would pee on it to put it out -- of course I might take time to roast a couple of marshmallows first.

2. They are going to need to bury him under a grate that leads to a sanitary sewer

Otherwise it's going to smell bad on warm days.

What I want is the nearest beer concession upwind of where they bury him. I figure I could sell just over cost, and make a tidy profit off volume, while doing a public service.
