Darth Cheney Wows Them at CPAC

The evil lord of the Bush realm, Dick Cheney, surprised the conservatives gathered at CPAC today and gave them a little red meat:

Former Vice President Dick Cheney made a surprise appearance Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference to pay homage to the movement and declare that Barack Obama will be a “one-term president.”

Cheney came up on stage after a speech by his daughter Liz, who hammered Obama’s policies on terrorism and laid blame on administration officials for the attempted Christmas Day bombing.

The room exploded with excitement for the former vice president, who was greeted with cheers of “run, Dick, run!”

“A welcome like that is almost enough to make me want to run for office again — but I’m not gonna do it,” he said.

Cheney made clear that he has passed the torch to his daughter, of whom he said he is “enormously proud.”

I think Cheney would be a terrific president, but I don't think he wants the job and I don't think he could get elected. Maybe some future president can use him as a Chief of Staff or top advisor again or something.
