Pic of the Day

I just noticed something... a bit closer view of the pic I posted the other day.. The pic was taken on the 14th of this month..

Look at Cheney.. He's got that Ariel Sharon look.. sort of starting to lean forward, and the shoulders dropping a bit.. like he can't resist gravity anymore..

Pics from today..






A pic from a couple years ago..




It's not just the difference between smiling and the usual Cheney snarl. It's color and just over all health appearance. Granted, there's more color in the older picture in general, but the subtle cues are obvious. He has that "I'm about to have a heart attack and die" look.

Indeed, that is the Republicans most dangerous political weapon for the mid-term elections this fall. I predict that this October, Dick Cheney will drop dead.. for the party. All they will talk about on the news, night and day, what kind of bounce the Republicans will get from it. They will frame it as "at the risk of sounding morbid, frankly this does have political implications and we would be remiss if we didn't examine them."

Say hello to Vice President Lieberman..

** update **



CNN actually published a mocked up Cheney obit in 2001.. oops..
