What's the Big deal about Cheney Shooting?

[louis c]

It's not like he got a blow job or something like that.

The same hypocritical assholes like Simpson and O'Reily who dismiss this negligent act that could amount to man-slaughter, were the first to condemn a sitting President for an affair with a consenting adult.

"Who, other than the man who was shot, is affected by this incident?" O'Reily asked rhetorically tonight. "No one", he answered himself.

Hey asshole, who the fuck was affected by Monica and Bill?

By the way, if you ask the average American if he or she would rather participate in (A) a consensual act of oral sex or (B) getting fucking shot in the face by an asshole with a gun, I'll bet that most will pick answer (A).

[Redstone]

1. Well said.

Redstone

[Catherine Vincent]

2. The Bush administration and their dittoheaded apologists

have proved their hypocrisy a long time ago. Just add this one to the list.

[Mark5]

3. Hmmm actually

if it involved Monica, I might choose B.

[louis c]

7. Come on, she's not that bad.

There's no such thing as a bad................ well, I bet you know the rest of the saying.

[karlrschneider]

38. Blowjobs are like pizzas

when they're good they're great...
and when they're bad they're still pretty good

:evilgrin:

[im10ashus]

15. Still lurking, huh?

[bettyellen]

23. is that who i think that is?

*jawdrop*

[im10ashus]

25. Tis I!

How do I love thee!

[bettyellen]

26. awwww. i miss you sweetie.

will you be around saturday night?

[im10ashus]

32. We are going to be somewhere out and about.

Will you be in Manhattan? Do you still have my number? :hug:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

35. Not lurking if it posts on every Cheney shooting thread.

[central scrutinizer]

4. Let's see: teenagers were given the message that oral sex was OK

by Clinton and Monica. By the same logic, they must be getting the message that shooting someone in the face with a shotgun is OK.

[leftchick]

31. It is a shame that the bushbots can not recognize the hypocrisy

You made the perfect comparison and they will never get it.

[Beetwasher]

5. Heh! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!

Did O'Reilly REALLY fucking say that???? Holy shit, he really is batshit fucking crazy.

[stop the bleeding]

6. good rant n/t

[UTUSN]

8. K&R for Bullseye o.p. ----oh, uh... n.t

[sandnsea]

9. He said that???

Oh my god. This just gets more unbelievable by the second. You shoot somebody and it's nobody's business??? No culture of life, no respect for the law, no personal responsibility. These people really do think they can literally do whatever the fuck they please and be held accountable to absolutely no one.

[Atman]

10. Monica took a shot in the face...never heard her bitch about it!

Where do these republicans get off?

Oh...they don't. Maybe if they did get off every now and then, they'd be less tense.

[Timbuk3]

12. LOL

That one cracked me up, too!

How ya doin', at-dude?!

[Atman]

18. Hey, good to see you!

I could use a few friendly faces around here...I've been getting beat up all day because I won't sign my loyalty oath and declare Cheney to have been obviously drunk when he shot his friend. Silly me...I wanted some sort of proof, not just wild speculation. But today is Wild Speculation Tuesday, I guess, and I must not have gotten the memo.

Here's the accident report.

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0213061cheney1.html

It's entirely believable to me that this was an accident. I'd rather focus on Cheney's treasonous ordering of the outing of a NOC who worked to protect us from WMD.

But, from now on Cheney has forfeited the right to call himself "a hunter". You only get to shoot your hunting partner's once before you forfeit that right.

To borrow a rather colorful term from the Rude Pundit, Cheney is no longer a "hunter", he has become a "goat fucker". (ie. You build bridges all your life and does anyone call you "Bob the bridge builder"? No. You work in the garden all your life and do people call you "Joe the Gardener"? No. But you fuck *ONE* goat...)

[Timbuk3]

11. Thank you!

I'm out of valentines, so you'll have to settle for the 5th recommend.

That cracked me up!

Hypocrisy, thy name is GOP.

[louis c]

20. Thanks

Just like the Amendments to the bill of rights, the first, fourth and fifth are the most important recommendations for the greatest.

