After 9/11 Cheney Lost It — Traveled with Gas Mask, Space Suit, and Doctor

A new book chronicles the early days after the 9/11 attacks, when Dick Cheney was always reported to be hiding in an underground bunker or a bomb shelter or an orbiting space capsule. Turns out extreme paranoia really did take hold of the vice president.
On Oct. 18, 2001, a White House alarm went off indicating that sensors had detected dangerous levels of radioactive, chemical or biological agents. According to Mayer, anyone who had entered the White House situation room, including Cheney, had been exposed. “They thought Cheney was already lethally infected,” said a former administration officer who had kept the White House secret until now, according to the book.
…It turned out that the detection system had a malfunction and there was no hazard.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a while. The image of a paranoid Cheney in a spacesuit trying to be heard by his aides through the helmet is priceless.

This sounds like a guilty conscience from the guy who was in charge of the first gulf war and who was secretly planning another one.
“This is Ground Control to Major Dick…”

It cracked me up too. LOL No wonder he is in hiding most of the time. Maybe all those crimes, deaths and torture he is responsible for are getting to him. He knows he deserves killing and afraid of how many others know too.
That’s why he refuses to answer subpoenas, testify or turn over papers and emails.
I lose sleep wondering if there will be another election or the SOBs will nuke Iran and cancel it to keep control and power.
