Hey Man, Nice Shot

I mean, when Aaron Burr was Thomas Jefferson's Vice President, he would shoot to kill. He didn't just WOUND Alexander Hamilton, he put him in the ground!

Our current officeholder can't even get that right.

Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets.

Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner.

He was in stable condition Sunday, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System in Corpus Christi.

A competent Vice President would've killed him, that's all I'm saying.

I'm pretty sure that I've told a joke onstage before about how the White House will try to spin anything. You know, there could be a picture of Bush sodomizing a goat and the official party line would be "That goat was acting seductively!" And know Cheney shoots a guy, and the White House covers it up for 18 hours, and then tries to insinuate that the victim was to blame because he didn't announce himself when he came up behind Cheney.

Satire is dead.
