Well, well, well. So Dick Cheney has taken to shooting people on hunting trips? What's wrong, puppet master, was Alex Hidell too busy over the weekend? (Goggle it if you don't know)

I find it comforting that the most dangerous man in Washington - who'd just as soon kill you, than have you disagree with him - could be brought down by starting a microwave oven. And to think, I'd never had that much use for major appliances. Say, George, since Cheney likes shooting people so much and forcing them to change their ideology, how about we send him to Iraq and bring our boys home? I see this as your way out of the whole "weapons of mass distraction" fiasco. You end the war and Cheney gets to oversee all of his financial investments. As they say in the ad game, George, it's a win win situation.

Side note, while I'm pissing everyone else off, might as well alienate myself from South Texas. What happened to the days when County Sheriffs had balls? The deputy sent out to interview Cheney (SOP when investigating any shooting) was turned away by the Secret Service, who refused to let the deputy see him. The old days the Sheriff's office would have arrested them all for obstruction of justice - if it had been a real news story. . .

. . . but the entire incident is not news - it's an accident, orchestrated by the Puppetmaster (held back and leaked to the press, just like a West Wing episode) to become a "news" story and again take attention away from real news, like Scooter Libby's leak testimony.
