Because nothing says saving children like Dick...

Cheney that is. Today on Slate.com, Fred Kaplan posted a opinion column making several compelling arguments for sending Cheney back to the Bunker. Those of us here in the Boiler Room couldn't agree with Mr. Kaplan more.

Dick Cheney at Legal Aid Justice Center? Working with needy children in tough situations? Supervising the JustChildren Interns? What could be better? Not only would our former Vice President bring a wealth of knowledge about child rearing and discipline to the Bunker, but he would also bring his notably warm and pleasant demeanor, uplifting the spirits of all who work there and, I'm sure, more than a touch of energetic enthusiasm to the job. Obnoxious prosecutors might ease up on those nose-breakers if they knew that legal aid was preparing the Bunker for water-boarding exercises, and I'm sure clients would be more than honest with our former Vice President there to gently keep them on track. Watch out for leaks though, as we all know the consequences for dropping client information are much worse than those for letting slip the identities of certain CIA agents.

So, if you're reading this Mr. Cheney, please, listen to Mr. Kaplan and head on over to the Bunker. Those Just Children interns are waiting anxiously for you to "gently encourage" them to stay on track.

Send Cheney Back to the Bunker! - Fred Kaplan, Slate
