Vice President Cheney remained in hiding Monday as the controversy over his weekend man-hunt continued to swirl. At issue:
- Why did it take so long for information about the shooting to be released to the public, and why didn't Cheney's staff do the releasing (rather than releasing it person-to-person from Cheney's lobbyist/rancher friend to the weekend health and fitness reporter at a small Texas daily...)
- Why did Cheney fly the coup (so to speak) after the shooting of his friend, and why did he faile to tell the president until several hours later?
- Why were Texas sheriff's prevented from interviewing the vice president immediately after the incident, as would have been done with any other citizen ... (oh, right, it would have tipped al-Qaida off to sources and methods...)
- Why is Dick Cheney so much funnier now that he has shot someone in the face... and yet, so much scarier...?
- What is the purpose of a hunting stamp, and might it have been helpful in relieving Cheney of one of his five Vietnam-era draft deferrments so he could get his jollies shooting Viet Cong rather than elderly GOP cronies? ... Just a thought...
- No, seriously, was Cheney drunk off his ass or what...?
- How much hard liquor does Scott McClellan have to drink every morning in order to remain in his job? Does he actually have any dignity left, and if so, are pills or intense psychotherapy involved?
Inquiring minds ... And now for some of the best headlines on the Texas Cheney-didn't saw that guy's face in his gun-sight massacre: Big Cheese calls the posse on Deadeye Dick Maine Democrat Holly Valero details Dick's creepy "canned hunting" fetish and announces that the Buckshot Stops Here ... oh, boy, I sure hope it doesn't exactly stop there... (that's gonna leave a mark...)
