Cheney Demands Pay Raise for Providing Bush's Voice
Veep marches with outraged Simpsons voiceover artists.
From Borowitz report.com:
Vice President Dick Cheney today joined the cast of the animated series “The Simpsons” on the picket line, demanding a substantial pay raise for doing the voice of President George W. Bush.
“Vice President Cheney has been providing the voice of President Bush since January of 2001,” a spokesman for the Vice President told reporters. “All he wants is a salary that reflects that contribution.”
While it is not known what precise dollar figure the Vice President is seeking, his spokesman said he was looking for “a salary in line with other performers who provide voices for cartoon characters.”
The administration certainly seems like a cartoon a lot of the time.
