Shreddin' For Truthiness

This photograph has been making the rounds in the liberal blogosphere the last couple of days. It shows a truck from Mid-Atlantic Shredding Services outside "His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Dick Cheney, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea, and Conqueror of the Baa'thist Empire in The Fertile Crescent in General and Iraq in Particular" compound at the Naval Observatory. Mid-Atlantic Shredding Services has been contracted by the Secret Service to handle all the White House's shredding needs. Naturally, the liberal blogosphere has gotten itself into a tizzy regarding this development.

Exactly what is Dick Cheney shredding in there?

The liberal blogosphere, of course, assumes the worst, but I'm here to tell you, babycakes, that according to my well-placed operative within the Cheney compound, that our honorable Vice-President is simply trying to dispose of the three tons of credit card applications he has received from Capital One over the last six months. I believe all of us can relate.

Thanks to Wonkette for the picture.

Hotcha!
