2.5 hours… just enough time to shred the Constitution, declare war on 14 different countries and shuttle Alberto Gonzales across the U.S.-Canadian border.

Maybe with the title, President Cheney will have an epiphany, learn from his mistakes, and start thinking much further ahead than how to stuff a few more dollars in a special interest pocket. I don't expect that soon. Mission Accomplished Indeed. Balderdash!

There is no hope; but I could be wrong.

Please..Please… Please……All you people who voted for Bush/Cheney and still think they are ok…..please don't vote anymore…spend the time on election day cleaning out your navals…the country would appreciate it and you'd be more productive

Wow! Hold the presses: Dick Cheney is running the Executive Branch!!!!!!

This is the first time I've ever seen a major news network being 6 years late on a story.

I thought GWB was ALREADY under anesthesia!

Ummm, who cares? Really now…

Ha ha ha… this board really does show that Rush is right: CNN is definately for the left wing wackos.
Good God (can I say that or does it offend anyone?), Cheney didn't kill the country.. what a surprise.

[...] Bush colonoscopy [...]

Seems healthcare in America is getting better. I wonder how much his co-pay.

Long live President Cheney!

Do you think we could find three people in America that trust Dick Cheney?

[...] Righty Bloggers Want Cheney To Pardon Libby July 20th, 2007 When news broke that Dick Cheney would be standing in for Bush for a few hours tomorrow, an interesting chorus sounded in the rightosphere.  From the front pages [...]

W has to have been praying for a "light at the end of the tunnel" for some time now. Who says God doesn't answer prayers?

[...] I can only imagine what the late night shows will be doing with this: President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy Saturday, and will transfer power to Vice [...]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh…my God…I hope we will not start another WAR in 2 ½ hours. This Man will Pardon himself and issue blank pardons for future and then approve impeach immunity before handing back power to Bush. God help us.

Dear "REDSTATE : July 20, 2007 3:37 pm"

Of course nobody likes when its President is criticized/insulted – The President of a country is supposed to represent the best image of its people and the logic would be the election of an intelligent individual (right or left wing) not someone that did not know before invading Iraq that there were Shiite and Sunny Muslims!! Or someone that cannot talk by himself without saying anything stupid unless he reads a speech. Having G.W. Bush as President sure makes all of you look dumb – On the other hand, Cheney is far from being stupid (but he is a fascist).

I would like to insist that it is often not the American people being insulted/criticized by the outside world but your government and its foreign policies of spreading freedom – somehow, you have to show the world that 70% of you are against killing people for oil, or you could ask your government why they doesn’t “spread democracy” to Saudi Arabia or Kuwait.

When the governments of Canada, France or Germany refuse to invade a sovereign country in 2003, the US media where making fun of the French, showing people dumping wine on the street in New York and calling French Fries “Freedom Fries”. Four years later who made the best choice.

maybe they will find Osama in there

Hm. I love how Bush advocates cancer screening, but most Americans can't even afford it because they don't have health insurance. That's why it's the 2nd most common cancer in America. That's why a lot of people die in America. Nice work Bush. Nice work.

[...] sound you hear is of libtards loading up their bongs with a double helping trying to survive the coming horror (link via LC & IB Ace): WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy [...]

Cheney you the man:
Wichitia ks?
You still haven't got it right!

One more try. Come on, you can do it.

Now don't quote me and I'm sure this is nothing, but the bible does say the people will give the devil all authority for a hour to commit destruction. I'm not calling Cheney the devil, but this world is really hosed and this just adds to the interest in revelations. Intersting.

To Denise "Wicthia" is a small small suburb across the big ditch from WICHITA and as far away from the College Hill area as possible. Thanks for asking and thanks for correcting me.

Welcome to the United States of Haliburton! If you have any oil, we will take it.

I wasn't using my rights anyway.

Okay, Dingbats: Here are YOUR legislators who voted to go to Iraq and now you mindless twits are blaming one man – the President. Get your facts straight.

