Groundhog Day at the White HousePosted on Feb 4, 2006Vice President Dick Cheney emerged from his secure, undisclosed location to make television appearances following the president’s State of the Union address, but then immediately returned to his hiding place—indicating that America may be in for six more weeks of winter, according to experts. While appearing with NBC’s Tim Russert, observers say, the vice president seemed distracted, looking over his shoulder repeatedly as if trying to see his own shadow. A review of the broadcast indicates that Vice President Cheney, in fact, appeared to locate his shadow toward the end of his appearance. He then abruptly concluded the interview, canceled an appearance with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and returned to his secure, undisclosed location, which is believed to be underground. Experts were divided as to the impact of Mr. Cheney’s brief appearance and sudden disappearance upon the duration of the current winter season. Advertisement At the White House, spokesman Scott McClellan attempted to downplay the increasingly widespread impression that Vice President Cheney can influence the seasons. “Vice President Cheney is a respected voice within this administration, but he does not make the climate warmer,” Mr. McClellan told reporters. “Only President Bush can do that.” Elsewhere, in order to increase revenue for “Brokeback Mountain,” the producers announced that they would release a special heterosexual version on DVD.

As outlined in PNAC, when Dick Cheney emerges from an undisclosed location, sees his shadow and scurries back for cover, it signals six more years of clamoring for funds to use against the war on terror.
If only he hadn’t seen that shadow….