24. Dick Cheney's Song of America

by David Armstrong

Few writers are more ambitious than the writers of government policy papers, and few policy papers are more ambitious than Dick Cheney's masterwork. It has taken several forms over the last decade and is in fact the product of several ghostwriters (notably Paul Wolfowitz and Colin Powell), but Cheney has been consistent in his dedication to the ideas in the documents that bear his name, and he has maintained a close association with the ideologues behind them. Let us, therefore, call Cheney the author, and this series of documents the Plan.
The Plan was published in unclassified form most recently under the title of Defense Strategy for the 1990s, as Cheney ended his term as secretary of defense under the elder George Bush in early 1993, but it is, like "Leaves of Grass," a perpetually evolving work. It was the controversial Defense Planning Guidance draft of 1992 ­ from which Cheney, unconvincingly, tried to distance himself ­ and it was the somewhat less aggressive revised draft of that same year. This June it was a presidential lecture in the form of a commencement address at West Point, and in July it was leaked to the press as yet another Defense Planning Guidance (this time under the pen name of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld). It will take its ultimate form, though, as America's new national security strategy ­ and Cheney et al. will experience what few writers have even dared dream: their words will become our reality.
The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination. It calls for the United States to maintain its overwhelming military superiority and prevent new rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike. It says not that the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but that it must be absolutely powerful.
The Plan is disturbing in many ways, and ultimately unworkable. Yet it is being sold now as an answer to the "new realities" of the post-September 11 world, even as it was sold previously as the answer to the new realities of the post-Cold War world. For Cheney, the Plan has always been the right answer, no matter how different the questions.

I dunno, it just seemed like an appropriate time to remind everyone that this is the asshole who thinks it's his constitutional obligation to rule the world...

[threadkillaz]

13. Bill included the shooting in his Most Ridiculous segment...

on his show yesterday. Spin spin spin.

[Strelnikov_]

14. It Is A Hugh Deal. Big Time. A Cheney Screw-Up That Has Not . .

yet . . resulted in loss of life.

Considering his track record, this incidents lack of body count is major news.

[unblock]

16. yeah, as if whittington's family couldn't care less!

remember when the banana republicans were all about that fake sympathy for hillary during the monica crap?

where's their sympathy for whittington's family now?

[bluecrush]

17. They should hire Halliburton

to set up triage units at the Armstrong ranch.

[northofdenali]

41. Don't think they haven't thought of it, bluecrush.........

:rofl:

[MissWaverly]

19. I saw a target that would show the damage from the shot

the WhiteHouse is acting like this is a joke, this is an horrendous injury, now we are hearing that the shell contained some pellets that were 5 mm. That is the diameter of
your pupil; that is why this man has in his heart. First they suppressed, they didn't
even tell Bush, Cheney was the shooter at first. There is no open communication, stuff
gets delayed way past when it should, then Karl Rove briefs the ranch owner on what to
release to the press. There just is no accountability with them, they do not realize
that they are public servants and represent us to the world.

[NightOwwl]

28. I saw the same picture....

and it is a terrible, terrible injury.

There is no way anyone, no less a 78 year old man, could live a normal life after sustaining that type of injury.

[Timbuk3]

21. Do you remember the pics of Cheney at Auschwitz?

A somber Dick Cheney, dressed to the nines for the Auschwitz memorial ceremony:

http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/2005/01/hell-frozen-over.html

Justice Antonin Scalia would seem to be just out of the frame, leaning on the limo's horn, calling "C'mon Dick, those ducks won't shoot themselves!"

(Cheney "sort of stands out in the crowd", being the only asshole there dressed for a duck hunt.)

[Serenades]

27. Hypocrisy at it's best

Billy O'Reilly is a genital head.

There will be a "toasty" spot in hell for all of these degenerate sexual harassment offenders.

[stickdog]

29. Who except for his victims was affected by Jeffrey Dahmer?

[louis c]

30. kick in the morning

[bmbmd]

33. It's not the crime

it's the cover-up. Seems like I've heard that somewhere before.

[louis c]

34. kick in the evening

[noamnety]

36. Maybe O'Reilly was quoted out of context

My guess is the full quote was: "Who, other than the man who was shot, is affected by this incident? No one, especially not Cheney."

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. GOP=Party of Hypocrites and Projection masters! LOL

'nuff said and O'Liely proves this.

[uppityperson]

39. I started a poll. Of course it is just librul DUers, but still
