For the love of Pete can't you let this Cheney thing go..

[Dees]

What in the hell is the big deal. He's only the VP who shot somebody in the face under the influence of alcohol. So he didn't disclose right away. Big deal. You all are acting like he's trying to pull a quick one or something. Didn't you hear he takes full responsibility for what happened? So some of the facts and accounts don't add up. So what. Alright he didn't say he was sorry. Who cares. He (Cheney) is entitled to his privacy isn't he? You people are obsessed.

[physioex]

1. Nooo.....

Keep the heat on. I am sick and tired of the cover-ups enough is enough....

[flobee1]

2. Anything he does now is suspicious

(Cheney) is entitled to his privacy isn't he?
If we have no privacy, neither does he!

[Che_Nuevara]

3. I was waiting for the sarcasm tag,

but it never came.

[physioex]

6. I was wondering about that too....

So I am gonna take what he says seriously....

[laylah]

4. Well

all I can do is :rofl: Good post! Love the sarcasm.

5. Not only that

Have any of you liberal bed-wetters ever considered that perhaps the old bastard deserved it?

[rurallib]

7. Color me stupid - are you serious or sarcastic?

If Cheney wanted to drink, hunt and shoot things up maybe VP isn't the right job for him. Maybe he should be - oh - head of a company. No they might care about that too.

[txindy]

8. Sarcasm tag. Missing.

Thought you'd like to edit. :hi:

[DemNoir]

9. Sarcasm needs a tag now?

I guess No Child Left Behind has really kicked in.

[txindy]

12. When we've had trolls bouncing all over scolding DUers over just this, yes

But thanks for the patronizing.

[Che_Nuevara]

15. See the scary thing is

there are actually people who would make the above argument.

Not most people who skulks DU, but they exist nonetheless.

[txindy]

17. And they've made that argument repeatedly here, since this story broke

[thebigidea]

27. ridiculous. If someone couldn't tell that was sarcasm...

... they deserve to be confused.

[txindy]

29. Have you checked the threads lately?

This initially sounded like some serious ones we've had to fend off for the past couple of days. If anyone can't see that, they deserve their short attention spans.

[Bunny]

10. And so what if he was with a woman who is not his wife?

I mean, it's not like they impeach people for that, or anything.

[Dees]

11. That's right. Lynn doesn't have to know everything.

[babylonsister]

13. Best post all day! nt

[Swamp Rat]

14. "Nice shot Mr. Vice President!"

:D

[calmblueocean]

16. Don't forget pills. Alcohol AND pills.

He takes several medications for his heart, doesn't he?

[Dees]

19. So he ignores the warnings of physicians and pharmaceutical Cos.

[Pirate Smile]

18. Yeah, doesn't everybody get to shoot someone on private property

and have it treated like a private affair?

Doesn't everybody get to shoot somebody in the face and heart then wait to talk to the cops on your terms, the next day? Why do the cops even need to be involved - private property, private business?

Geez, people.

[H2O Man]

21. Carl Rowen did. n/t

[DemNoir]

25. Oh you liberals!

You just don't understand the world of Men. He probably mouthed off or was bragging about his kills and The Vice President rightly popped him in the face. Happens all the time.

[H2O Man]

20. The big story is

the press. They are bad. Fox News even said so. We are all mad at them.

Free Dick Cheney!

[Pirate Smile]

24. Right. That is the outrage. The rabid, liberal, hunter-hating press.

More Alan Simpson!!!

Less David Gregory!!!

[Dees]

22. So they didn't recycle the cans. Big deal.

[johnnie]

23. I agree

The thing is, Whittington hasn't said he is sorry for stepping in front of an idiot with a gun and dick *did* apologize for recklessly shooting like a two year old on his first hunting trip. Tell me, who is the bigger man?

[Dees]

26. That's the real story. You see Harry was so hammered he actually

jumped out of the grass and screamed "shoot me..shoot me".

[Beaverhausen]

28. It's not like he got a blow job or anything

[Redstone]

30. Work with some rightwinger, don't you, and heard this all day?

If so, you have my condolences. I'd have to punch someone.

[JohnyCanuck]

31. Shouldn't it be: For the love of Dick can't you let this Cheney thing go

:)

Unfortunately for the Dick, there won't be much love found for him on DU.
