Dick Cheney Dunk Tank Raises $800 Billion For Nation at The 44th White House Carnival

Do you honestly think that we'll get this kind of mileage out of Biden? I doubt people ever let Dick Cheney fade into history. I suspect he'll become an element of folklore. like Dracula, Bigfoot and the "Where's the Beef?" lady...

Organizers reported Sunday that the 44th White House Carnival was a rousing success, raising a record $800,000,066,845 for the federal government -- $800 billion of which came from a dunk tank featuring former vice president Dick Cheney...

According to carnival sources, a visibly irritated Cheney, clad in sandals and a white cotton robe, arrived at the one-day event shortly before 10 a.m. After removing his robe to reveal a black, 1940s-style bathing suit, the vice president reportedly touched his hand to the water, muttered something to himself, and was then helped up the tank's ladder by several members of his Secret Service detail.

"All right, you candy arms, let's go," Cheney shouted at the line of people, which consisted of Americans, non-Americans, out-of-work autoworkers, teachers, luminaries from the science community, gays, lesbians, military personnel, members of Congress, children, and the entire Arab-American population. "Hey [former British prime minister Tony] Blair. I see you back there. Think you'll be able to stop crying long enough to throw the ball?"

And my personal favorite part...

One contestant who struggled to hit the target was Sen. John Kerry (D-MA). After nearly 20 unsuccessful tries, several of which involved Kerry standing well ahead of the thrower's line, carnival officials finally allowed Kerry to just walk up and press the button with his hand.

Oh, John Kerry. I'll miss you most of all. source>>>
