Cheney Sleeping
From AmericaBlog

Vice President Cheny appears to be dozing off while attending a meeting with President Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

Should we be worried that the man one step away from the presidency can’t stay awake at high-level meetings? (This is the second time in three weeks.)

Cheney not only falls asleep at cabinet meeting but all of his lifetime and never awake.

Wouldn’t you fall asleep if you had to listen to Bush repeat his dumb line again and again?

The man is on a ton of medication. The miracle is that he can even stay awake or walk at all.

People who knew him twenty or more years ago say they don’t even recognize the guy. Illness plus medication have turned him into someone else, and it ain’t good!

Don’t wake him up!  While sleeping he can do no evil.

Don’t be lulled to sleep.  This is part of the plan.

Cheney will ‘have’ to step down in late August for health reasons.  These sleeping episodes will be brought out as evidence of a long, drawn out battle with a rare blood disease or heart condition that has just worn him out.

I do not think Leiberman will step in as VP but look for it to happen.  The effort will save the Senate for the Repubs but the House is too far gone for a stunt like this to stop the 40 seat swing that is coming!

Maybe they have sedated him.

Things have got to be bad when a Rethug has to trot out his lesbian daughter, who is as much a bitch as her mother, to write a book and try to make him seem human.

That’s what happens when he runs out of souls to drain the Lifeforce from. I hear they’re searching for a synthetic serum for him, but no luck so far…

Cheney asleep? Great. That is when he is the most logical.
