It was day one of the Libby trial. Imagine what was in his inbox.

LOL, can’t fault the man for being normal :)

He might have been applying for a quail permit.

By the way, I think it’s pretty clear that most of the “sleepers” in the audience were also blackberrying it up, rather than sleeping.

Perhaps someone asked him to give the Blinker of the House some Visine.

It’s good to see a man of his years that is cyber savvy.
Bill Clinton had to be helped to send that email from the Oval Office to John Glenn in space and as of a couple of years ago, didn’t know how to use an ATM machine and even though Gore claims he invented the Internet, have we ever been treated to the sight of him using the web?

cheney: i think i just saw a quail fly by speaker pelois

Defector01 on January 25, 2007 at 10:22 PM

He was making sure his “people” had sent out an invitation to Wolf Blitzer for a little quail hunting.

Cheney looks just like my dad. I think that’s why I like him so much.

Shall we drive the moonbats crazy? Huh? Shall we? O.k.!!

DICK CHENEY IN ’08!!!!

Troy Rasmussen on January 25, 2007 at 10:31 PM

He was just doing it to squeeze out a fart, knowing he was on national TV.

THAT is why Nancy was blinking so much………

PinkyBigglesworth on January 25, 2007 at 11:05 PM

Troy, how about Cheney/Rumsfeld Yeah!

Buck Turgidson on January 25, 2007 at 11:37 PM

He was checking out the new threads on HA :)

Most odd was that Mr. Clinton wrote his wondrous book, in his “technological age” in long hand and had it transcribed by someone else. I’ve never looked at him the same since I found out.

Entelechy on January 25, 2007 at 11:43 PM

All I can say, is it’s good that he is still on top of things durring peacock shows. . . or he just saved alot of money on his car insurance.

Actually, I’d imagine they were all messaging each other.>>>

Cheney:
“Dennis, it’s windy up here. Like a quail flapping it’s wings.”

Hastert:
“No Dick, it’s Nancy’s eyelashes fluttering. I wish I could sit with you. I always enjoyed our view.”

Cheney:
“She either just popped one or there’s a propane leak in here.”

Hastert:
“Nah, it’s her perfume. I got a taste earlier while she was making friendly. The 2-faced be-awch.”

Cheney:
“I’m with you Dennis. I wish that frickn’ Pelosi would take her gang and re-deploy. It wouldn’t be this way if you awholes had gotten off your seats and got something done. Anything besides spending money would have got ‘r done.”

Hastert:
Did you get that e-mail from the official Dick Durbin ‘elect Barack O’ fund? I printed it out and wiped my bott with it.

Cheney:
“Hey Dennis, hold on I got a call coming in from Wolf Blitzer. I wonder what he wants.”

Griz on January 25, 2007 at 11:56 PM

would it be corny to say that the VP was playing duck hunt on his blackberry?

Defector01 on January 26, 2007 at 12:15 AM

What was he thinking after reading that message?

“Hmmm, I sure hope Indy can beat the spread…”

infidel4life on January 26, 2007 at 12:50 AM

Dark Lord Rove was sending an important message – must keep the leftist rebels fooled, for now.

Rick on January 26, 2007 at 12:57 AM

Buck – Cheney/Rumsfeld ’08 – I’d second that motion.

Dark Lord Rove – that’s hilarious.

CP on January 26, 2007 at 1:17 AM

LOL!!! I love it.

Subject: Read me – Urgent.

Lord Cheney,

The Ewoks have broken the Empires back on Endor. Please send reenforcement or Death-star at once.

Sincerely,

Lord Rove

Who’s next, Dan Quail?

(sorry)

Gives the appearance that the country is being run and decisions are being relayed during the address, so any potential enemy doesn’t conclude that we are completely vulnerable during that time.

Perchant on January 26, 2007 at 9:16 AM

The pres doesnt use Email because it is so insecure *cough* leaks/hackers *cough* – and for the moonbats it eliminates a possible paper trail for when the Skull & Bones send action items.

Neo on January 26, 2007 at 9:21 AM

He just got an email from his gay daughter “I’m having twins Daddy!”

Drtuddle on January 26, 2007 at 10:14 AM

He was also eating something–mints to keep his breath kissing-fresh for Nancy?
