Nurses' Union: Cheney Would Be Dead By Now
Some might view it as distasteful - Vice President Dick Cheney's office calls it "outrageous" - but a nurses union is sticking by its eye-popping ad running in 10 different Iowa newspapers today. The ad features a cut-out newspaper article about Cheney's latest hospitalization for heart treatment with the boldface words: If he were anyone else, he'd probably be dead by now.

Showing why you don't mess with people who put up with the kind of shit that nurses put up with, a spokesman for the California Nurses Association and the National Nurses Organizing Committee tells the Washington Post's The Sleuth blog that it's Cheney and the Bush administration who are outrageous:"What's outrageous is we have an administration that sits on its hands while we have 47 million people who are uninsured ... This administration has ignored this health care crisis," says Charles Idelson, spokesman for the California Nurses Association and the National Nurses Organizing Committee. "They're indifferent to pain and suffering."
The group is advocating proposed universal government-run health care legislation, one of whose 88 co-sponsors includes Democratic presidential underdog candidate Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio). There's more about the unions' claims and its ad campaign here.

I love this. The ad doesn't wish him dead, it points out a simple truth. If that makes people squirm, then so be it. The right will come out saying Cheney deserves our respect, but come on - this is the guy who told a Congressman to "go f*** himself" in front of his colleagues. The man hasn't shown respect for so much as a ladybug since invading the White House in 2001. Why does he deserve any in return? Because of a job title? Uh-uh. Respect has to be earned. He stole the election, but he's not stealing my respect too.

My chances of outliving dummyU are 50/50 considering his old man's still going strong. I'm pretty sure I'll be around to piss on cheney's grave, as long as I can find the undisclosed location and the line isn't too long.
