Yesterday evening, White House press secretary Dana Perino had to make a final announcement regarding outgoing Vice President Dick Cheney: He hurt himself while helping with his move to McLean, Virginia and pulled a back muscle. Yes, Cheney, with his history of heart trouble, was apparently helping with the move. His doctor said he should use a wheelchair for the next few days—which means he'll be attending the Inauguration in a wheelchair. "The vice president is looking forward to being there for tomorrow's historic inaugural activities," Perino said.



to pass along a related tweet i saw WRT this from last night:
"I wonder if this is a deep metaphor for how crippled a state the country has been left in by the Bush-Cheney administration."

What I really dig is that they wheeled Cheney down to his seat but Biden's 90+ year-old Mom had to get up out of her chair and walk down the stairs. WTF?
