Print This Email This "You Don't Know Dick!" is back on the Daily Show. The feature devoted to fun facts about Vice President Dick Cheney has previously revealed -- as Jon Stewart reminded viewers -- that "he has a man-sized safe, he has custom-made classified stamps, he has removed his house from Google Maps -- and he has a mystical power over wolves." "But did you know that Dick Cheney is also a master of acting completely counter to what he says?" Stewart asked his audience. Last week, Cheney ominously warned the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, "We are at war with an enemy that wants to cause mass death inside the United States. We're in a heightened threat environment with a persistent and evolving terrorist adversary. ... Nobody can guarantee that we won't be hit again." Cheney was painting this dire picture as a way of urging Congress to legalize warrantless surveillance of phone calls and emails. "The vice president feels the government has the right to examine emails for potential wrongdoing," Stewart explained. "And so prepare to present utter contradiction and -- go!" continued Stewart, as he pointed out that "also last week, it came out that the vice president's office could not account for 16 days of emails that they had been ordered to preserve." "Which brings us to today's quiz," Stewart concluded. "Is this situation (A) Ironic, (B) Hypocritical, (C) Hyponic, or (D) Why Did You Buy a Copy of the Koran Through Amazon, Jon Stewart?" "How the hell did he know that?" asked Stewart in amazement.