Posted By DEMSDUH : July 20, 2007 3:01 pm

Yes, we do blame the President and his administration, because they gave FABRICATED EVIDENCE to Congress in order to gather enough support for his declaration of war. It's too bad no one on the right side of the aisle was smart enough to see past that and vote "nay".

Regarding the Senate vote:

The majority of Democrats in the House, and a majority of all Democrats combined voted against the war resolution.

A resolution that war would be used as a last resort after the Imperial President went back to the UN for a second vote.

He never went back for that second vote.

The Republic Party needs to stop filibustering the will of the American people, and choose national interest over the politics of backing Dumbya and his failed policy in Iraq.

In responce to the list of senator's who voted to go to war, didn't like 9 of them read the report about the pro's and con's of going to war in the first place? Unless one of the under dog's with no finacial backing somehow wins the next election were going to end up w/ more of the same people in Washington not doing their jobs.

One thing is for certain once the biased media gets the liberals in complete control of DC the insurance premiums will go up. After all hard someone is going to have to pay for ther "universal healthcare"

Add some E85 by-products like formaldehyde and acetate, or carcinogenic refinery run-off like benzyne, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and lead to his anesthesia mix so he knows how it feels to breathe in Texas. Maybe the doctors will locate the $12 billion missing in government money contracted at Halliburton.

Cheney you the man:
Wicthia KS? Where is that?

First, learn to spell the name of your own city. Then you can work on politics.

Aha! Al Qaeda's secret plan is to work at Blue Cross and deny the President's insurance claims until he dies of colon cancer. They really have learned true terror from Americans, but I guess they didn't learn that the President doesn't have to suffer at the hands of his own private insurance companies with all the government-paid doctors he gets.

DEMSDUH, neither of my senators voted for the president to go to war. Does that mean I can still blame the president?

To the "dingbat" that posted the Senate vote:

THE MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS IN THE HOUSE VOTED AGAINST THE WAR RESOLUTION!

and more Democrats, in total, from the House and Senate voted against the measure.

We won't even get into the fact that it was suppose to be a last resort after the Imperial President went back to the UN for another vote.

He never went back to the UN for that vote!

The Republic Party needs to stop filibustering the will of the people!!

To "Paul, GCPDM, Canada:"

FYI – Because I work 40 hours a week and on top of that, raise a family, all while not blaming President Bush for my own fiscal responsibility, I don't watch much t.v., Mr. Canada. However, when I do, I watch ALL of the news channels – even though all of them cater to liberals like you. Unlike people like you, I don't stick to one man to get my "facts". Gee, Lou Dobbs is so non-partisan. And also, be careful criticizing another country's president lest you find yourself up against the wrath of Congress like Hugo Chavez did. We don't like our President criticized by other countries – he's still OUR President!

Wow, the three guys who actually support Cheney made a comment. I didn't know in anyone like that really existed or if there were people who really are that naive and stupid to actually still support this moron and Bush.

"Cheney you the man in Wicthia KS" –

Ditto to that!

Liberals – Should we send you a "fax" to give you the President's health status? Oooops, my bad, your legislators don't read them – that's right. haaaaaa

God help us, alright – from the people that suffer so severely from BDS that they spew childish venom on boards like this. Grow up people!

This time around they will probably find a cancer cell (aka Billary) a cancer that will spread far and wide, until the whole country is infected with its liberal stink.

Okay, Dingbats: Here are YOUR legislators who voted to go to Iraq and now you mindless twits are blaming one man – the President. Get your facts straight.

The moron will probably declare war on Iran, Syria and North Korea simultaneously.
The moron who wrote that comment apparently never read the US Constitution.
Posted By Tony, Lake Worth FL : July 20, 2007 2:26 pm

—-> And obviously neither has Bush or Cheney.

This just like the Harry Potter book issue. The doctor's just want a sneak preview of Bush's IRAQ exit strategy. And no fear about Cheney having supreme executive powers, by his own admission he isn't part of the Executive Branch. Only in America…

Imagine what he could do in two hours

Maybe while they're in there, then can work on Bush's brain.

