From Dan Froomkin, WaPo:
"Cheney's gift haul was sizably bigger than the president's.
"He received at least 15 presents totaling $21,674 in 2006, many reflecting the vice president's Wyoming roots and love of outdoor pursuits. They included three fishing rods .... worth $2,975, $615 leather hunting boots, a $400 cowboy hat and a $7,200 bronze sculpture of a Cheyenne warrior. The White House's senior staff ponied up $778 to buy him an iPod and compact disc collection."
I give you: Swingin' with Dick Cheney.
"Swingin' with Dick Cheney." LOL
I hope that's high upon the gallows?

He's listening to streaming audio of prisoners being tortured.

Falwell to Cheney; "Come on over, Dick, it's not so bad being dead. Oh, and PLEASE BRING ICE!!!!"

I saw an article very recently implicating ipods with pacemaker malfunctions. "Interfering with the telemetry equipment caused the device to misread the heart's pacing and in one case caused the pacemaker to stop functioning altogether"
Your post isn't a reference to that? Maybe the White House senior staff is attempting to get rid of Cheney?
