9. She is.
How often would you go hunting somewhere when people get (according to Armstrong) "peppered" with buckshot all the time? Peppered. Great euphemism for shooting, isn't it? Sounds so minor, so benign, so like, I don't know, a paper cut?

13. And she is the freaking AMBASSADOR to SWITZERLAND, small detail no?
Where were the wives of these men, BTW?

Isn't it kinda odd that NO ONE has mentioned he was in a foursome with the (female) Ambassador to Switzerland???

It's getting weirder by the minute, in my book.....

3. You know the scandels are occurring at such a frequent rate.....
That the BFEE has to report it. The major news organizations are getting scooped by blogs and ordinary citizens now and they are loosing viewership!!

I am loving it. Economics always wins out....they can either keep up their propaganda machine and lose money or report factual news and win viewers back..


:popcorn: :rofl:

5. did you hear him say, "the VP office worked with her"
"I mean, the VP discussed it with her..."

So they COACHED that woman on what to say, and they tried to make it look like she was an impartial, independent witness.

29. I saw that.
What I thought was funny was they used the term "contentious press conference" to describe the briefing. It wasn't any more contentious than normal. But at least they (the MSM) are paying attention.

41. That is why they needed 22 HOURS--to ensure everyone MEMORIZED
the script. And they kept old Pepperpot the Lawyer in ICU, INCOMMUNICADO, until he got the spirit.

16. Ok.
If President Clinton was impeached over alledged perjury over sex, then when do the hearings begin over Cheney's failure to uphold the RULE OF LAW? I mean, isn't that a national crisis?

He hunted without a license and shot a man in the face. He must be impeached for violating the rule of law.

They briefed one member of congress by pager on that over the Easter break in 2003, according to a White House spokesman.

30. Was he a "resident" or "nonresident" licensee?
He better claim "nonresident" unless he wants the legality of their administration reviewed again.

23. Actually, I shot a guy in the face about eight months ago ...
... but the woman who owned the ranch where it happened has been travelling, so I'm waiting for her to come home and report it -- that's the law, right?

12. Who is assigned to cover VP Archie Bunkerman Cheney?
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 06:48 PM by Pithy Cherub
That is who should be just furious that the information was carefully screened, cleansed and dumped in such a fashion. It's leaked to a small town Texas reporter in hopes that it will be kept under wraps.

Now what were they hiding and what do they want kept hidden. The imagination is just not good enough for these bush clowns who have so far exceeding my :wow: factor, on edit in everything.

15. right?
if it were a cut-and-dried accident, they would have come forward right away, produced the doctor and the victim, produced Cheney, and announced that he was getting a new prescription for his eyeglasses. This is a COVER-UP. BIG TIME!

was ANY way they could keep the story from getting out AT ALL.

All in all that was a Saturday Night that will live in american infamy. They really did not want anybody to know, and if some did - as few as possible.

24. He was shot like Reagan was shot. A message to keep his mouth shut.
The Reagan assasination attempt still smells fishy to me, 25 years later.