Dear "REDSTATE : July 20, 2007 1:56 pm"

I guess you are among the 30% of Americans who are either putting lots of $$$ in their pockets or retarded. If you are not retarded you better protect your wealth by buying some GOLD.
Bush for 6 years was enough to put the final nail on the coffin of the dollar – this government betrayed its citizens for its own interests. When the Chinese or Japanese stop recycling their surpluses in your country the US will be officially BANKRUPT.

Stop watching Fox News and switch to Lou Dobbs for a month

Remember the 2000 elections? I do, and what stands out in my mind the most is the scene when the Congressional Black Caucus walked out of chambers in protests of the ratification of the election results, which was marred by the thousands of African-Americans who's votes were thrown out. Now America, you got what you wanted…a den of vipers in the White House. Review what has happened to America and its good will that took most of the 20th century to develop. The blood spilled for profit, heads of state assassinated via CIA (Remember Mosedeq in Iran overthrown by CIA and replaced with Sha Rezza), now you have a band of sicko's who need blood for profit in the white house. And to think, some 'Americans' are OK with that. YOU BROUGHT THIS ON YOURSELVES! Reminds me of the fall of Rome, but this time the barbarians ARE in the gate and running the show. Fat, comfortable American public, enjoying sick sit-coms on TV while their country went to hell. You had a chance to be a REAL American then and stand up for what was right, but since those disenfranchised had darker hued skin it was acceptable. Now look at your country. You snooze, you loose!

The moron will probably declare war on Iran, Syria and North Korea simultaneously.

The moron who wrote that comment apparently never read the US Constitution.

Finally!! Cheney's genious is unmatched, and you all are too liberally lefty to see it. No matter what you continue to cry about, this patriot will continue to serve our country with shrudeness. I only wish he'd run in 2008!!!!!!

Thank you for your comments “IF Colorado: July 20, 2007 1:59 pm".

I do realize that "only" 30% of American citizen are behind this administration, which is still amazing. Unfortunately, the all country has to wait until 2009 to see new faces.

On another note, Stephen Harper, our relatively new prime minister in Canada is also moving our country in the wrong directions on all important issues (environment, Medicare and social security).

How can anyone defend either one of these men? They ignore the constitution, promote discrimination on a governmental level, spend billions on a war to get soldiers killed for oil (btw with that money Americans could have free health care for life), and scandal after scandal say they support whoever is the scapegoat, then do whatever it takes to keep those involved from answering for their actions, and then finally say they had no idea what was going on. Bush has poor policy on every front, and Cheney.. Well evil evil.. I don't care how "moral" people think Bush is, the guy used the religious right to get elected, protested a hand count (which he had promoted when a TX was in question) and then somehow reelected! Are you seriously saying this guy is a good president?!? Hopefully history isn't blind to the immoral and anti-American BS of this Administration. While the Dr's are up there can we request they insert a brain?

BTW wanting the troops out doesn't mean I don't support the troops.. it means I support their right not to leave their families and put their lives in danger unless it is for a good (and real) reason.

i dislike bush…greatly…BUT..i will pray for a healthy report, no problems during the procedure, and get him back to work asap

GOD HELP US IF THE VP should have to take over. t'would be the Kingdom of Haliburton.

Hey America, glad to see ya wakin up to the sorry truth about this administration. It's hurts to admit how far wrong we have gone when most Americans are worried about their VP officially taking the helm, if even for a couple of hours. The blinders are off for the vast majority and the rest… well just know, when you finally DO remove them…we'll welcome you back to the fold.

It's far past time to……
IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!

Well said:
Paul, GrosCulPleinDeMerde, Canada : July 20, 2007 1:51 pm

Sadly, this kind of critical thinking does not seem to agree with the remaining 30% who approve of Bush.

I don't know why President Bush needs a colonoscopy – all of the a-holes are writing comments here! Good luck, President Bush! Don't listen to the left wing NUT JOBS! Grow up, idiots!

To everyone complaining about the negative (but very funny and apropos) comments about this, ask yourself if maybe there isn't a reason for all of these comments. I, for one, am glad to see that so many people realize what is going on in this country.

