Wow, Cheney pulled the trigger on someone literally this time? What a novel idea.

It is the second time, that a quail has embarrassed the office of the Vice President of the United States.

Did he drink the guy's blood?

It gives you the warm fuzzies to know that this idiot is a heartbeat away from having his finger on a more comprehensive trigger, doesn't it?

Does anybody know if the boob that got shot is going to get any NRA insurance money?

How in the world can you not hear someone approaching and not see them while following a flying bird? Is Cheney deaf and blind?

You know, there was a time when men got senile they usually took their toys away from them before they hurt someone. Unfortunately this time someone got hurt before the toy was taken away. Lucky for Mr. Whittington our tax dollars were at work with the ambulance on duty in case "Dick" had another attack and they could respond quickly, getting him to the hospital. Yes, taxpayer, we pay for "Dick" to have 24 hour ambulances and nurses, yet the president and "Dick" and the republican congress feel no adequate health care is necessary for the rest of our citizens.
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
I only wish they read this everyday. I guess the day has come when only criminals will own guns.

He just shot a lawyer ... might it become a fad?

How did Cheney manage to hit the guy on the RIGHT side??? He would have had to turn to the left, and fired right into the fellow's face. Strange that quail would have been flying at that level?????

Whew! How can such an accident be forgiven?! What if he had been driving an automobile and somehow dropped it off a bridge? Couldn't someone have died? Perhaps the V.P. is a better swimmer than some in politics. He sure has had to keep his head "above water" while many take snipes at him but leave the past way in the past. Teddy got away with his "accident" and remains a champion of the lost left. Funny how the fairness is expected but seldom offered these days. I don't like where America is or headed but ignoring all that has happened before Bush makes no sense and is just plain wrong. Dems/ Repubs, it all sux, all are tainted and "we" let it happen 'cause we are destracted, self involved and too damned comfortable in this land-o-plenty. my $0.02
G'day

Hi all,
I bet if Tricky Dicky didn't get all those deferrments from the military, from which he is making billions on the war, he would of learned gun safety.
I just wonder if the lawyer shot Tricky Dicky would he be considered a terrorist and sent off to Gitmo without counsel, left to rot, all because of national security.
Know I know where the Dick man hides when he is in a unknown secure location...hunting quail...wasn't he out hunting the day that Katrina wiped the Gulf Coast off the map.
Our country is in shambles but the Dick man has time to hunt....life is good for the billionares!

Hmmmm. According to an Austin newspaper:

"It's been a tumultuous week for the Texas Funeral Service Commission. On Monday, Travis County District Court Judge John Dietz ruled that Gov. George W. Bush won't have to testify in Eliza May's whistle-blower lawsuit against the agency. On Tuesday, the old TFSC board was dismissed. On Wednesday, the new board, headed by Austin lawyer Harry Whittington, took over the struggling agency."

http://www.austinchronicle.com/issues/dispatch/1999-09-03/pols_feature3.html

So Whittington is the guy who replaced the commissioner who presided over investigating a long-time bush friend and owner of SCI - the funeral service corporation involved in that nasty texas-sized scandal over the whistle-blower who got fired (that link above does a better job of explaining this than I do).

Anyway, to get to actually go hunting with the VP (involves having a GUN in the presense of the VP!!!) implies that this guy must be pretty well connected with the Bush-Cheney crowd. Now he is in charge of the regulatory body that oversees the funeral industry in TX (which is largely owned by Bush's Texas friends. Sort of makes you wonder about the whole situation, doesn't it???? Perhaps the other person hunting with them was, in fact, the owner of SCI corporation..... Look further than the bird shot here folks.....

So Dick took another "sound shot". He hit a lawyer and didn't kill him; now that's a mistake! The sound Dick will hear is from the openning of a blue summons to show cause.

The ranch owner reckons it's no big deal - bird hunters get shot sometimes. I wonder what she would say if the situation were reversed?

How many innocent birds did they kill? Were the birds in the "wrong place", too?

Look at the bright side - most of the hunters present DIDN'T get shot.

