Cheney Named Poster Child for National White Imperalist Month
Raetgers - In a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House today, George W. Bush announced that Vice President Dick Cheney would serve as Chairman and Poster Boy for National White Imperialist Month.
"We have tolerated National Black History Month in February, and National Women's Month in March, so it's only fitting that us white imperialists finally get their own month," the commander-in-chief said today, reading off a teleprompter. "And when it comes to white imperialism, Dick Cheney is 'Da Man!"
Cheney, wiping a tear from his eye in an undisclosed location, said via remote satellite hook-up that he was proud to accept this honor, and kickback from Halliburton for the reconstruction of Iraq contract.
"I pledge to do everything i can to bring the problems of white imperialists everywhere to the forefront of Freepers all across this great land of ours, except for New York, California and parts of Wisconsin," the Vice President said.
"America was never innocent. We popped our cherry on the boat over and looked back with no regrets. You can't ascribe our fall from grace to any single event or set of circumstances. You can't lose what you lacked at conception.
"Mass-market nostalgia gets you hopped up for a past that never existed. Hagiography sanctifies shuck-and-jive politicians and reinvents their expedient gestures as moments of great moral weight. Our continuing narrative line is blurred past truth and hindsight. Only a reckless verisimilitude can set that line straight."
