Boy! That picture with Cheney looking at BO is telling! It’s like he’s saying, “I’d like to pop you one you little jug eared commie”. “Go back to Kenya”.
When do you think this item will show up on CNN, PMSNBC or the AP wire?
It is an old story and occasionally it does surface but only grudgingly.
I believe you can deduct only up to 50% of your income. On the 27.89% excess above that that the Cheneys are giving, they get no break this year from Uncle Sam.
Oh, they’re very charitable. The difference being, they want take away OUR money so they can give it away, while Cheney gives away HIS OWN money.
I like Cheney’s cloak and dagger outfit he has on in the first pick.
In that second photo, why does he look so much like Mussolini? Or was that the intent.
Could you imagine if Obama did this? It would be evidence of Sainthood.
And Al Gore. And John Kerry. And...most every Demonrat. They talk a good game, and the media laps it up like a hungry dog, but when it comes to actually, you know, GIVING AWAY MONEY TO THE POOR, Republicans and conservatives come out way on top.
Notice, by the way, that this was a 2005 charitable gift - the 2004 election (his last political campaign) was long over when he and his wife did this, meaning that it was done purely from the heart, not for any kind of career gain.
Thank you, Mr. Vice President, for being a thoroughly decent human being!! Damn, but I miss you being the one a heartbeat away, and I tremble in fear at the thought of that big-mouthed dimwit Biden becoming President.

...and Dubya looks like he’s checking his pockets for that 64 oz can of whoopass from just after 11 Sep. I miss my old CinC.
Colonel, USAFR
I want that pic of Cheney giving the Evil Eye to Maobama. Damn, it had to be REAL hard not to spit or take a swing at him.
She should be imploring them to produce, to build, to design, to grow, to make money. Giving back isn’t a goal. The goal should be to achieve success so you don’t need to be given anything. I don’t deduct my charity. I help people directly. It is not Uncle Sam’s business and I don’t need a write off for the money I give man or God. I do hope to give more but on my own terms.
OK, OK, let's get this thing right. To the extent that any charitable gift exceeds 50% of your Adjusted Gross Income (bottom figure on page 1 of your 1040), you carry it forward for up to 5 years. Cheney did get all of the deduction for this, just not until later.
Which doesn't diminish this huge gift in the least.
WTF is up with that guy (besides his chin, that is)? What’s HE got to be so arrogant about, the weasily little turd?
From Obama's 2000-2006 tax returns:
You have to build a nest egg before you can start giving it away- that is what the young should be encouraged to do.
Shelley is a huge hypocrite (surprise) because all accounts of their lives are that she has always taken care to complain and get paid off pad her nest while giving back very slim pickings- and even that to black charities only
“It is an old story and occasionally it does surface but only grudgingly”
Thanks for the info. I guess that proves my point to a greater extent than I even imagined.
