Cheney Likes The Wife’s Ladies, According To Craig Ferguson
Posted on October 31st, 2009 by olivia
Craig Ferguson has given us all something a little disturbing to think about. According to him, when he gave a comedic address at the White House in 2008, Cheney had a little too much fun eyeing his wife’s goods, if you know what I mean.
Ferguson spoke about how the former Vice President kept staring at his wife’s breasts, sometimes openly goggling at them.
A few awesome quotes from his new book, American on Purpose, explain it all better than I could ever paraphrase. Such as when Mrs. Cheney was discussing art with Ferguson’s wife, telling her about the Picasso paintings she owned. When asked where she hung them, she said:
“Oh we don’t,” replied Mrs. C. They’re nudes, and we have grandchildren. We don’t want them to see them when they come over.”
“But they’re Picassos,” protested Megan.
“But they’re nudes,” smiled Mrs. Cheney dangerously.
I put a hand on Megan’s elbow. I didn’t want trouble. You don’t want to be on the Cheney shit list… Once they were gone, I told Megan that Dick Cheney had been ogling her breasts.
He also commented about what it was like to meet former President Bush:
He smiled that big goofy smile of his and walked over, a moment in my life so surreal it’s matched only by the time I was pursued by what I imagined to be killer ducks during a bad acid trip…
For months before the event, I had fantasized about what I would say to the president if I did have a private conversation with him. Would I take him to task for everything he had done that I so profoundly disagreed with, berate him for his foreign policy, his strategy in the Middle East, his disregard for the Kyoto Protocol and the Geneva Conventions?… I was unable to resist the opportunity to voice my dissent, and throwing caution to the wind, I charged him with a biting… “Hello, sir, nice to meet you”…
He disarmed and surprised me because he wasn’t what I expected. I’d watched way too much MSNBC and was prepared to meet a drooling moron…
We had been talking about Scotland; he had visited for a while when he was younger and expressed a sort of puzzled awe at the amount of drinking that was done there, hinting that he had taken part in a fairly major way. We talked a little about the dangers of booze.
The book sounds interesting, and certainly funny. I remember watching Craig Ferguson when he was on The Drew Carey Show, and I have loved him ever since.
If you are looking for something to put on the book list, American on Purpose might be a good choice.