Apparently the secret service agents reacted promptly - I hope that means they took the gun away from Cheney, before he hurt himself.

It took 18 hours for this "incident" to be reported to the press. With the professional spin doctors employed by the Bush crime family the man who was shot will be totally at fault and Uncle Dick will still get his Jr. G-Man Badge. Too bad it wasn't Scalia getting the blast but a GOP phat cat lawyer will have to do.

In Virginia, a Republican Delegate to the State House of Delegates just "accidentally" shot off his conceled weapon in the General Assembly Building, "luckily" hitting a flak jacket hanging on the wall. Despite his apologies that it was an "accident" while removing the clip from his gun, my guess is that it was intentional -- considering that the odds are something like 150 X 6 / 1 (square feet per wall/floor surface times number of surfaces, divided by rough estimate of exposed size of flak-jacket when hanging on a wall). With odds like 1 out of 900, my guess is that the Delegate was playing around or sending a message.

Could Republicans have decided to implicitly threaten their opponents by showing them how easily they can shoot them dead?

Lana,
I read your link and when I got to the part where the judge ruled that Bush did not have "unique and superior knowledge" I started laughing and damned near fell out of my chair.

Warn me next time there's a line like that. I could have hurt myself.

It was an "interesting" article though.

Hopefully, next time the shot will backfire
and our country will have one less Liar and
War Monger trying to destroy our country.

These people are the elite of our society?

People who remark that its not unusual to have bird-shot unloaded into your flesh by a hunting buddy?

"This is something that happens from time to time. You now, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong."

God help us all...

Maybe Dick should be sent to Iraq, Shooting at birds while our servicemen are losing their lives fighting an illegal war is an insult to Americans.

If they sent Dick to Iraq, I'm not sure they would let him touch a Gun!, Maybe if it was Unloaded, with a Trigger Lock, and the Breach Removed?

why wasn't the accident reported for 24 hours? and why not by cheney? maybe he was too drunk to talk straight? and waited 24 hours so he'd pass any breathalizer test he was given?

It had to have been an accident. Everyone knows that Darth Cheney would never, ever shoot at something that could shoot back.

Coulda shot out an eye. Oops!

I hear that Cheney's office says they didn't announce the shooting because they thought a local yahoo should announce it to the public. What horse manure. They always want to spin everything through the White House press office, so why not this time?

Nice shot Deadeye Dick!
Was it a Vietnam flashback? Oh, oh no, it couldn't be that, you never served! Guess you were just blinded by blood lust. From my viewpoint as an avid hunter and conservationist, your performance was totally inexcusable, as is your repeated participation in those canned slaughters of dozens of birds. And, don't try to blame your victim. Put away the guns Dick and bring the boys home now.

I'll betcha if he was hunting with Ted Kennedy he woulda made the shot count.

Im pretty sure when i took hunters safety one of the main rules they had was "be sure of you target and beyond". So even though the lawyer didnt so where he was it's still 100 percent Chaney's fault.

It's Dick Cheney. I just assumed he had always been shooting people.

Here's what I want to know. Were they really hunting quail, or was the day or non-disclosure spent making it look like a quail hunting session and not, let's say, an endangered species.
Those private hunting retreats always seem to offer exotic (illegal) game alternatives if the price is right.
I have no proof. I'm just wondering.

It was an accident. Glad the guy wasn't seriously injured. If it hadn't invovled the VP, then this wouldn't even be a story.

It has to be somewhat comforting to ex- servicemen in that era of Cheney's military defferments.

WELL DICK NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO BRING TED KENNEDY HUNTING WITH YOU,I WOULD SAY BILL BUT THAT WOULD TAKE AWAY THE BIGGEST JOKE THAT THE DUMBOCRATS HAVE EVER SHOVED DOWN OUR THROATS.

