When Cheney tells you to sit down, you don't look for a chair
Ever see American Dad by the creator of Family Guy? Not a great show, but there was one funny bit where God calls Bush and asks him not to invoke His Name so often. Bush agrees and then God gets a Call Waiting signal - it's Cheney on His other line. God answers with a "Yes Sir!"
I bet Cheney secretly loved that, while publivly proclaiming it to be blasphemous.
Ah well, as Abbie Hoffman once said, sacred cows make the best hamburger.
