How is that libellous and/or slanderous?

If you're in the US, it can't be libel or slander (in this case libel), because he's a public figure and it's not with malicious intent/not meant to be taken seriously. Same reason that satire isn't considered libel or slander.

I want to see a photoshopped picture of Dick Cheney, on a dark night in the rain, scowling and firing a shotgun. :D

In fact, a spoof movie with anguished, verge-of-tears-of-betrayal dialogue would be cool. Like a Sopranos sort of thing. :D

Victim (crying): "C'mon Dick, give me a pass, I've got grandkids..."

Cheney (shouting over the thunder, through tears): "Why did you do it?! Why did you tell him?! You said you supported the project! GEORGE DIDN'T HAVE TO KNOW!!!"

*Boom* pump-pump *Boom* (sqelch)

(Close-up of tears and rain streaming down Cheney's face, as he sobs and keeps blasting the corpse)

Could be really powerful, compelling stuff.

Then he will definately be sued, because if there's one thing Americans don't get it's satire.:p

Homosexuality is still a sin in Saudi. :D

I'd like to see a photoshop of the moderate leader Fredrik Reinfeldt paying an illegal immigrant under the table to clean his house. Now, that would be slander! (http://www.thelocal.se/article.php?ID=3138&date=20060225)

It would make great TV though, if he was portrayed committing a crime of passion.

Is Cheney addicted to hunting "the most dangerous game"? Exclusive photo below proves he's done it again!

I wondered why Georgie hadn't called me back. Damn! I thought we really hit it off while bombing that abortion clinic in sub-saharan Africa.

Oops. That's real slander, isn't it?

By the same token, it can't be libel or slander if you say that you're commiting libel or slander, because that demonstrates a lack of serious intent. But that would make the declaration of libelous or slanderous intent false, thus rendering the statement slanderous or libelous...

That's OK. Islam allows one to have multiple wives.

Did he do it the hard way, with extreme yoga?
Or did he have the help of a few prestigious NS posters?

Enquiring minds want to know.

A bit of both actually. Pictures are available, but only to the blind.
