VP Cheney Shoots Man

[Kelly]

It makes you wonder how a person with terrible eye sight can even GET a license to hunt.....the LAWS on that need to change...unless he got it thru his connections as VP....I hope he has enough sense to give up hunting now before he really hurts someone bad or worse kills them...by the way homer you forgot to say "DUH"!!!  lol

[foxx]

I say we send him hunting at the Whitehouse :o

LMAO...I totally missed this upon my first reading of the thread...
If we could only be that lucky watts... >:D

Dickie ;D Chenny shot someone
   his eyes are crossed he could have killed him he was shot in the face with
      pellets a bad shot of course like I said his eyes are crossed  :-\  But I guess who he shot by accident was the sitting duck lmao ;D

[pogohatesme]

What everyone is neglecting to see, and trust me, I'm in NO WAY AT ALL sticking up for Cheney, is that the man he shot is at fault for being shot.  He came up to them and didn't announce himself or make it known that he was there......they were sighting the birds and following them.  If he had made the simple task of makeing himself known we wouldn't be here discussing it.

Hi Pogohatesme
   Yes true in what you say,   But they do wear orange when they hunt at least they should be
     Next time maybe the hunted<< should yell out( BEHIND YOU)  ::)  they  were not  hunting for Bear<,
         only a bird or what ever     I respect your opinion  Pogohatesme  O0

I think I'll take a shot  :P at the White House.

I'm gonna run on the Robin Hood Ticket.

I take from the rich and give to everybody!  :D

No doubt I'd be assassinated based on that idea. :o

Homer...seriously...you can count on at least one vote.  We have the Reverse Robin Hood right now... :-*

[Homer]

Thank you foxx. :-*

Unfortunately my ideas would likely get me killed in a hurry.

I know all politicians aren't bad but damn if there aren't a lot of bad ones.

The rich get richer
The poor get poorer
Those of us in the middle can't catch a break.

Politicians easily forget they are supposed to do what is in the our best interest not what is in their best interest.  :o

There are absolutely no excuses for the problems of government/society today. They can all be fixed. The problem is the government doesn't want them fixed.

:D Good to know he's not in trouble or anything right?!?  Just a warning from the Parks and Wildlife Department for not having a proper stamp on his hunting license.

[enonymous]

we've found weapons of mass destruction finally!! oh..wait..its just Cheney..   ::)

[Bree]

I hope they take away all his guns so he does not shot anyone else.  He is a dangerous man when it comes to the shooting of guns. ::)

[SouthPadreIsland]

Tonight I heard Cheney got into some trouble because he was missing his stamp for wild game.  And did anyone see the rep with the media - it was tooooooo funny and brutal.  Asking how long before Cheney would be resigning and all kinds of stuff.  Hilarious!!!!!

[hades]

hes just half blind and going senile  :-X

[justahumping]

hes just half blind and going senile :-X

lol. not only that, but he did not have a real gun, well so to speak anyways. it was a 28 guage shotgun? (Do they really make them that small? )......  lmao... If you are going hunting, use a REAL gun, anything smaller than a 12 guage is childs play, or vice............. nm

TV Comedians Target Cheney Accident

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Television talk shows took aim Monday at Vice President Dick Cheney's accidental weekend shooting in Texas of a hunting companion. Here are a few of the jokes.

``Late Show with David Letterman,'' CBS:

``Good news, ladies and gentlemen, we have finally located weapons of mass destruction: It's Dick Cheney.''

``But here is the sad part - before the trip Donald Rumsfeld had denied the guy's request for body armor.''

``We can't get Bin Laden, but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney.''

``The guy who got gunned down, he is a Republican lawyer and a big Republican donor and fortunately the buck shot was deflected by wads of laundered cash. So he's fine. He took a little in the wallet.''

``The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,'' NBC:

``Although it is beautiful here in California, the weather back East has been atrocious. There was so much snow in Washington, D.C., Dick Cheney accidentally shot a fat guy thinking it was a polar bear.

``That's the big story over the weekend. ... Dick Cheney accidentally shot a fellow hunter, a 78-year-old lawyer. In fact, when people found out he shot a lawyer, his popularity is now at 92 percent.''

``I think Cheney is starting to lose it. After he shot the guy he screamed, 'Anyone else want to call domestic wire tapping illegal?'''

``Dick Cheney is capitalizing on this for Valentine's Day. It's the new Dick Cheney cologne. It's called Duck!''

``The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,'' Comedy Central:

``Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a man during a quail hunt ... making 78-year-old Harry Whittington the first person shot by a sitting veep since Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton, of course, (was) shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honor, integrity and political maneuvering. Whittington? Mistaken for a bird.''

``Now, this story certainly has its humorous aspects. ... But it also raises a serious issue, one which I feel very strongly about. ... moms, dads, if you're watching right now, I can't emphasize this enough: Do not let your kids go on hunting trips with the vice president. I don't care what kind of lucrative contracts they're trying to land, or energy regulations they're trying to get lifted - it's just not worth it.''

``Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,'' CBS:

``He is a lawyer and he got shot in the face. But he's a lawyer, he can use his other face. He'll be all right.''

``You can understand why this lawyer fellow let his guard down, because if you're out hunting with a politician, you think, 'If I'm going to get it, it's going to be in the back.

``The big scandal apparently is that they didn't release the news for 18 hours. I don't think that's a scandal at all. I'm quite pleased about that. Finally there's a secret the vice president's office can keep.''

``Apparently the reason they didn't release the information right away is they said we had to get the facts right. That's never stopped them in the past.''

[foxx]

LMAO....

They were all pretty funny...but words cannot express how much I love Jon Stewart.... :-*