Wow, that does suck. I am one cynical person, but I feel you guys do have it in for Cheney. Personally, I have no respect for the man, but reading your comments I am sad to see that it is no longer the case for someone to judge somethng unbiasedly. In anylzing this incident, I see that all of you jump immeditaly to who the man is. Never once is it considered an accident, accept with a sarcastic tone or an air of insult. You do not agree with the man administration, or his 'governing' style, or his policys or his alliance with George W. Bush. Therefore, you must take every incident like this. If you do not respect the man for his principles, or lack thereof, fine. But judge him honestly. Do not become impassioned and therefore biased. It was an accident. He probably should not go hunting in future, or take a safety corse. I see no reason to belive that he is not competent, only that does not take the proper saftey procedures. However, one might be right to judge him as a man, and therefore a vp, by this.

Ilove your story, and agree.

I guess now we have another reason why the Wellstone family didn't want Cheney at Senator Wellstone's funeral.

Wow bill, do learn to control yourself and respect your country.

Jeez. He can't handle a gun---either.
Hmmm. Misleading the American public.
Genocide for oil.
Shoot first, ask question later.
The great white way.
Our brothers and sons and fathers killed for what?
Profit margins and earnings per share.
Katrina victims continue to perish.
This war bankrupted the country.
Destroyed our moral compass once and for all.
Lord help us all.

Many people wear ear protection when shooting. Shouting your new location when behind or even in front of people is considered normal. Possibly the lawyer didn't announce his location (unfortunately, a common problem). If the guy is 6 feet tall and the bird took off at a low angle to the left, it's very possible to be shot on right side if you are to the left of the person, facing him (possibly because he shouted) and the shooter is quickly tracking the bird.

For those of you happy that someone got hurt, shame on you. If you're hypocritcally one of the supposedly more caring "left", double-shame on you. Those of you with lawyer jokes ... ;-)

And those of you that believe that any war can be legal or illegal ... Please. War is war. There are no contracts in war. The entire premise that there are rules of war is ridiculous and dates back to red-coats and fighting in formation as the standard "rules" of that time presribed. Those pesky Americans broke the rules of war to fight the British. Your jus ad bellum is the other guys joke. The more rules you have, the more you actually promote war by reducing the consequences.

Where were all these cynical critics when Teddy was driving off the bridge and an innocent young woman died a slow and terrible death? He has yet to acknowledge his guilt or apologize.

Where were all these cynical critics when President Clinton was abusing his office and assulting young female interns? And then lying to the country about it?

It seems the shoe is on the other foot this time and it somehow gives permission to forget and go into attack mode.

It is shameful that American discourse has fallen to this.

Doesn't this incident make you question the judgement of a man who is one heartbeat away from holding the security and welfare of everyone in this country? Would you want this person to ever be in a position of holding the potential to push "the button"? Would you want someone this rash, careless, and elitist to be responsible for co-leading this country during armed conflict? Well, he is. As Frank Zappa once noted, "Do you love it? Do you hate it? There it is, the way you made it."

If ever there has been a display of how the American voting public can be led and convinced by empty statements of "patriotic/freedom" rhetoric (what the hell is patriotic about the Patriot Act?), the last 5+ years have proven it. For those people for whom history still has some significance, compare the last five years with German history circa 1936 to 1939. That was another period of time where liberals were condemned, nationalism/economics were justifications for invading another sovereign country, and the government was granted powers to disrupt and suspend human rights to privacy and well being.

I just love the Ted Kennedy reference thrown in to all this cheney gun slinging misuse BS, as time will tell who is the bigger DRUNKEN ass, or in this case just how inept and senile dickhead cheney really is as to being deaf, just plain dumb, and blind! I love the joke going around on the Internet also! The end of the article pun is at the bottom of this post! Just add it to the bottom body text of the original article and send it to all your friends like I did! Maybe we (not me though) should all just vote dickhead the next president of the NRA, as GOD forbid the dumbass voters of America would vote him to succeed the doofus we now have as acting president! What I can't believe to this day is that America has not pushed for IMPEACHMENT of bush and this WAR MONGER dickhead cheney! What the hell is wrong with this country and what will it finally take to get rid of these 2 idiots? When cheney stood up there and said WE MIGHT BE HIT AGAIN IF WE ELECT THE WRONG MAN, referring to KERRY, where were American voter's heads? UP THEIR ASS no doubt! I've said it/this all along: RICHARD NIXON was a saint compared to what these 2 idiots have done to ruin our nation, ruin our nation's reputation as a world leader, and ruin our economy! And NIXON got impeached and thrown out of office for doing what? AMEN!

