Cheney's Dog Darth Vader for Halloween
Email

ABC News' Jennifer Duck Reports: The Vice President's dogs may beat the President's dogs in the best dressed category this Halloween.
Late night TV shows have ridiculed and compared Vice President Dick Cheney to Darth Vader.
So in a wicked response, Cheney dressed one of his dogs, Jackson, as the famous Star Wars character. Cheney's other Labrador retriever, Dave, is dressed up as superman.
The canine costume may also be a jab at Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.
In September after the Democratic-led Congress failed to persuade congressional Republicans to force the President to change course in Iraq through legislative means, Clinton told supporters at a New York fundraiser, "You can always tell when the Republicans are restless -- because the Vice President's motorcade pulls into the Capitol. Darth Vader emerges. And honestly I'm not invited to their meetings I don't know what he says or does."
President Bush's pets also disguised themselves for Halloween.
Quite catty and looking a little spooked, India the cat wasn't too thrilled posing in her wizardous get-up. However, Barney and Miss Beazley, the President and Mrs. Bush's two Scottish Terriers, were happy to sit pretty as a cowboy and a strawberry.
White House employees brought their children trick-or-treating in the Old Executive Office Building, and the White House is allowing parents to go home a little early to spend the boo-tiful night trick-or-treating with their kids.
Earlier in the day, White House press secretary Dana Perino attempted to "spook" an otherwise unfazed White House press corps by posting her daily briefing slide in orange lettering.

You people on here with your snide comments make me want to puke. Don't you know that people from all over the world read these sites and you all sound like the biggest whingers in the world. Left leaning Americans have NO sense of humour whatsoever. The way you speak about your country is atrocious. You should all hang your heads in shame.

Speaker of Truth: "Bush & Cheney are barely humans with absolutely no common sense nor decency."
What a stellar example of "no common sense or decency" yourself, SoT. Can you say bricks, glass houses?

Dick Cheney is too evil to be Darth Vader,maybe the Evil Emperor. Bush could be Hitler,minus the brains.

SO AJ, what you're saying is a guy that killed millions based solely on their religion/ethnicity is intelligent???
Thanks for opening your mouth and removing all doubt.

Go back to Oz Sally - or learn to read. No one is speaking badly of the U.S. only the men in office destroying the country now. Countries don't destroy themselves, men do that. GWB and DC are evil men and it seems as though everyone with a brain knows that but you. Were you the Scarecrow in Oz? Sounds like it. Don't ridicule someone elses views until you can prove them wrong and I don't thing anyone is wrong in calling GWB and DC evil, war-mongering maniacs. The truth hurts, and apparently you can't handle the truth.

The Lefties on this board - hateful, smearing, so forth. I thought the Left was the "caaaarring party of tolllerance." Riiiiggghhht. Uh-huh. But only for things/people they happen to like. Which excludes (depending) white males, Christians, Republicans, smokers, etc. Join the Democrat Party, folks. (There's a sucker born every moment.)

So how do Dems view the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton and Al Gore if they think Bush and Cheney are so evil? Surely those three are so far down the scale that it is unreadable from here. It just boggles my mind how anyone can be as warped in their 'thinking' as liberals are.
