Why are people stil talking about Dick Cheney shooting someone?

Would Britney Spears dangle her child off a bridge or something already? I am so sick of hearing about this!

What if cheney shot the baby out of britneys arms for a trick?

I don't care what happens as long as we can change the subject.

Steve Harvey said it's because they are still searching the ranch for a black guy to pin it on.

how about bush choking and almost dying on a pretzal?

How about Bush Sr. puking on a dignitary?

How about Quayles creative spelling class?

How about defining the word "is"

how about president reagans memory?

How about carters lusting and ufos?

How about ford falling down?

How about nixon tapes?

How about LBJs entire run?

How about marylins happy birthday?

...when I returned, Mary Jo and the car were gone.

lmao

I am not sure Neehai, perhaps it's just the nature of politics.

He's an asshole, on that I'll agree, BUT, this sort of acccident (which is the key word here), happens a LOT more often than people think, in bird hunting.

I hunted all my life, up until about ten years ago, and believe me, I have seen it happen, and even been pelted with buckshot myself.

What if everytime a politician had a car accident, and injured another person we had hear a million jokes and revenge driven jabs and smears about that person, who was simply guilty of human error?

Someone will say Chapaquiddick, I am sure, but remember, the dumbass fled the scene, didn't call the cops for 12 hours, was probably drunk, and a person died.

re: my previous post

Now that's funny!

Guess it just proves how desperate certain people are to make certain others look bad through any means available. Which is kind of weird, since it's probably not going to effect the next election or anything. Oh well I suppose everyone needs a hobby...

Actually, if anything, it would be a good move to have Cheney resign over something like this.

1. He is already mired in controversy from Plame to domestic spying.
2. He won't run for President.
3. There is not a Republican polling high for 2008 at the moment.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cheney stepped down so they could try out a candidate in the VP slot running up to 2008. It would be smart.

he was out drinking and shooting with his mistress

the kicker of this story is we don't have to "make" certain others look bad

and I quote Dick Cheney:

"Go Fuck Yourself"

I half wish he would resign just so all the whining, like this story, would stop. I don't really care, and I don't think that it would effect the government very much. Maybe he'll resign in awhile after stuff cools down so he can use "medical reasons" or something as an excuse.

See Mulch, the problem isn't that the story "to make him look bad" came out. Of course it's newsworthy...for a few days. The problem is that it's drilled into everyone's life over and over. It's not very interesting anymore. So what reason, other than promoting a political agenda, is there not to let the story die? It's not important news anymore. Why--(after a week?)--am I still seeing this story on the front page of cnn.com?

ahem

And this time this dumb ass stayed on the ranch, had the first cop turned away at the gate and then waited 15 hours before he allowed them in, and was probably drunk. The lobbyist who hosted the hunt swore only Dr. Pepper was served at lunch and that no alcohol at all was served, but the dumb ass said he drank a single beer. In fact all the other guests who spoke to the press uniformly stated that no alcohol was consumed that afternoon. Maybe they should have gotten their stories straight with the dumb ass first? Then the dumb ass told the cops that he turned to his right and fired, but told the press that he swung to the left and fired. Drink can make your memory hazy. And a person was severely injured and hospitalized.

So other than the dumb asses in question were both fat, obnoxious, filthy rich politicians, there are some similarities to Chappaquiddick.

And again I ask, why are such stupid (and historically insignificant for the most part) things being mentioned...yet...again?

Because you keep asking why the Cheney story is news. It is news for the same reason as these things are; people find it entertianing to see powerful people look stupid.

Oh god. I guess that does answer the question...

It gives someone something to talk about!

OMG!!! Who'd he shoot??? Did he go off the deep-end in a power crazed maddness & shoot the president????



Ok, just kidding.

Hunting accidents happen all the time. This one was just too good to pass on cuz it's by someone famous & rich

Because the criminal bible thumping liar Dick Chaney should go to jail for shooting the person. People who are driving and accidently hit someone go to jail, why shouldn't he?

People do not, as a rule, go to jail for this, sorry Magnum. I feel your concern that he be given a fair trial, however.

Look, its obvious the old dude was in fact an islamic fundamentalist, and Cheney was just doing his duty as a god fearing patriotic American.

You do not go to jail for accidentally shooting someone while hunting. That is the most asinine thing I have heard today.

He would have faced a mandatory investigation had the man died and might have faced some misdemeanor charges. However, the man did not die.

There are many car accidents daily and most of the people involved do not go to jail. Your comment is not only stupid it is just plain wrong.

Oddly, I've never considered Cheney a bible thumper. Maybe that is because I am convinced he is a 700 year old vampire. Either way, religion is something I've never really associated with Cheney.
