Achy Breaky Heart (The Dick Cheney Song)
 
If Dick Cheney ever did karaoke, this will be one song you will not hear him sing...
 
You can tell Miss Rice
she'd be a better Vice,
(no Halliburton contracts
when I'm gone.)
You can tell your friends
just what a fool I've been,
and laugh and joke
about me on the phone (that I tap)
 
You can tell my arms:
Never shoot a gun on farms
(You can see my friends
all hit the floor.)
You can tell my lips
to tell my bag of chips,
I won't be reaching out
for you no more.
 
Refrain:
But don't tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'd understand.
And if you tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
he might blow up and kill this man.
 
You can tell your Ma,
I moved to Panama,
you can tell your dog
to bite my leg (but not the calf).
Worried about my health?,
'go F yourself',*
I never really liked you anyway.
 
The Press is a disease,
tell them anything you please,
'Scooter' knows that leaks are all O.K.
Or you can tell my eyes
to watch out for my mind,
I told a West Vir-gin-ia joke to-day.
 
Refrain:
But don't tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'd understand.
And if you tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
he might blow up and kill this man.
 
But don't tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'd understand.
But if you tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
he might blow up and kill this man.
 
*Cheney: Senator deserved the f-word
Posted: 04:10 PM ET
From CNN's Ed Hornick

Vice President Dick Cheney said he isn't sorry for calling a senator the f-word.
 
WASHINGTON (CNN) — Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, deserved it when Cheney launched the f-word at him in 2004.
In an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Cheney was asked if he had any second thoughts or embarrassment. "No. I thought he merited it at the time," Cheney said, laughing.
The incident occurred in June 2004 when both Cheney and Leahy were on the Senate floor.
Sources who related the incident to CNN at the time said the vice president had told Leahy to either "f— off" or "go f— yourself."
 
The encounter during the 2004 presidential campaign, sources said then, was brought on by Leahy's criticism of the vice president over Halliburton Co. Cheney is the former chief executive officer of the oil field services company, and Democrats had suggested he helped win lucrative contracts for his former firm while serving in the Bush administration.
"It was partly that, it was partly also … it had to do with — he is the kind of individual who will make those kinds of charges and then come act as though he's your best friend, and I expressed in no uncertain terms my views of his conduct and walked away," Cheney said at the time.
But as the old saying goes, time heals all wounds … well, sort of.
"And we've since, I think, patched over that wound and we're civil to one another now," Cheney said this Sunday.
