Dick Cheney kept a secret resignation letter in a safe while he was vice president in case his shaky health suddenly deteriorated, he said in an interview released Wednesday.[...]
"I did it because I was concerned... for a couple of reasons," Cheney told NBC television.
[...]
"One was my own health situation. The possibility that I might have a heart attack or a stroke that would be incapacitating. And there is no mechanism for getting rid of a vice president who can't function."
Oh, Dick, you of all people know that’s not true.
Cheney, who suffered his first heart attack in 1978 at age 37, remains a prominent Republican and will soon publish a book entitled, "In My Time.""There are gonna be heads exploding all over Washington," Cheney said of the book.
Cheney’s favorite event…exploding heads.
And he isn’t ashamed to say it.
"I would strongly support using [waterboarding] again if we had a high value detainee and that was the only way we could get him to talk," Cheney said.
Now what is the other reason he kept that letter in the safe? If, in fact, he actually did.
Perhaps the interviewer never followed up. I suppose if you want to risk stomach ailments, you can watch it: on NBC’s “Dateline” on Monday, Aug. 29, at 10pm ET and on “Today” Tuesday, Aug. 30.
Let me know if you find out.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