Article title: Cheney Accidentally Shoots and Injures Fellow Hunter in Texas

Bush was later overheard to say, “Shit man, I’m glad he wasn’t on my f**k*** ranch! Maybe we ought to send him over to IRAQ for some more target practice!”

IMPEACH bush & cheney NOW BEFORE THEY START SHOOTING ALL US USA CITIZENS AS WELL!!

I'm from the left AND I am a hunter. And this is just a "no excuse" accidental shooting. When hunting birds, and especially when in a group, you should mentally have a picture of your "safe shooting zone" in your mind at all times. Typically this will be no MORE than 160 degrees in front of you (your field of vision not using peripheral vision). It may well be less if others are too close. The way the story reads, Cheney had to turn around to make that shot and that is DEFINITELY outside a normal "safe shooting zone"...and anyone who went to hunter safety classes learns that the responsiblity for an errant shot lies with the person who has his/her finger on the trigger. Period.

I'm sorry but the VP sounds like the kind of guy who grazes the dogs when bird hunting...had he been hunting with my family members, the VP would have had a perforated colon from having his beautiful Italian 28 ga shotgun poked up his rear. If the victim came up from behind, that gun would very likely have also been swung across other members of the hunting party, also. That's the kind of "hunter" you only go out with once and make up every excuse in the book not to take again.

1. Doesn't Texas requires anyone who shoots another to report it to local law enforcement as required in other states? Was that done? 2. Has law enforcement begun an investigation as is required in other states when someone has been shot?

it disgusts me that all of you would make comments about our vice president like "did he drink his blood..." first, look at the article, it says the brilliant man chose to walk up behind a two other men who were hunting and not announce himself? this signals that there is no reason to fault the vice-pres, but the man who is not smart enough to realize that is a BAD idea. second, there is no foundation for an "he shot him on purpose" argument. First, no matter where he was aiming, if your close enough there�s always risk of shrapnel. second, what would be the purpose of shooting him anyway? it barley made him bleed, the man apologize profusely, if he wanted to hurt people, he could do it much easier in the basement of his house, there is no reason to just spontaneously shoot people. third, the fact that you would try linking this to any political happenings just proves what simpering children those of the libral faith are, degraded to claiming the vice-president is a vampire rather than making intelligent critiques of his policies. and, have you ever shot a gun? its not like its easy, at least he knows how to do that, rather than sitting at his computer and making obnoxious deluded comments about other much more important people on websites. Cheney may not rule the world, but he at least beats you.

Who is the other person in the party? And why was the name not disclosed? With the way the winds blows in this administration everybody is eating. Please find out who is that other person.

@TimWhite: I am sorry that you are blinded by racism. Well some of your points are valid, you unfortunatly are too concerned with being morally 'right' and personally offended by people who you deem to be racist because of their skin color (which in itself is racist)to judge without bias. Your opinion is not supported nor viably argued. For that reason, I refuse to respect it.

@TheLibertarian: Unfortunatly, war can be illegal in this country. If you are truly a libertarian, you would relize that any type of military conflict must require a declaration of war from congress. Any law that says otherwise is quite uncounstitutional.

@Steve: Thank you for pointing out how biast many 'liberals' are. I say 'liberals' becuase today, I feel that 'liberals' are hypersensitive busybodies who wish to protect everyone and thereby deny everyone their human rights, which, may I remind you, are what the liberal cuase used to be.

@CurtS: Yes it does make me question judgement. I would not vote for him at all. However, I dont feel the need to biasedly bash at every corner. Also, I too believe that the patriot act is a uncounstitutional act with is a spti in the face to what the USA stands for. However, I do not belive that we can be actively compared to the end of the shortlived Wiemer Republic.

