EXCLUSIVE
Must credit The Capri Lounge
Vice-President Dick Cheney this afternoon expressed his "deep embarrassment" by the topless photograph of him scheduled to appear in an upcoming issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
"At the time, I was led to believe that this photograph was an artistic expression," Cheney said. “However, in seeing it now, I can only conclude that I received bad intelligence. I am full of deep embarrassment and I apologize to my fans. All two of them."
A spokesperson for Vanity Fair said the magazine's photograph "speaks for itself."
The spokesperson said that the shoot, which took place at an undisclosed location, occurred with the full consent of the White House, Vice-President Cheney’s wife, Lynne, and Cheney's longtime assistant, George W. Bush.
"No one had any illusions," the spokesperson said. "During the shoot, digital photos were shown to the vice-president and he was able to comment on them and make suggestions."
The spokesperson did not comment on reports that the magazine airbrushed out the vice-president's horns.
This is not the first time the Vice-President's conduct has proved embarrassing for the White House. In 2007, photographs leaked of the half-naked vice-president attending an Ice Storm-style "key party" at the home of Trent Lott. The previous year, Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion while on a hunting trip in Texas. There was also the whole Iraq war thing, which has become a bit of a headache.

According to "Did you know" (above), "
There are MORE people who LOVE, RESPECT and ADMIRE Cheney than all of Keith Olberman's fans combined..."
Where did you find such a poll? Cheney would have to sprout tits to rise above single-digit approval numbers.
Moreover, the only country that could bestow such popularity on Cheney would have to be Saudi Arabia.

That has to be "photo-shopped" because no male could have titties that beautiful! More than a mouth full is a waste as they say. I bet his wife is so jealous! (Please tell me this is a joke.)

Hey he's getting old its natural, but if a Democrat was in office he would probably offer him a cigar,(Maybe he got a stain on his blue shirt)

C'mon, Rolling Stone, you actually have a pretty good Politics section. Leave this stuff to The Onion. You've got too much credibility for these cheap shots. ("Huhuh, ol' men got titties.) That said, on a smaller frame, that'd be a full B-cup.

He may have more fans than Keith but he certainly has less respect for the constitution. All I can say to you goose steppers is get some real intelligence.
Joe | April 30, 2008 4:37 PM
That isn't the first time he's "received bad intelligence."
Did you know | April 30, 2008 3:34 PM
There are MORE people who LOVE, RESPECT and ADMIRE Cheney than all of Keith Olberman's fans combined? Twice the number! Probably more. What do you expect from an ESPN REJECT! Oh, you take him seriously with his political commentary...sorry. Well, I'm waiting for Jim Rome to come out with Democratic Insider, then!
What a bunch of democrats....try winning a race - won't you?
Gotta love it!

That's not a very funny joke. There better not be any real fans...
you're an idiot | April 30, 2008 1:59 PM
um..., the "fans" comment was a joke, idiot.

"Articles" such as this made my decision not to renew my RS subscription easy.
How come we never see something like this done to a Democrat?

What is this?! D-listed.com? Rolling Stone is one of the few things that I hold sacred and they pull this crap? Really? This would have been great about 27 days ago.
wow | April 29, 2008 6:22 PM
if this were real, him and bush would have had my vote
cubey | April 29, 2008 6:04 PM
I dunno, I think he looks kinda hot.

I think the biggest tragedy in this that parents shell out $1,000,000,000 annually to the Disney Corp for the Hannah Montana brand. Instead of Mathematic, engineering and Science education or better Image encouragement for young girls-- instead the media's continuing dumbing of our young girls to look like titty Angelina or titty Britney...but since rolling stonze gets to mock chaney it may be worth the bill... and you have to wonder why Bush is president and we are in Iraq...are priorities are in ouranus'
