From Mark Silva's blog:
So, the "VIP container" from which Cheney's pasty, bloating, undead body is decanted is a "luxury" Airstream:
This is the Airstream that was parked in the bay of the C-17 which carried Cheney into war zones. Inside, its gray-leather seating and paneled walls provided a comfortable shelter within the loud bay of the transport jet.
And a shelter from the loud noise of exploding bombs. And the less loud noises of splattering bodies.
I just have one very, very important question:
Does Cheney's container have cryogenic capabilities?

that's just creepy.
now, if only we could encase him in carbonite...
It's Mark Silva
He's the author of the article, not Mark Steyn.
I am a bad, bad person, because
this picture just cracks me up.
Can't figure out which sigh-fi movie it most reminds me of--the obvious one of course is Lynch's Dune and the antigrav tubs the spice-munching starship pilots had to travel in for things like audiences with the Emperor. Of course in this case it's the Emperor riding in the tub, in the tummy of the el crapola freighter.
But "In the Belly of the Beast" is herein reversed and we have the Beast in the Belly of the Bird.
I can just see the president of Airstream holding his head in his hands and chewing out his chief of PR saying "this is not the sort of publicity we want, you know... "
Ceasing to chortle, it's interesting that NBC news last night had a special piece from their medical reporter following the MASH surgeons around Iraq. They showed the setup they use to evacuate the wounded after initial treatment to Germany, and it was just row after row of rack after rack of bunk beds inside what looked like the exact same C-17 type plane. The racks were chained down just like that Airstream, each rig about four beds high, each bed holding a broken, bleeding soldier and accompanied by an IV dispenser and frequently a whole stack of mechanisms and displays keeping each of the four alive for the trip.
Comparisons, indeed.