At least – It is nice to see that this Country if mostly awake, and has a clear picture of how bad things are. I should have gotten my passport earlier.

BREAKING NEWS FOR SATURDAY:
Cheney fires BUSH for not granting Libby a FULL PARDON…Lynn Cheney to be the new VP. Donate $5000 to the Libby defense fund a recive a blank pardon. Offer expires in 2 hours

God, help us.

GOOD LUCK, MR PRESIDENT! I hope you receive a clean bill of health.

And please don't give much time to the "comedians" posting here. When the average American knows every contestant on American Idol but is clueless as to the cabinet members of the White House… THIS is what you get!

If Cheney wants to do anything useful as temp. president of the United States, he should actually address the Global Poverty issue on an executive level. According to the Borgen Project, 78% favor helping poor countries develop their economies as a way to fight terrorism. If he listens, the people would definitely appreciate it.

If I'm the government of Iran on Saturday, I'd be on full alert for the time W's under.

Let's all hope he doesn't manage to bomb Canada in those two hours.

Does this mean that Cheney is "officially" a member of the Executive Branch????

How long did it take the Roman Empire to fall?

3 hours? Few. Ok good, I was worried there for a second.

Geese, I'm more worried about stepping in dog doo doo in my local city park. You people first need to get a clue. Once you have a one, GET A LIFE! Cordially yours,

The moron will probably declare war on Iran, Syria and North Korea simultaneously.

I think they're going to finally find the WMDs – those two brain cells Bush has been operating with.

Oh lord, heaven help us. No telling what Darth Cheney will do when the sith lord is under. I am guessing break more laws, ignore the constitution and throw in some torture for good measure.

Lets hope during the Procedure on Bush they find his Brain.

This will be the only pull out W is involved in all year

This place is quite an echo chamber of 'hate Bush' venom.

Luckily, brainwashed leftists are rarely put in charge of the country.

Is it possible to impeach Cheney during these 2 1/2 hours?

Prayers are with the President, and with the country.

DailyKos must be filled up for the BDS sufferers to post here.

How could he take power ? I thought he wasn't in the executive branch !

The caption for that article should have read, "President Bush is going to have his brain examined".

Look up the 25th Amendment on Wikipedia if you really want to be scared. Cheny can keep power for up to 27 days by convincing the Cabinet that Bush is incapable of being President. The war in Iran could be over and lost by that point.

The end of humanity has come. Tricky Dicky will push the price of gas above $4.00 a gallon so Haliburton's stock price will soar and he will be even richer.

If anything both Dick Cheney and President Bush should be impeached over Iraq. Bill Clinton lied about having sex while Bush and Cheney lied about the reasons for going to war with Iraq. Which is worse? It's a shame this congress hasn't held them accountable. It's also a national disgrace how this administration refuses to pardon our border control agents as they sit in jail for doing their job to protect the American people. This administration is going to go down as the worst in the history of the country!

Section 3 of the 25th Amendment: "Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President."

Point: Bush regains power when he wants. Cheney cannot hold on to it. Don't you people watch West Wing?!?!?! ; )

Bush under anesthesia. Cheney in charge… How is this different than every other day at the White House?

If I was other countries around the world, I'd have my military on high alert because ol Cheney might just have fun invading another country and trying to find those WMD's!

Umm… what is political about this story? Why is this on a 'political ticker.' "The CNN Political Ticker provides the latest political news." Isn't this just standard operating procedure. News… OK. Political? I don't think so. And you wonder why CNN gets the biased slant thrown at it…. so sad.

As someone who recently had a colonoscopy…I can only wish the preparations are just as "pleasant" for the Shrub as they were for me. He certainly deserves it…had I known he would have followed in my footsteps, it would have made the evening much more tolerable!

I would be nice to get eight years of Cheney as President, not just a three hour tease. America needs someone of his intellect and determination to continue the fight against the two great evils: terrorism and socialism.

is this surgery exploratory, looking for W's head?

This is probably the end of the world as we knew it. I'm scared.

