Cheney Jokes About Obama, Clinton, Olbermann And Gore At Press Correspondents' Dinner

Vice President Dick Cheney paid a visit to the Radio & Television Correspondents' Dinner In Washington D.C. on Wednesday, and decided to let loose with a barrage of jokes about his demeanor (insert Darth Vader jokes), his relationship with the media, and the Pope's current voyage in America. Before introducing comedian Mo Rocca, the Vice President also weighed in on the 2008 elections, and some current mini-controversies.

Watch the clips below:

On "Bittergate": "Obviously you're not the kind that look down on a bitter man who clings to his guns."

---

On Hillary's Bosnia Gaffe: "She made an honest mistake. She confused the Bosnia trip with the time I took her hunting."

On Mo Rocca And Keith Olbermann: "Mo used to host a TV show called 'Things I Hate About You.' I'm sure I've seen that program, only now it's called Countdown, with Keith Olbermann."

---

On 'Cousin Barack' And Rev. Wright: "Barack Obama and I have had our disagreements, and frankly I do wish he would keep these things in the family. For example, I keep telling him it's time to start thinking about a choice for Vice President. He says he'll find a running mate just as soon as he's got himself a new pastor. I guess my cousin Barack has sat through some mighty riveting sermons over the years. If he gets elected, you're not going to want to miss those Washington prayer breakfasts."

On The Pope, The Media And Al Gore: "I met with His Holiness this morning at the White House. So between that and this dinner with the media, it's been quite a day for me. I spent the morning with one infallible authority, and now I get to spend the evening with a thousand of them. I was glad to talk to the Pope. It's rare that I run into somebody who's heard more secrets than I have...I'm modest enough to realize that all of you would rather see the Pope standing here than me. But instead of the successor to St. Peter, you're stuck with me, the successor to St. Al."

Young Americans (4037)dying, thousands disabled because of the leadship of this country. They Dance, Laugh, Sing and tell jokes and families cry.


I hate them

Since this dark hearted individual, with his embraced liars grouped around him in jovial bloodlettings I think it's time to mention what many don't. If waterboarding is legal, lets use it on Cheney, Bush, Rice, Wolfowitz just to name a few and hear the truths about 911 and what they these individuals have done to our country and out Bill of Rights.

God, what a funny little mass murderer...

"In all likelihood, we'll be greeted as liberators".
"There is no doubt that there has been a continuing connection between Saddam Hussein and the forces of al-Quaeda."
"Without a doubt, Saddam has the capability to produce and to deliver weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, right now".
"There's a story running in the NY Times this morning..."
"The office of the Vice President is not a part of the executive, and so it doesn't come under the supervision of the Congress".

He has funnier material he didn't use.

Satan's minion's Speak.

I can smell the sulfur still burning.

The Correspondents' Dinner is obviously a tough room to work for Republican politicians, but Cheney did his usual fine job at warming the hearts of America's most cynical crowd. You have to admit that Darth is good -- decent timing, strong presence and presentation, and an overwhelming image of comforting sincerity.

You gotta love him. He is the model of the modern American VP, and he'll be missed.


McCain/Cheney 08.

I think you are just a little jealous Night Stalker. You only killed how many people???

[Bigtexxx]

Funniest mass murderer since OJ! What a presentation. And what comedic delivery! Darth Shithead reads about as well as Chimpy trying to plow through the "tough chapters" of "My Pet Goat."

[MissingAmerica]

In a real world, his next guest speaking appearance would be in front of a House Impeachment Committee. Even when this man is funny, he's not.

[CulureFX]

It scares me that his evilness is so hilarious, I'm sure Hilter had a roast somewhat like this..

[CindyM2008]

Yuk yuk yuk...

[JJI]

Ahhhh, it's so funny to see a man laugh and joke while people are dying in a war he is profiting from.

[hmmmmmer]

To sit and watch these morons give this piece of evil crap a standing ovation says it all. They are gutless in their approach to this administration and the news they should be covering instead a making light of our situation in this this country. It is no wonder they are all elitist arrogant pond scum.
