Do you feel sorry for wheelchair ridden Dick Cheney

While I don't feel sorry for him, I don't wish for anyone to suffer, either.
No, I feel sorry for the Iraqi people and US and allied soldiers who have lost their legs or the ability to walk permanently in large part because of Dick Cheney.
Oh no, he gets to sit on his ass while he takes advantage of other people's hard work. Otherwise known as the same thing he's done for the past eight years and then some.
Sorry Wheels, Locutus can't roll up any care.

I seriously doubt that a few if any of the wounded soldiers at all feel that way for Cheney. If they don't you certainly shouldn't...
I felt sorry for him for a bit. I know if I were in his position, I wouldn't want to be seen at the last day in front of the White House in a wheel-chair. I loath at the sign if I ever had to be in one, and I did once and didn't care for it. I don't know how people who are wheel-chair ridden survive everyday. Obviously they have more guts then I would have.
And this is supposed to bring the country together, how?
If we want to bring the country together, then this is not the way to do it.
Oh, come off it. He popped a disk and will get to be wheeled around for a few days, it's not 'Born on the Fourth of July.'
Although, Cheney would kick ass at 'Murderball.'
I agree entirely. OTOH, I think Cheney might be found to deserve physical harm - after a proper trial. I think the standard punishment for treason would count as "physical harm", anyway.
Mallory voted for all three options. 
Damn flip-flopper.
Damn flip-flopper.
Good for you. A wheelchair being a necessary part of my everyday life, I feel sorry for him too.

[Dick Cheney]No, I do not.[/Dick Cheney]
I have expressed, in other threads here, my belief that President Bush has tried to do his (feeble) best for our country. That belief does not extend to Dick Cheney, or certain other members of the administration, who I believe acted in their own best interests, whether those corresponded to those of the nation or not. I would not convict them (or, for that matter, clear Bush himself) based on just my own feelings, but I strongly believe that the new president should allow a full investigation of the previous administration to occur, and if need be, justice to be done. I would hope you would agree, since by what I feel sure will be your assertion, the investigation would find no wrong-doing, and justice would still be done. Things have been ... unusual enough, in the last eight years, that an investigation would be good just to clarify our current situation, if for no other reason.
As do I.I think he is referring to how Obama's change and hope rhetoric supposedly bring the country together is in direct conflict with wanting to push Cheney down the stairs....
And I agree

Glad to see we agree
When it comes to investigations and such, I think that congress or who ever wants to can do so. That is fine with me, but I think, as you say, that they will find no wrong doing.
If Bush and Cheney are guilty of anything I would say 1) They did not communicate their agenda to the people well enough and 2) they took executive power the what they thought the constitution allowed.
I don't think that there was any malicious attempt on their part to do that.
Partially because when they go home today, they will just go home and eat dinner and go to bed. tomorrow they may find themselves in the private sector or retiring. To me, they just don't fit the bill of people who were just thirsty for power.
Sorry? No, no more than any public figure that gets an injury and has to use medical equipment for a few days. Sure, it sucks to be *anybody* with a back injury, but it's not like he's sufferred a permanent crippling injury or anything.
