Sometimes The Daily Show
"You see what you did there? The logic trap you fell into? You're thinking of Dick Cheney as some kind of...person."
"He's not a...he's not a person?"
"John. No human being could simulaneously contain so many self-negating ideas without suffering some sort of brain injury—or heart attacks. Even multiple heart attacks."
"But then, what...what is Cheney?"
"Vice President Dick Cheney is a fleet of cyborgs stationed around the world in vacuum-sealed pods every 15th line of latitude. He—or should I say, they—is a technological marvel. And each replicant is programmed differently. The Cheney XR-7 is programmed to convince us that we are safer and winning the war on terror, while the Cheney-VR Turbo will stop at nothing to keep us in a perpetual state of submissive fear. The Cheney-BF 3000 loves his lesbian daughter, but John, do not get her near the Dick Cheney Omega-8: he thinks she's an abomination."
