Cheney: "I'm acrually Lovable".....LOL
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0109/17189.html


Vice President Dick Cheney said Wednesday that his image has gotten a bad rap in the press and that he is in fact “a warm, loveable sort.”

Cheney conceded in an interview with CBS radio that he sometimes expresses himself “rather forcefully toward some of my compatriots, like Pat Leahy from Vermont” but dismissed as a caricature the idea that he is a “Darth Vader-type personality.”

“I think all of that’s been pretty dramatically overdone,” the vice president said. “I’m actually a warm, loveable sort.”

Cheney also insisted that his influence within the Bush administration was overstated throughout the past eight years. “The notion that somehow I was pulling strings or making presidential-level decisions. I was not,” he said.

“There was never any question about who was in charge. It was George Bush. And that’s the way we operated. This whole notion that somehow I exceeded my authority here, was usurping his authority, is simply not true. It’s an urban legend, never happened."

2. I wondered if that came from The Onion.
It's not. He's kidding us or kidding himself.

4. Liar.
The 9/11 Commission report shows where he did make a presidential-level decision and his ass got called on it.

...the ones that lived, anyway.

Nothing says "I'm a warm, loveable sort" more than a faceful of shot.

7. Lovable? Cheney?
Yeah, I just want to give the guy a big hug.
Seriously, though, does he really believe that?
If so, that's kind of sad.

11. I am dying. This is hysterical. Cheney feels bad about his public persona
finally after 8 long years. Too late. The next VP does have a warm personality and it contrasted nicely yesterday to Cheney's forced smiles.
