Politics

It's not just President Bush we won't have to kick around anymore -- Jan. 20th means no more Dick Cheney, either, provided he can be coaxed out of his bunker (as an enticement they've already readied his favorite treat, a big rawhide bone).

Politico has listed Cheney as one of their top ten "people we'll miss in 2009." And in an interview with the Casper Star-Tribune, Cheney defends himself and says he doesn't know why people don't seem to like him very much.

"I don't have any idea. I don't follow the polls," he says. Yeah, it's certainly a mystery. Sort of like when you go to a dinner party and take a dump on the table and suddenly everybody's all like, "hmm, look at the time, we have to go now." Weird.

Well, as for us, we agree with Politico -- he'll certainly be missed. What exactly will we miss about?...

Ten Things We'll Miss About Dick Cheney...

• He was the only one who would tell Leahy whom to go fuck.

• How he waterboarding not because it's his job, but just for the love of the sport.

• Hating him gave us something in common to talk about with Canadians.

• The way he seemed to draw Keith Olbermann out of his shell.

• His title was Vice President, but to the world he was just "dick."

• The constant rumors about the release of the "bunker boudoir" photos of he and Lynn.

• The way his keen insights about the Middle East finally cleared up that whole thing and made the world so much safer.

• When an old man needed his face shot up, Dick was the first to say, "I'll do it."

• The way he'd sense when the nation was down and have a heart attack to pep us back up.

• The cuddling.
