Washington - Vice President Dick Cheney said he needed something to cleanse his pallet after a particularly heavy first course, so he grabbed the United States Constitution, sitting on the table nearby, and devoured it. “There was no sorbet,” Cheney said. He was attending a White House dinner with various U.S. and foreign officials.
After he ate the document, Mr. Cheney, “Looked like he felt much better… He was certainly ready for the next course,” said an official who attended the dinner and requested anonymity.
The Constitution was apparently being passed around the table so each guest could have a chuckle, marveling at its quaint “rights” and “privileges.” Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, also a guest at the dinner, thought the document was part of the menu, and reportedly asked another guest what kind of fish “Habeas Corpus” is.

Well it’s been over a year since this was written, and a funny thing happened to Count Vader and Uncle Fredo this week. It seems they had a little delayed esophageal reflux when the constitution they consumed over this dinner made its way back up their gullets. That’s right, it seems a prosecutor and grand jury in Texas have indicted these Habe-ass Corpses for some constitutional shenanigans in past dealings.
It’s not nice to eat other people or their rights you know. These boys have very bad table manners and need to have their pallets washed out with soap and prison food for a long… long… time.
