Good 'ol Dead Eyed Dick. I guess that guy should have raised more money like Cheney asked him to.

[Zkribbler]

It was clearly mistaken identity. Chaney was really out hunting for Quayle.

Cheney probably didn't know that GWB declared the end of major combat ops long ago.

What if he accidentally shot and killed Dubya. Could he still become President, or would he have to shoot the Congress and Supreme Court too?

I'd pay matinee price to see him gun down Jr. (even just grazing his suit yet not breaking his skin) but I'd pay full price plus popcorn and a large soda to see Cheney go berzerk in the halls of Congress. That'd be a story to share with your grandkids...

Cheney Alert
The government plans to establish a color-coded system to warn of future veep attacks

WEB-EXCLUSIVE SATIRE

Feb. 13, 2006 - Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced today that his department would immediately implement a “Cheney Alert” system to warn Americans if an attack by the vice president is imminent.

The Department of Homeland Security has been under pressure to respond to the widespread panic and anxiety that have gripped the nation since Cheney shot and wounded a fellow quail hunter while on a hunting trip in Texas over the weekend.

Across the country, people have holed up in their homes and hoarded food and water, fearing another senseless attack by the gun-toting vice president.

“What we have learned, the hard way, is that Dick Cheney can attack without warning,” Chertoff said. “It is our hope that with this Cheney Alert system we will be able to give the American people some warning before he strikes again.”

The alert system, with five color-coded levels indicating the likelihood of another brutal pellet attack by the Vice President, was derided by some in Congress such as Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del), who likened it to “closing the barn door after the horses have escaped.”

“The fact is, the White House already had ample warning that Dick Cheney was going to strike, and they sat on their hands and did nothing,” Biden said, referring to a Presidential Daily Brief dated February 4 with the title, “Dick Cheney Determined to Strike in U.S.”

Elsewhere, former Education Secretary William Bennett said that he was “outraged” that an NHL gambling ring has been in operation for five years and he was never invited to participate in it.

Technically, yes.

This is shaping up to be yet another Republican scandal. Cheney shot his hunting partner on Saturday afternoon, but White House staff attempted to suppress the story and more than 24 hours passed before the story got out.

Also, local law enforcement officers were initially blocked when they tried to investigate the accident. And they weren't allowed access to Cheney until the following morning - which raises a number of questions, first among them is: was Cheney intoxicated when he shot the poor guy?

Apparently Cheney saw the birds, spun around and shot what had been behind him a second before. Very very stupid and reckless for a hunter to do that.

All I know is, if I ever went a'hunting with Cheney, I'd try very hard to stay behind him at all times.

Ya, he's a pretty tough guy


As long as other people are getting shot at and not him
