Cheney Injures Back, Decides to Stay Put

Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back while moving on Tuesday and has decided to just "stay put" White House press secretary Dana Perino said.

Cheney was reportedly moving the person-sized safe that is rumored to hold Cheney's personal records as well as millions of "lost" White House emails when he injured his back.

His doctor recommended that he remain in a wheelchair and also hire someone to move his things for him.

Cheney, however, had other plans. "The Vice President is looking forward to remaining in office for four more years," said Perino Tuesday night.

Elizabeth Alexander, spokesperson for Joe Biden said, "He can't do that! He has to leave. Now!"

Cheney reportedly extended an olive branch to Biden. "He's invited Vice President Biden to go quail hunting as soon as his back is healed," said Perino.

He was moving boxes. You'd think that the VP would be have people to do that, wouldn't you?
