Hey Dick, W.Virginia Called and They Want Their Joke Back
WASHINGTON—Vice President Dick Cheney threw a verbal insult at West Virginians on Monday, but quickly apologized.
Talking about his family roots and how he's distantly related to Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, the vice president noted that he had Cheneys on both sides of his family. "And we don't even live in West Virginia," Cheney quipped. "You can say those things when you're not running for re-election." West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, quickly asked Cheney to apologize. "I truly cannot believe that any vice president of the United States, regardless of their political affiliation, would make such a derogatory statement about my state or any state for that matter," he said. On Capitol Hill, Cheney's comment was denounced by both Democrats and Republicans. "This is exactly the type of stereotyping that we don't need from our elected officials," said Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va. "It's disrespectful, and it's certainly not funny. ... As a proud state, I can say we are disappointed." |
No one can take a joke anymore.
But if I was in WV and my cousin was hot...:D |

Not only has W.VA claimed ownership of the joke, but so has a 1973 episode of "Hee-Haw".

Who would'a thought Cheney would be capable of sneering at a whole state? I mean he's only been sneering at about three fourths of the country for 7-8 years.
He's not running for office but other Repos are. Thanks uncle Dick. |
Cheney is a Dick.

They have been making the same and similar jokes about my home state of Kentucky forever. I enjoy the joke. Everybody takes themselves too seriously. Cyndi Lauper says, " If you thake things to serious, you can die of starch"
