He said that when his wife, Lynne, was doing research on a book, she discovered that his grandmother was descended from a man named Richard Cheney. "So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family," he said.

In other words, he is proud that his family is inbred!

Considering the way Bush/Cheney have mismanaged the affairs of this nation, they simply shouldn''t be making stupid wisecracks like this---whether it was in jest or not!

UNBELIEVABLE! There are SO many things that Bush and Cheney could be investigated, indicted, charged, and tried on---and yet, they continue to inflame, harass, and insult the people of America! This time---taking a ''cheap swipe'' at the citizens of West Virginia!

Men this inept, unfeeling, and uncaring simply do NOT belong in politics! Fortunately, these two men will be heading into retirement where they can no longer do any damage to the country! We hope---

NOW, if the public will reward their brethren, their fellow Republicans, by voting them OUT of office; we can ''clean up'' govt somewhat, try to get back ''on track'', and give the Democrats a little time to fix things before we replace them!

I thought it was pretty funny. Who cares and why is this news?

When did people quit letting stuff roll off their back?

"He''d probably be fearful I might whisper in his ear and change his whole view of the Middle East," Cheney said."

So if Mr. Obama''s view can be changed by a mere whisper, the contents of the whisper will be "Do what we say, of your whole family dies."

Inbreeding.

Ok, that explains most of it.

Re: "Vice President *** Cheney threw a verbal insult at West Virginians on Monday, but quickly apologized."

Cheney then added, ''But since you brought it up, GO *** YOURSELVES!!!''