@Frankjr.: You or someone else made that quote up. And, no, I do not bleive anyone would actually vote for Cheney. However, I think you just might of exaggerated a bit when you warn of a threat to American Citizens. Also, I must criticize your knowledge of the American Gov'n't if you are asking for impeachment. I recommend you spend a afternoon reading the counstitution.

@Hinnus_Assinus: Yes, he probably doesnt take safety precuations. He probably should not hold the office if vp if that is truly a problem.

@Becky: Way to take the moral high ground!

@Rich: I certainly hope so. If they have not, I will extremly pissed.

The lady was parked in her car and was an eye-witness to everything that was said and done?

You know we all made bad calls now and then, but you just have to keep this crap up. Come on you all cast the first stone ! but no you are all so perfect, you all make me sick and there will be a day when the people of the old US of A won't take this SHIT anymore and I hope I am still around to see it. And Ted is a dunken ASS !!!

Kudos to Libertarian Bastard's comments. However, the parallel I was trying to draw was not the short-lived German experiment in democracy, but to the methods and means of Nazi Germany. At that time there was intense and zealous "patriotism" which equated to condemnation of any political stance outside that of the nationalistic/conservative right wing, and a political/economic agenda that rationalized the invasions of Czechoslovakia(sp?) and Poland by suggesting that those "evil neighboring countries" were plotting the demise of Nazi Germany. Poland, particularly, was trumped up as preparing for war and thus Germany was vindicated by invading first (Iraq, anyone?).
Anyway, I know that my liveral bias shows and that I've stated things that are beyond the original scope of this Cheney article. But, the arrogance and self-rightiousness of this current administration is too frighteningly similar to that of the most horrific this world has ever experienced. We don't learn from history, as recent as it was.

Do they test people after an accidental? shooting for drugs/and/or alcohol? I would imagine it would be reasonable to doso, as you would after an auto accident, but of course, this wasn't reported for 24 hours. Hmmmmmm.......

quick little thing to bill, while you are not making obnoxious liberal comments, you are making obnoxious conservative comments. that�s basically the same thing. The problem with these people is that they choose to insult rather than be intelligent, you are currently doing the same thing. think about what you say before you say it.

Oh, and I am disgusted that you, CurtS, would liken your own country to Nazi Germany. similarities like the one you just pulled out of your ass is just that--bull shit. if you believe in your country so little that you believe that is shares motives with nazi Germany, then maybe you should find a country that better fits your own political beliefs. my only fear is that there will be people on this site who will believe what it is you are saying.

@Becky - is it accurate and honest to blame the victim for getting in the way of the bullet? Maybe you shouldn't idolize someone (Cheney) simply because he holds a political office and can fiegn being an outdoorsman?

O so funny, CurtS. i think someone who also seemingly CLAIMS to be an outdoorsmen and did not announce what he was doing around two men who had guns and were planning on shooting them. If i idolized Cheney, i would be getting a sex change and becoming old a lot faster. i'm not that upsessed. and i do not leave Cheney blameless, he doubtless did something he was not supposed to do, i know little or nothing about hunting, but I do not think he was aiming at him. It could have been the other man with them just as easily as Cheney, according to the article neither of them knew he was their. I also don't believe being a victim and having a few scratches to show off excuses you from responsibility for your own actions.

Again, Becky, I must compliment you for taking the high ground. HOwever, I believe you misread CurtS's intentions. I think that he intended to say that, while our country does not share motives with Nazi Germany, nor are we as evil as them, we are suffering from a nominal (and sometimes not-so-nominal) lack of liberties under justifications comparable to some of those of Nazi Germanys and many other baby dictorships. I do no think a dictatorship is imminent, but the US has started the long, often century-long, slide in that direction. And I can compare my country to whatever country I wish. In fact, I respect CurtS more than you, as he is not afraid to point out faults, while you seem to swear by the establishment.

@Becky - Regretfully, you're proving my point about right wing extremism and arrogant conservativism. I hope that someday you awaken and realize how far this nation is from it's designers' intentions. For now, I'll just shut off and let you rant.

