yup he did not mean it as a joke, thats a cover, you can tell he wanted to say it, can tell how nervously he sped away from it, guilty conscious.
hope those who worship thdevil burn in hell sooner rather then later.
congrats youve spotted the joke that is the cover.
imagine if you were telling a joke, wouldnt you expect to pause for a laugh?
imagine your telling a joke that secretly excites you for whatever reason, an excitement you want to conceal, no pause, instead the person speds away to change subjects, to stop anyone from thinking to long about the joke.
listen again
i get what you mean though, cheney was a bad guy, deep stater, for sure, so its easy for us to get why hed be compared to satan,
then the left has also always hated him cause hes republican, a busher, so its easy for them to get it too,
which is why its such good cover. people will agree instead of thinking into it.
