Cheney-Dick 'accidentally' shoots someone

[JTF]

astonamous,

I think it truly was an accident and that Cheney probably feels like the biggest ass on the planet.

There are two things I can't stand though.

1. The right-wing apologists that feel this whole thing is blown out of proportion and should just be swept aside like he farted on mike or something. I mean, the VP of the USA shot a man! That's what we call news!!!

2. The way this is being handled. Bush said today that Cheney "pulled the trigger" and "saw his friend fall." I absolutely hate disassociative speach. I wish Cheney had come out Sunday and said "There has been an accident. On a hunting trip I made a mistake that any first-time hunter should know not to do. I turned quickly and fired at what I thought was a bird. I mistakenly shot a friend of mine. Thankfully, it appears he will be as alright as a man can be when getting hit with birdshot. I am cooperating fully in the local authorities investigation into this accident." If he had said that, there would be none of the circus surrounding this. There would be a few jokes, sure... but none of the crap going on. But the one thing I have not heard Cheney do is admit any mistake on his part. What a dick.

Too bad the dems didn't have disassociative speach as a part of their line...Bill Clinton could have said "I took off my trousers one afternoon. I noticed a stain on an intern's dress."

deepseas,

and now his kickback buddy comes to his defense. friends and politics don't mix. it leads to unethical situations

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11407623/ - Whittington speaks....'

all's I know is anyone else would have been strung up on charges. or say the hired black (if they're allowed on the property) or mexican help accidentally shot the same person, you KNOW this would have been A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY!! and probably would have involved Cheney-Dick beating down the shooter in defense of his friend and that quieted down too.

deepseas,

naah they just wanted their 15 minutes and are definitely ready for their closeup. people are doing some dumb things in support of Cheney-Dick.

now let's just bet on the next screw up or cover up.....

deepseas,

actually the duck wouldn't have to do anything else because right about there, he's going into cardiac arrest because he's so in shock that someone wants to give up the panties to him, well someone outside of the white house circles, that is. I'm sure there's some freak paid for his "private needs". and I have to wonder how many cardiac teams are on standby while that's taking place.

ok, gotta go get that visual outta my head. *gross*

deepseas,

wait, did anyone ever believe a word he said. well those not asking "how much will we make from this deal?"

deepseas,
I love these two:

A. Doctors estimated between 5 and 200. Nice margin of error there. That's 102 plus or minus 97.

A. That's true, but because it is Texas, we're most likely looking at a ten dollar fine for shooting a lawyer out of season.

deepseas,

yeah and I bet whittington or the host paid it for him too you know as part of a kickback
