FARGO, North Dakota - Former Vice-President Dick Cheney was in Fargo at The Betty and Vanna White Auditorium speaking before the members of The Association of Old Geezers and Geezerettes of The GOP.
He had just finished explaining to the over 80 group why he, Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld, and King, or rather President Bush had felt the need to fool the American people and concoct their story about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.
Cheney said that he wanted to make it perfectly clear that he did not dream up the lie. He smiled and then said that it was totally the idea of Bush and Rumsfeld.
The former vice-president said that he wanted to make up a story about Iraq having a newly discovered diamond mine that was bigger than all of the world's diamond mines put together.
But he said that Bush said that no one really cared about diamonds anymore and Rumsfeld said that everyone knows that diamonds do not grow in such a harsh desert environment anyway.
Someone in the audience stood up and asked Cheney why it was that when he was in office serving as vice-president for a total of eight years he only uttered about 700 words during the entire eight years and now that he has been out of office for one year he has managed to utter about 43 billion words and everyone except for seventeen words have been anti-President Barack Obama remarks.
Cheney turned three shades of red, including his favorite color shocking pink. He started to speak and he got tongue-tied. He took a drink of water and tried to speak again and his lop-sided mouth moved, but no words came out.
He then took a Tic-Tac out of his shirt pocket and popped it into his mouth. After a few moments he tried to speak, but his tongue appeared to be cramping.
Cheney then fell to the floor clutching his tongue and an ambulance was called. He was rushed to Fargo's Land of Lots of Ice Hospital.
SIDENOTE: Doctor Radley V. Fulcrum, the t and t (tongues and tonsils) specialist who treated Cheney said that the former vice-president is suffering from a condition known as Fibalotatitus, which is an affliction that strikes people, mostly politicians, who are prone to lying. And the doctor said that everyone knows that since leaving office Dicky Cheney has done nothing but lie his ass off every chance he has gotten.
