"No one knows if Saddam is still alive. They keep showing old footage of him on TV saying that it's live. You know, it's like the same thing we do with Dick Cheney"
- David Letterman
About this Quote

He is referring to the reality that Saddam Hussein has actually not been seen in public for many years, yet news electrical outlets remain to reveal video of him as if it were live. This is similar to the way the media remains to reveal video of Dick Cheney, despite the fact that he is no more in workplace. Letterman's quote suggests that the media is making use of old footage of both Saddam and Cheney to create the illusion that they are still energetic in the general public sphere. This is a humorous way of mentioning the absence of clearness surrounding the whereabouts of both men.
