In a move sure to upset Republicans the White House on Monday announced it has involuntarily signed up former Vice President Dick Cheney to appear on the ABC series “Dancing with the Stars”.
Cheney, in an interview recently aired on FOX News Sunday, called the Obama administration's decision to open a probe into alleged CIA abuses an "outrageous political act." White House Press Secretary Roberts Gibbs claimed. "This is the same song and dance we've heard since literally the first day of our administration. If the vice president wants to do a song and dance routine then this is a good opportunity for him to show his stuff and give his ole heart a workout!”
Gibbs suggested the former vice president's criticism about a newly formed unit responsible for interrogating high-value detainees was also reason for Cheney’s involuntary participation in the popular show but plans had been in the works for quite some time.
"With the major networks in our back pocket we were just looking for a show to put Cheney on. We originally planned on putting him on the water obstacle laden ABC show “Wipeout,” but the producers told us if we water board him we would have to water board everybody. And we do not torture terrorists, or citizens. We would, of course, make an exception for Dick.”