I take back that last clause, it seems to be slightly disproven by your last post.

i agree, but i don't. I do think pointing out said problems is something necessary, obviously it would be the only way to fix them. I agree as well, in some ways, though I would not support is Iraq example, nor his use of Germany. I also believe in, while pointing out said problems, attempting to maintain some respect for your country. I believe out Government was right in Iraq, though maybe not on specific issues, but I do believe there are more domestic problems that continue to reoccur that out current government is not dealing with (social security, welfare, boarders).

A guy with five draft deferments should probably leave the shooting to someone else. Wait, up to now he has!

Much adew over nothing

@Becky - Libertarian Bastard has hit the nail squarely on the head, and I appreciate his filling in the gaps. I also love and respect America, Becky, as you do, but I don't tie that love and respect to political ideologies or party hacks. That's where we've got to be cautious. Subscription to extremism or cults of personality can contribute to building a bridge to tyranny. Inflexible perspectives and an arrogant presumption of moral exclusivity - I'm sorry, too often associated with conservative extremism - can quickly lead to Naziism, Communism, or Fascism. This country deserves better, and is here now here for us because our ancestors were cautious about damaging our platforms of freedom and human rights. I don't see that happening in the current administration - in fact, what's happening should be scaring us out of our apathy.

Dick Cheney. Gun Owner. Hunter. NRA Member.

Illegal hunter. What an asshole.

http://50milesout.blogspot.com

According to the hospital, Harry Whittington was barely scratched by Cheney's broadside. He was place in ICU because of mutiple dog bites when the bird dogs tried to drag him back to Cheney.
Down boy!

Yeah, on top of it he was hunting illegaly. I wonder how many times a year he hunts illegaly? Maybe they should really consider actually taking action on someone who shoots someone in the face while hunting, on top of the fact he was doing it ILLEGALY. You know, I can understand getting just a 'warning' if you.. havn't shot the gun yet, and the warden comes around, and checks.. But Having shot the gun, at a bird, killed a few birds, and then shooting a 78 year old man on top of it? Maybe they should give him a little fine, or maybe some jail time? *Shrugs* Like someone said above, had the situation been the other way around, the 78 year old man would have been shot to the ground by secret service.

And is Cheney in such bad heatlth he has to have a medical team WITH HIM at all times, and a medical team on *call* too? Maybe its time for retirement, before he accidently shoots Rumsfeld, or maybe even someone on the Senate floor when he gets pissed off. He could always say "Oh, sorry I didn't see you".

Cheney's excuse: At that distance how was I supposed to tell he wasn't Quayle??

And VP Dan Quayle was washed up after he misspelled potatoe!!

If I understand what the WH and the media are saying, Whittington was merely "collateral damage", so he really ought to be OK with getting shot a little now and then. If he has a problem with that, he's probably one of those "liberal terrorist supporters" that Cheney, Rove, and GWB are always warning us about, and therefore ought to be hauled off to Gitmo and "waterboarded", or at least have his phone tapped.

For the sake of argument, let's assume that George and Dick are infallible, God himself has granted them absolute power of life and death over everyone on the planet, and absolutely all of their actions are divinely inspired. I gather these are core conservative tenets these days, so the rest of us certainly have no constitutional right to argue, or at least we'd be smart not to. Therefore Cheney has the right to shoot anyone he pleases, since really he's just the instrument of divine wrath. When God's angry, which is pretty much always, apparently, sometimes he sends a hurricane, and other times it's Cheney with a shotgun.

Or maybe none of that's true, and Cheney's just another creepy sociopath with a gun.

http://cyclotram.blogspot.com/2006/02/cheney-as-raskolnikov-friends.html

On the bright side, Rumsfeld claims that he�s finally found a way to make the technologically challenged star wars missile defense system operational�
He�s going to hand Cheney a loaded shotgun and tell him that the nuclear warheads are incoming lawyers.

Of course, the biggest impact of the shooting has been on White House staff who now yell at the top of their lungs and wave their arms madly every time they approach Cheney from behind: Over here, sir!! On your right, Mr. Vice President!!!

