Cheney's Incest Joke Unloved

Dick Cheney's incest/West Virginia joke at the National Press Club didn't go over well.

When the folks of West Virginia heard the joke, including Gov. Joe Manchin, they were upset.

Here's what happened. He got into a discussion about himself and Barack Obama being eighth cousins. Then came this. He revealed that he recently learned there were Cheneys on his mother's side of the family as well as his father's side. He quipped, "So I had Cheneys on both sides of the family and we don't even live in West Virginia."

He has since apologized, through a spokeswoman. No word yet when he'll apologize for everything else he's done.