AMEN!!!!!!! See Justin's comment 1:04 p.m.

Wait — someone distract Cheney with a phony WMD story while Congress goes and digs up the Constitution where ever those two burried it in the White House lawn.

Why can't he go to Walter Reed? Makes no sense to me why he can't.Nobody deserves it better than our Chief, Right?

Cheney=Military Industrial Complex Death Machine Personified.

Maybe this time they'll find all the missing "Weapons of Mass Destruction" that Bush has been looking for that wasn't under the furniture in his office.

Well said Justin!!!!

You guys are babies. All afraid of a little old man.

democratic party seal – Google it!

- The Cat

Hey, I was going to say the one about the president's head being up his colon! Someone beat me to it! I hope it is a BIG CAMERA! Maby then GW will feel our pain.
I love you guys!

Isn't this what the Impeach-Bush crowd has wanted all along??

Merry Christmas y'all!

GOD HELP US ALL! and GOD BLESS THE USA

Will they remove Fox News while they are in there or just let them stay. It may cause an infection later.

Cheney president for 2-1/2 hours, this is very scary.

From it's refusal to take responsibility for it's actions (unethical and otherwise), removal of the line between church and state, proposing discriminatory amendments, to it's "money grows on trees, who needs the middle class" spending habits, and ending with refusal to acknowledge checks and balance.. I had thought nothing more this administration did could scare me. However, knowing that our Vice President, who changes legislative branches like a squirrel, will be President even for a few hours is truly frightening.

For the record, Mr. Akbar, just because a person thinks that the Bush/Cheney administration is the worst in this nation's history doesn't necessarily mean that they're a 'liberal,' it means they're a concerned, educated, attentive, free-thinking American concerned with our country's past, present and future being tarnished by such brazen acts of political negligence under the guise of patriotism.

For those 2 1/2 hours we all need to pray that Dick Cheney will not carry out any hidden policies and destroy the world.

Hasn't he pretty much been the president since 2001, anyway?

After they clean out Bush for the procedure, will there be anything left of him?

CHENEY FOR PRES PERMANENT

Yeah not a big deal. Everybody knows Dick Cheney is really the one that calls the shots.

Does this mean that for two hours he WILL be a member of the Executive Branch??

Well it looks like the U.S. is going to be attacking Iran tomorrow, its about time.

GUT FEELING….HE WILL PARDON HIMSELF AND ISSUE SOME BLANK PARDONS FOR FUTURE

Wow! If we can get Dick's ticker turned off for awhile then Nancy Pelosi takes over and she'll have time to order the troops home and sign the children's health care bill. Neat!

Please, someone lock up the hunting guns.

Oh what fun!! Haliburton gets to run things for a couple of hours!!

Pretty remarkable fora guy who isn't a part of the Executive branch.

I bet he asks for another deferment at the last second.

Oh, God help us all … even two minutes is too much!!!

Saturday headline: Bush briefly transfers Presidential power to Cheney.

Sunday headline: The U.S. starts bombing Tehran.

In a strange way, there is poetry in this story.

You know what they're going to find up there, don't you?

Bush's head and Cheney's hand.

Shrub has got to be sweating.
He grew up in an organized crime family and he's got to know that he's become expendable.

Oh what fun…. Haliburton gets to run things for a couple of hours!!

Well, at least there is hope that they will FINALLY find the weapons of mass destruction…

What difference does a formal handover of power make? Cheney has been running the show since day one while Bush has been nothing more than a puppet. This changes nothing.

They are looking for that pain in his butt. I bet they find the Constitution.

I was wondering how the show '24′ was going to make it's comeback next season…

Maybe the doctors will actually find some "weapons of mass destruction", since the whole WMD farce was essentially pulled from Bush's…

Perfect timing — everyone will be so busy reading Harry Potter that they won't notice a coup.

I'm taking a History of the American Presidents class at University now. From what I remember, Cheney can technically not relinquish power back to George Bush, if he so chooses to.

