You're right of course. That dire, grim rictus perpetually smeared on Cheney's face is a frightening reminder of the black recesses of his own soul. Still though, the man has assloads of money and I think the Pennybags moniker should belong to whomever is actually richer. Let's run the numbers, shall we?
Cheney stands at a lofty
$94 millionMcCain's seems rather meager at
$44 million.
Now these figures are both 2006, but it seems more likely that they've both only grown in such times. So in fairness, Cheney wins the Pennybags label...
...but loses it because The Penguin is a much more suitable nick name. Seriously, a monocle, tophat and cigarette holder and the bumper stickers should have read Bush/Cobblepot 2004.
Side note: Barack Obama is only worth
$1.3 million in 2006. He's hardly struggling, but it seems surrealy ridiculous that he could be labeled the elitist at all. Hell, according to John McCain, he's only middle class.