Now we know why Cheney worked so hard to dodge the draft during the VietNam conflict. He was just being patriotic!! He didn't want to end up shooting a GI.

This Becky needs to pull her face out of ANN COULTER'S ass because if you were any more intelligent you'd be a laughing stock just like this GOP BIMBO COULTER! I wish someone would shoot her (COULTER) dumb ass!! She is such an ignorant bitch anyway! She and cheney would make the perfect pair. The perfect OLIGARCHY only second to bush and cheney right now!

All this BECKY does is go on and on about reading her stupid little article about cheney's screwup, doesn't know a god damn thing about hunting, and then tries to belittle everyone else that has a good viewpoint about his dumb ass!! Typical ANN COULTER GOP BIMBO! Get a life!

I've posted on some of these sites b4 where there's always a husband/wife tag team sitting side by side on their little cmptrs yanking everyone's chain. I have a word for those kind of couples also, but I'll keep it to myself!

What I said at the end of my other post about IMPEACHING HECKLE & JECKLE was only wishful thinking! It was meant to be a JOKE, just like what bush/cheney are to the whole world that looks down on our sorry ass country and the way it is being led to hell by a couple of total idiots!

When you can buy your way into a CORRUPT PUPPET government election such as bush did TWICE is it any wonder why a careless shooting like this can be covered up for 24 hours also?! Makes TEDDIE look like a SAINT also!! And then these god damn GOPS want to IMPEACH good old CLINTON for getting a blowjob in the OVAL OFFICE! Yah right! Just remember who left the SURPLUS bitch!

Ole HILLARY hit the nail right on the head when she said this was the WORST administration this country has ever had. Historians say the same, so she's not just running her mouth!

See if you can guess who made/coined this quote, without a lame GOOGLE SEARCH btw, as 1 in every 1000 people don't even have a clue! And if you tell me you know, then you're just as much a liar as bush was when he lied our country and sorry asses into IRAQNAM! Remember these words!

QUOTE: "To announce that there should be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, it is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American people."

@libertarian:
Racist? Do a google on the word.
We stood by and watched the ransacking of the Iraqi Museum down to the walls. Allowed it to happen. wanted it to happen. Seemingly lost forever: Hammurabi' s Code of law and 10,000 other priceless artifacts which are of global historical and cultural signifigance(do another google, please, to appreciate the irony of having lost that particular tablet) We are practised in erasing cultural identity. However, ironically, we have set the foundation for a religious war we can only lose. Hitler, in a way, created Israel. Cheney, in time, will have created an underground network much more formidable. My comments are not about being "morally right" as you ascertain. I suppose I am against the bankrupting of my country for a war that is clearly about the largest petroleum profits in history. Actually, now that I think about it, I am against bombing and murdering civilians and the cycles of terror we instigate.
If you can't make it to Iraq, head down to New Orleans and you'll see where our values are, and where they, clearly, are not.

Good thing Dick wasn't hunting in da Bush.

I hope they don't let Dick go hunting with George.

@Becky: Don't get upset that people point out that the Administration says a lot of the same things that the German government did leading up to the 1939 invasion of Poland.

Rampant nationalism/patriotism is always dangerous. Germany is a glaring example of what can happen when the people allow their leaders to run amok. History records what happened to remind the world to be careful to not let it happen again.

Your comments make me think that you have no issue with the President undermining the Constitution to 'protect' America. He is in violation of his oath, and should either correct his mistakes, or resign. But that would demand character on his part, and I don't think he has any.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

NEWS FLASH:

The 78-year-old lawyer who was accidentally shot by Vice President Dick Cheney on Saturday suffered a mild heart attack today after bird shot migrated to his heart, doctors in South Texas said, and he underwent a successful catheterization to determine ...

NEWS UPDATE AT 10

We could only hope dickhead goes hunting with bushwa next time, as then we'd get TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!!! hahahaha.........

I guess everyone is still trying to find that quote online?? Funny....proves my point!

I believe the author of that quote was Benjamin Franklin. Truth is always Truth, no matter how many years go by, regardless of who said it.
