He sure looks happy, and that reflection sure looks kinky…

The California Nurses Association is launching a new national campaign highlighting what the group has dubbed “CheneyCare,” or guaranteed, publicly-funded health care for all Americans. The advertisements, inspired by the success of the group’s Iowa ads declaring that Vice President Dick Cheney “would be dead” if he did not have publicly-funded health care, appear in several newspapers and on select political blogs today.

It’s long been rumored in Washington political circles (especially Democratic ones) that one of Dick Cheney’s old Halliburton numbers appears in the records of “DC Madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey, but now questions are multiplying regarding the Cheney matriarch’s faithfulness. New York Magazine this week published a piece by columnist Kurt Andersen, who states at one point, “I’m not talking about idle Schadenfreude, the fleeting, naughty satisfaction one takes, for instance, in Dick Cheney’s shotgun accident or his wife’s extravagant flirtations with a friend of mine over the years or even (forgive me, God) his atrial fibrillation last week.” Andersen is keeping mum on which of his friends Lynne Cheney has been making advances toward, but word is he’s younger and - no surprise - in better health than Dick.

On Tucker this evening, Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said he sees nothing “radical” about impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney. “This isn’t a political move,” said Kucinich. “This is something that I feel is needed to protect our Constitution.”

Last week the Democratic presidential candidate was prepping to impeach Dick Cheney. Now he says he’ll take down President Bush himself. The news came during a conference call Kucinich held with supporters on Monday evening. David Swanson, an activist who spoke directly with Kucinich during the call, summarized the contents of his conversation in an e-mail obatined by Raw Story. “He is going to introduce a privileged resolution on the floor of the U.S. House Tuesday morning to force a vote on his resolution to impeach Cheney,” Swanson wrote, adding that Kucinich “wanted to let everyone know that he will not only continue pushing for the impeachment of Cheney but will also take up the impeachment of Bush with a new resolution.”

Lynne Cheney must be fuming today that she recently revealed her husband Dick Cheney is related to Barack Obama. After all, the Democratic contender for president has taken to belittling his family ties while on the campaign trail.

Noting that in the next presidential election in 2008, Cheney’s name will not appear on the ballot because he has been around for two terms, Obama said yesterday: “We’ve been trying to hide that cousin thing for a long time.

“Everybody has a black sheep in the family . . . a crazy uncle in the attic,” Obama went on to say. And the crowds went wild.

Rep. Dennis Kucinich announced that he will force a vote next week on his resolution calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney.

“The momentum is building for impeachment,” Kucinich said in a statement released on his Web site. “Millions of citizens across the nation are demanding Congress rein in the Vice President’s abuse of power.

Kucinich’s resolution, which has 21 Democratic co-sponsors, is expected to be tabled and killed. Nancy Pelosi has indicated that a Cheney impeachment is “off the table.”

Earlier today Jimmy Carter was forced to explain a UFO sighting he had years ago because Kucinich raised that topic in the Democratic debate earlier this week after he was questioned about his own sighting, recently unveiled by actress Shirley MacLaine.

Kucinich’s full statement follows after the jump: Read more…

He dresses up his dogs!

And he even likes to dress one up as Darth Vader — hmm, wonder why that costume is hanging around the VP’s residence?

George W. Bush said today that Vice President Dick Cheney, sometimes caricatured as Darth Vader, does not need a costume to play the sinister Star Wars villain for Halloween.

“This morning I was with the vice president. I was asking him what costume he was planning,” Bush said. “And he said, ‘I’m already wearing it.’ Then he mumbled something about ‘the dark side of the Force.’”

Cheney himself has stated publicly that the nickname doesn’t bother him. “After all, Darth Vader is one of the nicer things I’ve been called recently,” the vice president said earlier this month.

“Vice President Dick Cheney is coming to Dutchess County again to go hunting, according to two sources familiar with his plans. Cheney will arrive Sunday night and head to a hunting club in Dutchess Monday morning,” reports the Poughkeepsie Journal. “Cheney is expected to arrive Sunday night at Stewart airport and travel to a hotel in Poughkeepsie, sources said.”

Last year, the VP famously shot a fellow hunter.
