Get well soon, Dick Cheney

Today he was hospitalized with chest pains and he’s now resting comfortably. On the slight chance that he or his family and friends are reading this, the only thing I have to offer by way of well wishes are some “Chenyku” I came up with last May, right after he and Obama had those dueling speeches on the war on terror. Here are a few:

***

Yeah, I shot that guy
And I had some heart attacks
And I kept you safe

***

I’m bald and morose
I don’t look good in swim trunks
Eight years, no attacks

***

Dear Los Angeles:
We stopped an assault on you
“Hey, thanks” will suffice

***

Look out, terrorists!
Obama’s secret weapon:
Approval ratings

***

Every time I sneer
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed faints
Try that one, Barack

***

When you attacked me
I disclosed my location:
All up in your face

***

Redefine “torture”
To mean anything you want:
Waterboarding worked

***

Hello, Jon Stewart
You cried on September 12th
But haven’t since: Why?

***

Remember, lefties
I’m not running for office
Your polls make me laugh

***

This isn’t a smirk
You’re just not worth the regard
Of my entire face

***

Here’s to your speedy recovery, sir.

Update: Mild heart attack. I wonder if it’s possible for the people who don’t like him to try to imagine how they’d feel if this happened to them or someone they loved? And, accordingly, STFU?
