The latest evidence of our rough, tough and gruff Vice President is in and it’s yet another demonstration of why he had ‘other priorities’ in the Vietnam War era. Apparently, poor Dick went limp when an American citizen had the gall to approach him and say something that wasn’t on-script and pre-programmed. This dose of reality caused Scattergun Dick (people rightfully scatter when they see a gun in his hands) to suffer the ‘vapors’ and he had to discard his pants afterwards.
Of course, monarchy that we are, Dick, a la Iraq, sent someone else to confront the fifth column member and his son. Plans are in the works for Cheney to receive the Medal of Freedom for bravery displayed under enemy fire.
No word if the rumor is true that President Bush has actually issued signing statements negating the First and Fourth amendments of the United States Constitution.

A Denver-area man filed a lawsuit today against a member of the Secret Service for causing him to be arrested after he approached Vice President Dick Cheney in Beaver Creek this summer and criticized him for his policies concerning Iraq.
Attorney David Lane said that on June 16, Steve Howards was walking his 7-year-old son to a piano practice, when he saw Cheney surrounded by a group of people in an outdoor mall area, shaking hands and posing for pictures with several people.
According to the lawsuit filed at U.S. District Court in Denver, Howards and his son walked to about two-to-three feet from where Cheney was standing, and said to the vice president, “I think your policies in Iraq are reprehensible,” or words to that effect, then walked on.
Ten minutes later, according to Howards’ lawsuit, he and his son were walking back through the same area, when they were approached by Secret Service agent Virgil D. “Gus” Reichle Jr., who asked Howards if he had “assaulted” the vice president. Howards denied doing so, but was nonetheless placed in handcuffs and taken to the Eagle County Jail.
