I'm not into politics but this cracked me up. I love the Onion

WASHINGTON—Organizers reported Sunday that the 44th White House Carnival was a rousing success, raising a record $800,000,066,845 for the federal government—$800 billion of which came from a dunk tank featuring former vice president Dick Cheney

HA! I'd donate $100 just to get to dunk Cheney. Although I'd probably aim for his forehead instead.

No, no. You don't understand. He knows stuff that I want to know, and obviously hasn't disclosed it yet. Clearly a case for "advanced interrogation techniques".

fine, then you water board him, and when he comes up for air, I'll pepper him.

If he loved his country (and could raise this kind of coin doing so) he should do his duty and make this a reality.

Honestly though, I would feel intensely weird throwing to dunk any VP. I bet I would be so nervous I'd never hit the buzzer. Then again, maybe it's all those nervous misses that raised the figure to such a high level.
