WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Vice President Dick Cheney pulled a muscle in his back while moving boxes and will be in a wheelchair for Tuesday's historic inauguration of incoming president Barack Obama, the White House said.

"Vice President Cheney pulled a muscle in his back today while moving boxes into his new house," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

"Under his physician's recommendation, the vice president will be in a wheelchair for the next couple of days, including for tomorrow's inauguration."

She said that despite the setback, the 67-year-old Cheney "is looking forward to being there for tomorrow's historic inaugural activities" on the steps of the US Capitol, where Obama and his vice president, Joseph Biden, will be sworn in.

For Cheney, one of the most powerful and controversial vice presidents in US history, the muscle pull is the latest in a series of health problems over his eight years as vice president.

The boxes filled with the babies that he and his wife must consume daily in order to continue to exist.

The only downside to this is that it will take Dick longer to get the fuck out of town. He'll probably ruin the inauguration by stroking out as Obama takes the oath of office.

damn, you were pretty close but whoever went with sen kennedy seizing at the post-inaugural luncheon wins your office pool, Blue.
