Cheney Spends Iraq Anniversary Fishing Off Sultan Of Omans' Boat

Vice President Dick Cheney went fishing in the waters between Oman and Iran on Wednesday, borrowing the Sultan of Oman's 60-foot royal yacht for the mission.

A Cheney spokeswoman said the vice president, his wife Lynne, and daughter, Liz, a former State Department official who is traveling with her father as a private citizen, headed out under sunny skies into the Gulf of Oman on "Kingfish I," owned by Sultan Qaboos bin Said.

Looking on the bright side of things, at least someone has learned something from experience - they have kept the gun out of his trigger happy fingers... Here's an idea, perhaps the Sultan can loan his boat to Cheney and the rest of the Bush administration - indulge their right to bear arms (not to confuse with bare arms - that would be unsightly) and let them go shooting for fish. May the best shark win.

so Dick you don't care what we think or say....okay.....Go Fuck your face.....I know you don't care

I don't care what anyone says, I'm really starting to like this guy. What a great answer when asked about the two thirds of our people who disagree with his policy in Iraq. So? That was his answer. No duplicity. No squirming around like his boss man, Bush. An up front, no holds barred answer that in effect said "I don't care what any of you think, I'm going to do exactly what I want to." Could he make it any clearer? I think in the vernacular it's know as F**k You. I know you're a lady Nancy, but do you understand that language? Do you finally understand who and what you are dealing with? Start impeachment now before these 'people' can plunge us into world war III.

Ol' Dark Dick. Not an obvious attempt at distraction ey! Who paid for this vacation and did he have enough vacation days and did he check with his boss? 307 more days.

Way to go Dick! Nothing like that good old republican support for our troops. What kind of financial deals were you making? Been giving Haliburton a few more pointers on how to swindle our government. Bottling more of that polluted water for our troops. Way to go Dick you republicans really know how to stand tall with our soldiers.

"so" thats real nice Cheney. So you don't give a sh*t what we think.

[plages]

What a great thing to do. Go fishing when other's are dying . . . What do you think he was fishing for, and what was the bait?

[sassafra]

well, given his past hunting history, if i was to hazard a guess i'd say chumming with friends for blow fish.

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

a few more million in a numbered swiss account, no doubt

[jnratliff]

You can see where dicks loyalty lies, the country that has given him everything it had to give? No he will go to a place ruled by a dictator much like he fancies his self!
Halliburton is not an American company does not pay it's fair share of AMerican taxes, poisons our soldier with polluted untreated water, over charges, gets no bid contracts worth maybe billions of dollars, keeps the vice president on the payroll so he can keep the contracts comming.
Damn sweet deal for dick & george and a few others. Not so good for The American people.
Think not look and see what is happening.

The Sultan didn't join the Cheneys on the yacht.... apparently he heard that Dick was planning on fishing with his favorite shotgun.

come on now everyone turn on your microwaves on all at once....

Cheney doesn't listen to polling? He doesn't listen to reality either. He still thinks Saddam was involved with 9/11. I just wanna know what circle of Inferno he'll be in so I can make sure I'm not there.

Will someone PLEASE turn off this idiot's pacemaker? PLEASE???!!!

[AndrewInToronto]

Didn't this happen some other time too....scratching my chin and temple....thinking back. Hmmmm....Hurricane Katrina comes to mind.

[wittgene]

To all future lesbians: All men don't look like Dick Cheney!

[robertlockwoodmills]

Have another drink, Dick. Then you won't have to listen to anything anyone says.

[Grannysue]

Of course the swine doesn't, he's too busy counting his blood money and partying with the Shieks.

[elakelaiset]

Now they call the Sultan of Oman "Hookface."

[unpoetaloco]

$5.00 says he was doing private business.

On our Dime

[olivia]

That ambulance and medical team that follow him everywhere on our dime - did they follow him onto that boat too?
