What would you do if Dick Cheney got in your car?
By DEANNA DAHLSAD
Wise Amin, the taxi cab driver, pulls over to pick up his fare. At
first he is impressed that such a powerful businessman has selected his
superior cab, but when the fare gets in, Amin realizes he has a problem...
The passenger wheezing "Take me to the hospital" is none other than "The
Big Dick" Cheney -- "the shadowy power behind the throne, the
puppetmaster, Darth Vader but without the barbecue grill" -- and he's
having a heart attack.
Amin is no longer impressed with his fare, but he takes his duty as cab
driver seriously, so he can't just push him out onto the street or take
him to the animal clinic on the corner. No, as the self-dubbed CEO of
Quickly, Amin rushes Cheney to the nearest hospital.
However, for the few minutes the two share the taxi, Amin shares his
thoughts. From his personal fears that he will need to make a public
apology or end up at Guantanamo Bay, to his thoughts on politics in
general, Amin reveals it all.
This is one fare that leaves Amin saying "Get out!" and vowing "No more
politicians in my cab!"
