Cheney to Bush: Stop Calling Me SkeletorWashington DC "George, your father had great respect for me. That's why he asked me to join your administration. For my real-life experience in other administrations, and my no-nonsense demeanor. If it weren't for me on the ticket, I doubt you would have been elected. In fact, most people assume (correctly) that I'm running everything. With that knowledge, I ask you to please, please... Stop calling me Skeletor!
"I know you think it's funny, but it's starting to effect the way the White House staff treats me. Because of your disrespect, even the gardeners feel they can poke fun and call me names. Why, just yesterday, Jorge held up his rake and said, 'I have the power! ! !' "At first, I thought it was cute that you insisted on setting up your 'Castle Greyskull' on the floor in the oval office. I mean, if a grown man wants to think he's He-Man, who am I to judge? I suppose, in a way, you are the master of the universe. "George, mark my words, when I'm dead in two weeks, you'll regret having called me Skeletor. And when my rotting bones look eerily similar to the body of Skeletor, I will come back to haunt you wearing a hooded cloak and carrying an over-sized sword or that staff with the rams head on it."
When confronted in his office with the question, "President Bush, do you feel that you show a lack of respect to your vice president?", Bush replied "ya mean this fella here?" while holding up a Skeletor action figure while stifling a laugh.
