News Your Prayers Are Needed
Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Jun 25, 2010 at 7:30 PM
Dick Cheney—a socialist who enjoys the benefits of socialized medicine—has been hospitalized. And remember (per Durang): God hears and answers all of our prayers. It's just that sometimes the answer is "no."

Wondering what Strongman Ron and his boyfriend are doing instead of praying for him? Probably something like this:

and SOMEtimes the answer is DIE, piece of fucking demonic shit! DIE!

c'mon Eric Holder, please just at least one indictment... don't let the bastard go without that.
you don't have to call it a "hail mary" for the people if you don't want to.
yeah it is petty, but petty is not near ordering torture levels...

I can hear the Earth rumble and begin to split as the Gates of Hell screech open. "Hallelujah," comes the distant roar, "our Dark Savior is returning!"

He can't die. They'll just replace his cyborg heart with new parts, and he'll be good for another 100,000 miles.

I guess I'm not as spiteful as I thought I was. I can't honestly say I wish he'd die. But I do wish his (umpteenth?) near-death experience will motivate him to begin repairing the damage he's done. Also I'd like a unicorn.

As Dorothy Parker said, when you want the bastards to die, they never do.
But she also said that if you wait long enough, the bastards always get what's coming to them.
All I know is that my Rosary Beads aren't getting much action this evening.

Gus, that video is deeply disturbing...something about the combination of those nipple/moobs and the way the other guy keeps touching Strongman Joe's face as he walks around. I would much prefer seeing a video of Bryan Bissell doing a body shot.
13
Now I know why 'Tramp The Dirt Down' by Elvis Costello was in my head when I woke up this morning...
14
I am not a spiteful person. I pride myself on my empathy. But considering how many deaths Cheney is responsible for alone, it would feel just if he kicked it. As long as the teabaggers didn't use it as an organizing and fundraising tool. In that case, let him suffer until the day after Election Day.

Thankfully the best technology our great nation can supply will be used to keep him alive long into his eventual prison sentence.

We're witnessing classic Saul Alinsky tactics here from Dan Savage towards Vice President Cheney, specifically Rule 11:
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame..
Dan Savage is a well trained Soetoro-bot.

Canuck, I wasn't expecting it at all. If you'd told me I would have this reaction I'd have called you a liar. But watching that video with no clue what it would be, it made me smile soooo much. It made me...happy? Even now, just thinking about it, there's so much backstory to fill in imaginatively I can't help smiling.
23
I'd actually be happy if the died after Election Day 2012. That way we can continue blaming his ass while he's alive. It's not kosher to blame a dead guy.
24
Okay, Gus, now you're making me laugh...and I don't want to laugh about those guys! They do seem pretty happy, though. You do realize you're going to have to change your name from "gloomy," though, right?

@25 Slog needs a widget, or whatever you call it, for that link, right in the "add a comment" section.

If he dies, i know exactly were they should bury him and it could stop the oil spill at the same time.
I think they call it a "junk shot."

have you "unpacked" that clit clipping controversy critique of your stance yet? or was the claim that you had not time to "unpack" it just a way to get around not being bright enough to argue against the Slate writer?
plenty of time to post pics that freak you out and pray for the death of a dbag, but no time to read a critique and defend your opinion. again, let Sullivan handle the real work. keep to the important questions of what to do with cum rags and such.
not that the cleanliness of cum rags is not important. it's just that you don't seem to know what you want to be - a sex columnist more interested in entertaining and getting street cred than actually informing, or some serious blogger. pick one for xrist sake.

When Charles II regained the throne of England, they dug up his usurper's body, Oliver Cromwell, put his corpse on trial, beheaded it, and then displayed the head in an iron cage for several years.
I think Cheney deserves no less.

33
yeah what most of y'all said.. since we're ALL gonna die it's just business as usual when he does..for me to attach some cosmically inspired joy...well ...there should be some inscripted flourish like angel bearing cold steel trumpets blaring his name. a procession of trolls coming for his plasms, some theme music..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqTi0ZFDawY&feature=related
34
I wish Vice President Cheney a speedy recovery!
...so he can be seized & put on trial at the Hague for crimes against humanity.
And may "The Dick" not have an easy out by dying of a heart attack.

He's like a cross between The Penguin, Old Man Potter from It's a Wonderful Life, and Darth Vader.
Mostly, I'd like to hit him in the face with a snowball, just to make him angry. I think I'd really get a laugh out of that.

you poor girls and your wasted youth
Cheney will spit in your Liberal faces from his deathbed.
And laugh at you from Hell.

Schadenfreude is bad karma, Schadenfreude is bad karma...I keep repeating that to myself. Bad karma, bad karma. It keeps me from shrieking things that would get the SS knocking on my door.
