Last night, the White House announced that then-Vice President Dick Cheney would be confined a wheelchair during the Inauguration ceremonies because he injured himself while helping out with his move to McLean, Virginia. (Naturally, Keith Olbermann was really excited by the news, which broke while he was on air.) During today's Inauguration coverage, former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw essentially said, unfortunately due to his strained back muscle, newspapers will say tomorrow that Cheney had a "Dr Strangelove" appearance because he's in the wheelchair. Tom, you're so helpful with your ideas.
Cheney as Dr. Strangelove?

He just wants to use the handicapped space in front of the CIA.
Hehe...Karma!
Wow, you are quite a pathetic individual, aren't you?
The 100,000 dead and hundreds of thousands of maimed Iraqis might beg to differ, shithead.
Typical.
Care to elaborate? Typical of what exactly?
That you had to use profanity and make a personal attack. You always do that.
WAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Really? That's your comeback? Resorting to profanity is the sign and limited intelligence and now you're just confirming it.
Personal attack? I think that you described me as "a pathetic individual", no? You were able to extrapolate that from one sentence? EastRiver, here's some more profanity for you...screw off.
I stand by my assessment of you.
You need to get out more.
Do you know who Tammy Duckworth is? I feel for the Vets that she represents, not a guy who pulled his back while moving out of an office that he clearly never deserved. Cheney will never know the agony of having one's legs blown off in combat.
So yes, perfectly ironic that a man who has put so many young people in wheelchairs rolls out of his office in a wheelchair, himself.
That's a creepy pic.
I bet you he did a Orson Welles in Citizen Kane where he throws a tantrum and destroys everything in a room and injures himself the night before.
I immediately thought of the villainous Mr. Potter from "It's a Wonderful Life." Hopefully, unlike Mr. Potter, Mr. Cheney will be charged for his criminal acts.
it really is a bizarre mash-up of 'it's a wonderful life' and 'mr. smith goes to washington.'
Exactly what I was thinking. He already had that Lionel Barrymore / Simon Bar Sinister voice - "Why don't you go to the riff-raff you love so much and ask them to let you have eight thousand? You know why? Because they'd run you out of town on a rail." Now the transformation is complete.
Maybe he just wanted to physically represent what he's done to the privacy of citizens in this country and the standing of the U.S to the rest of the world?
Rocknope beat me to it: That's what you get for hamstringing the country for 8 years.
Easier to handcuff him to for his war crimes.
Back in Wyoming, at this very moment, there are kids on his lawn.
I thought he looked just like the Big Lebowski.
"Your revolution is over, Mr. Lebowski. Condolences."
lol, this is exactly what i thought of.
The bums lost!
I am not Mr. Lebowski You're Mr. Lebowski I'm the Dude
hurt his back? oh please, his metal heart just gave out again.
Perhaps he's been in a wheelchair for years. Have we seen him standing recently?
maybe he's more like vader than strangelove
"Barack, I am your faaather"
"Nooooooo!!!!!!!"
how awesome would that be...Obama removes Cheney's mask...
He strained his back carrying all that bitterness and secretive Skullduggery for 8 years.
the worse republicans had to offer!!
au revoir monsieur le Dick!

As much as Im not a republican and disagree with all decisions that came from Dick I kind of respect the dude.
He is a nasty motherfucker, doesent care who knows it and wont do a damn thing to change that image.
#30, that is what some call arrogance and petulance. On top of the other virtues, he makes a good case for the powers of evil. In deed many republicans find that "respectable", otherwise he was not for so long in that job.
I couldn't care less what your opinion of me is you douchebag.
who in a sane state of mind would defend Cheney's ethical misdirection of political power?!
You have to be the biggest moron (or a republican) to think Cheney's ways were honorable or even remotely right.
He should have hired someone to move the Man-Sized Safe. All he needs is a cat to stroke slowly while looking at large monitors in his underground lair.
