Aaaah! Run for your lives!

Everybody run -
The Vice President's got a gun...

You know, if there ever was going to be a guy I'd give a loaded weapon to, it certainly wouldn't be a crotchety old coot whose been itching to blow away the Middle East for 6 years. I'm surprised that ol' Dickey "Oops"Cheney is even allowed to carry a shotgun, given his history of heart attacks and bad temper flareups.

Now, let's all speculate what could've possibly made Mr. Cheney think that his hunting partner was a quail. Was the guy chirping like one? Did he smell like poultry? Did he perhaps make a snide comment about finding no quails in the bushes, but tons of weapons of mass destruction? Did Dick tell the guy to go fuck himself right before he squeezed the trigger?

It's not nice to make fun of the poor bastard who caught a face full of the Vice President's buckshot, so we won't. The shooting victum is a lawyer, though, and if he's got any bit of that legal evil left in his body, he'll sue the hell out of Dickie, then beat him over the head with his Remington, just for good measure.

But Dick Cheney? The guy deserves all the flack he gets about this. Including the snarky comments from yours truly.

So somebody out there, please do the right thing. Take away the gun from Little Dickie, before he shoots someone's eye out. Give him a nice pea shooter or a box of rubber bands to play with, like his boss likes to play with.

And remember, boys and girls. Guns don't kill people. Politicians kill people.
