What a Dick...Am I rite, folks?

 

[livemusic]

Ouch.

I like how they worded the accident with "he got peppered pretty good", "sprayed him with shotgun pellets", or "it broke the skin". Sounds much better than "Dick blasted him with a 12 Gauge shotgun".

Hey, this is Cheney. Why are we surprised that he shot somebody? XD

Man, how hard can it be not to hit your own buddy? Dick must've been shooting all over the place.

 

[Gabkicks]

yeah.. i'm trying to figure out how the hell could dick shoot him . maybe they were having an arguement or something and dick meant to just fire a warning shot.

 

[Canadian Speed]

Because he usualy has someone else do it for him.

I was immediately reminded of that hunting scene from Wedding Crashers when I read this article.

At least he'll be OK, it could have been a lot worse.

 

[Zrow]

Man, all the late night talk shows are going to have a field day with this.

 

[Anderton Prime]

What can I do except sit back and chuckle, shaking my head?

 

[James2097]

Damn Dick, he should've stuck to shooting blanks.

Dubyah almost dies eating a pretzel, and Cheney shoots his friend. I nomintate this as the most clumsy administration ever.

You're forgetting falling off the Segway.

And all of the bicycling accidents.

 

[Fonce Diablo]

Maybe they should stop playing "Hail to the Chief" when Dubya comes out and start using the theme from "The Benny Hill Show"...

Hey, at least he's not as bad as former President Gerald Ford. That guy was always falling down. So much so, Chevy Chase made a career out of it.

 

[Danoff]

...here come the anti-gun nuts....

 

[livemusic]

Where?

 

[Danoff]

Where?

Sarah Brady - can't find the story, but she's seizing the opportunity. I'm sure others will follow.

I don't remember Ford getting hurt quite as bad, though. George gets his face pretty much ripped up badly every time he falls.

Oh, please. Ford fell down once.

You know what the most disturbing thing about all this is?

While the White House Press Corps whine and moan about Dick Cheney accidentally shooting a fellow hunter, Iran goes against the IAEA and restarts its Uranium enrichment, totally unnoticed.

 

[a6m5]

Oh, it's being noticed. I think the U.S. led strike is nearly guranteed. This could lead to something bigger than Iraq, so it's not anything you can hide.

On what planet are you living? It's everywhere, There's two threads about Iran in the first page of the current events section, even coming from your *cough* buddies at Agence France Presse (AFP).

Damn evil mainstream media, huh?



Edit: Apparently, Jon Stewart had a lot of fun with this on the Daily Show tonight.... And I missed it!

 

[Solid Lifters]

Oh no he didn't...

Found it!

Second half is hilarious: right-click, save as.

Thanks! 👍

What I really want to know is...

Was Dick Cheney promised a Free iPod* for shooting a fellow hunter?

* With participation​

 

[Kylehnat]

Apparently the guy he shot suffered a minor heart attack today because of it.

[Keef]

Well I didn't know he had a heart attack. Maybe because of all the medicine he got at the hospital or from stress or something? Anyway, before that fact I thought this whole incident was pretty funny. It happens all the time to "regular people", which means it isn't news-worthy unless someone dies. I think the movie Wedding Crashers has one of the best scenes where a guy gets shot "accidentally". It's funny, and, until this stupid heart attack, wasn't something the government should have held a press conference over.

 

[h0ss]

All the time?

There were only 30 accidents reported in Texas last year. Most hunters follow safety precautions.

Hardly all the time.

If a prominent member of the government SHOOTS SOMEONE IN THE FACE, you'd better believe it deserves primetime coverage.
