AH'M PLEASED TO INTRODUCE VLAD THE IMPALER Vlad the Impaler

See : Cruelty
?

VLAD'S A GOOD MAN.

PUNDITS AGREE IT WAS A SHREWD CHOICE. THE IMPALER HAS SOLID CONSERVATIVE CREDENTIALS, HE'S ANTI-OTTOMAN EMPIRE, AND HE DOESN'T EMPLOY A NANNY.

MR. IMPALER, FIRST LET ME SAY THAT I HAVE TREMENDOUS ADMIRATION FOR YOU AND YOUR PUBLIC SERVICE.

THANK YOU.

I THINK I SPEAK FOR ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES WHEN I SAY HOW PLEASED AND HONORED WE ARE THAT YOU ARE HERE TO CHAT WITH US.

OH YES.

IF I CAN ASK ONE TEENY-TINY QUESTION WITH MY REMAINING TIME--D-D-DO YOU STILL FAVOR INDISCRIMINANTLY SKEWERING PEOPLE ON SPIKES AND SUCKING THEIR BLOCK THROUGH TINY NECK HOLES?

YOU KNOW, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT MY POLICY IS ON THAT. I'D HAVE TO CHECK MY NOTES.

NO PROBLEM!

THAT'S OKAY!

SO, AFTER THAT CONTENTIOUS GRILLING, VLAD VLAD Vertical Line Array DIFAR
VLAD Vinten Low-Angle Dolly
 WAS CONFIRMED BY THE SENATE 99 TO 1.

HEY, I FELL A LITTLE LIGHT-HEADED! WONDER IF IT'S A FLU.
