The thanks of a grateful nation

We're a bit behind on our Thanksgiving post, but we firmly believe that we all have Stephen Colbert to thank for the fact that we'll never have to hear the words President of the United States Richard Cheney. One must read between the lines a litle bit, but clearly, courageous man that he is, even Vice President Cheney knew that he could not withstand the coming Colbert for President juggernaut. And so, he has adamantly and repeatedly withdrawn himself from consideration for the Presidency to spare himself the Sisyphean futility and humiliation that would come with such an effort.

And, knowing the Vice-President to be a man of his word, the nation has responded with no known effort to draft him for President (other than the cuh-razies over at the Washington Times or the ongoing attempt to backdoor draft him by impeaching his boss) unlike other potential candidates who have many clamoring for their candidacy despite their repeated declarations they are not running.

Or perhaps everyone just knows how good Dick Cheney is at dodging a draft.
