Dick Cheney in a Wheelchair, Part Deux

I wrote Wednesday about how Cheney in a wheelchair was a sort of pop-culture Rorschach: What villain does he remind you of?

I should have figured that the "Daily Show" would already have gone there (pick up 2:37 in):

In any case, some readers weighed in with their own votes and nominations. I particularly enjoyed "Penguin" from Batman suggestion and the speculation about how he hurt his back—moving all the deleted E-mails?

Cheney wheelchair

Any updates whether he was walking about after the inauguration? I know a lot of people were suspicious that there was more to this than just a back injury.

Cheney reminds me of Cheney. He is one of a kind. What's with all this silly stuff about comprisons to movies and such?