LORD…..please watch my country during Cheney's watch

too bad he isn't allergic to anesthesia, then he can know how he makes the rest of us feel

Hasn't he been the defacto President all along?

The comments above show the ignorance of young liberals.

One word: YIKES!

A scarey scenario!
The only person worse for President is Cheney.
Why do we have to reveal this info to the enemy?
What a wonderful time for them to attack.

Are they looking for an Iraq exit strategy or has Karl Rove gone missing?

Oh My God…just when I thought it could not get any worse. Is there any law that says if you have a bad heart you can not be president….God Help us.

The world will be praying that Bush successfully comes out of the anesthetic if Cheney is left in power. All the best President Bush.

Impeach President Cheney!

I can't believe how far CNN's standards have fallen! I can't believe CNN allows childish comments like this to be posted on their website.

CNN, you ought to be ashamed!

With Cheney as president for a few hours, which executive privileges will he abuse? My guess is all of them.

Cheney as President? Even if it is only for two and a half hours, it will be plenty of time for Dick to conjure up some of his lawyers and have plenty of pardons typed up for all of his minion friends. I wonder how long it will take him to conjure up a pardon for Hitler in hell so they can talk strategy about Iraq.

If Fidel Castro could survive it, so will Bush – notwithstanding, Michael Moores probing.

The sad thing is that neither alternative is good. Cheney scares me more than GW!

The daily Bush butt news.. thank you!

The other comment is exactly the same as mine:

GOD HELP US ALL. UGH. Enough said.

Run for the hills!!!!!!

No – It is GOD and His SON JESUS CHRIST – HELP US PLEASE!!!!!

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

Colonoscopy? Maybe they will find his head!

Are you kidding!!!!

They must be searching for his brains,(colonoscopy)as there was none in his head

Oh lord. Not that Bush is any better, but if he doesn't wake up I'm emigrating to Canada!

I was ging to ask if there were any laws about not being able to declare war against another country unless you are President for more than an hour—but then I remembered who we're talking about; Cheney doesn't think laws apply to him.

The colonoscopy will be easy to do. Just have him open his mouth and shine a light in it.

Two and a half hours is more than enough time to start another war.

I thought he was already President!

How unfortunate, they are barking up the wrong ass!!

How will the Doc know what end to start from?

Our worst nightmare!

So Bush is having a colonoscopy? He needs his colon worked on because the man sure does create a big stink!

Babies are small.

Ah yes. Just long enough for us to send forces to Iran, well played Mr. President.

Doesn't Bush get a colonoscopy every time he looks in the mirror!

Maybe now they'll find Bush's head

I say we will be in war with Iran within the 1st hour.

Wouldn't that be redundant?

Wouldn't be surprised if they found a foreign object lodged up there roughly matching the shape of Iraq.

He already had complete control. Begin the impeachment process now!……Ron Paul 2008!!

Finally some one is giving Bush what he has been giving us for the past 7 years!

Well I suppose it's about time… the title finally becomes official for Cheney, if only for a brief period. After all, isn't he the one who's really been running this country since Jan. 20, 2001?

Awesome — just as millions find out how Harry Potter confronts Lord Voldemort, the Dark Lord becomes acting President!

Uh like he hasn't been president during this whole administration?

You took the words right out of my mouth!!

I'm not that worried. He won't be President long enough to launch a nuclear attack against Iran.

Will he?

How is this news? Cheney's always had all the power.

What are you talking about. He's been president all along!

You got that right, Robert!!

Man, the late-night jokes here practically write themselves.

I guess when one bum is out of commission, the next one has to step in.

Be sure to lock up your civil liberties tomorrow morning before you leave the house

Here's Bush's exit plan! Question is will Darth Cheney give up the power since the Constitution has been shredded? I'm betting not!

Won't it be difficult to get around his head to scope the colon?

I guess this is the "gut feeling" that Chertoff had.

Posted By Robert, Edwards AFB, CA : July 20, 2007 12:30 pm

Looks like he just might be doing that…

hand over presidential powers to Vice President Dick Cheney while he is under under anesthesia.

God help us!
