2. So THIS is the earth-shattering news story that crowded out the Al Gore Arab Bl*wj*b.

3. It’s was only a 28 gauge scattergun, around these parts, that’s called a “girlie gun"…
   Only a tad more kick than a .410, which is just about perfectly suited for blowing flies off doggie , or knocking squirrels off bird feeders.

   Hey, it’s not all a bad thing, after all the shootee was a lawyer.... 

   That’s what he gets for contributing only 3 grand…

4. Don’t expect CNN to get anything right concerning firearms.  They’d have to learn something about them first.

5. shhhh (whisper) Still, if true, it was a dumbass careless shot by Cheney. You don’t get Mulligans hunting.

6. Some reporter said this morning that the victim was shot multiple times. I nearly choked on my coffee. She was so serious and breathless in her reporting that you would think the VPOTUS is a homicidal maniac. Sheesh!!!! Oh wait, he’s a republican, pro-gun male of course he’s a maniac.

7. I heard someone on the idiot box say that this news makes David Letterman and Jay Lenno the two happiest people in the country.

8. Didja notice that it took until the 7th paragraph to mention it was the other guy’s fault?  Stoopid MSM.

9. MSM with an agenda, Badger.

10. I cannot get beyond the headline that someone was SHOT by the VP.  There is a whole world of difference between being “peppered” and shot! 

    Though, methinks the VP’s gun should have been pointed a little higher.  Can’t tell me he saw only blue sky behind his target… And the whole obvious, be SURE of your target before you pull the trigger.  I am totally progun and prohunting but I also take walks in the woods and would just as soon not come upon a party unnannounced and get peppered (or worse - depending on the season.)

11. (#6) “shot multiple times” Yes, that often happens with a shotgun....  Still, the man with the weapon is ultimately responsible for what he shoots, even if some moron is stumbling thru his field of fire like a blind dog in a meathouse.

12. Reminiscent of Elmer Fudd and “that wascally wabbit"…

    to the “Flight of the Valkyries”

    kill all the lawyers

    kill all the lawyers

    kill all the lawyers…

13. I just hope that one of the comedians out there tags the ‘shooting at a lawyer’ aspect of this - way too priceless.

    Comeon’ even the best of us have ‘one of those moments’ Can’t forget my dad - ‘it’s not loaded’ BLAM there’s a nice little hole into the upstairs bedroom. Or my brother just back from OCS - with the shot through the garage door - missed the target by a MILE.

    Probably some stoooopid reporter yelled “Vice President, over here” just as he pulled the trigger - ‘course it’s gonna be 6 months and page 27 before that little fact comes to the light of day.

    Yeah, CNN really over did the reporting - I was surprized that they didn’t cook up some stupid name for it.

    You know thirty years ago, everyone just sort of quietly snickered each and every time President Ford fell, tripped and otherwise was clumsy. Now because the msm hates the current administration - you’d think that the VP ran down this guy and tried to blow him away. Gee - where’s the libs sense of humor.

14. I just saw the White House press corps and they were in a feeding frenzy. I have to wonder if they have any idea what they look and sound like. One of them even asked if Cheney was going to resign. No agenda there, nope, not them.

15. What’s the bag limit on lawyers?  Aren’t they in season year ‘round?

    Did Cheney have a buck lawyer tag?  Was the lawyer free-ranging or was he nailed by a feeder station?

    At least Cheney didn’t gut him and field dress him after shooting him.

    Lawyers—ever try to clean one?

    Why didn’t Cheney’s Secret Service detail finish the lawyer off?

    Was Cheney, like LBJ, spot-lighting at night from a Lincoln convertable?

    Lawyers are not considered exotic game in Texas, they’re normally treated like the varmits they are.

    This is just too easy for Leno and Letterman, but the possibilities are nearly endless.

16. The White House press corpse, among others, are damned fools, first for having their silly little agenda, and second for being purblind and crass enough to make it obvious!

    A little subtlety can work wonders, children of the press!

17. Bunch of good ones, Maj Mike. Lovin’ it. Maybe you should moonlight as a comedy writer.

    Posted by StinKerr       02/13/2006  at  09:52 PM  



18. Click here OCM. Not as good as I hoped, though.

    Posted by StinKerr       02/14/2006  at  09:50 AM  



19. A pleasure, OCM. #5 was good, maybe he mistook the guy for John Edwards. I kinda liked #3, though - “Excuse? I hit him, didn’t I?”.

20. Thanks, StinKerr!

    I’m a high school World History teacher.  I do 90-minute stand-up routines 3 times a day, 5 days a week.

21. Yeah, gotta get and keep their attention somehow, Maj Mike.

    One of my better history teachers stopped in mid-lecture one day just to tell us that it was a very special moment for him: He had the complete attention of everyone in the class. Of course, it broke the spell somewhat.

    Actually he was pretty good and quite popular with the students. So they made him an administrator. Go figure.

22. A psychology professor had a habit of walking back and forth as he lectured.  As an experiment in operant conditioning, his class increased their attention to him as he was closer to the window, ignored him as he got further away.  By the end of the lecture they practically had him leaning out the window.

    ------------------------------------------------<< this line demarks “back on topic”

    My wife, the columnist, is planning to write a column on hunting accidents in general, NOT about U-know-hoo. She phoned an older woman who runs a hunting preserve; the lady hates the media & thinks the Cheney coverage is bull. Sorry Ruth didn’t get her email so’s we could invite her here.

23. OCM. I’m waiting for the flash shooting game which I just know must be in the works somewhere.
