... MAN BITES DOG, AND OTHER TALES I WISH I COULD HAVE MADE UP
The winner of this month's award goes to: VICE PRESIDENT SHOOTS MAN, accidentally.
Now, while I really want you to read the article, and half of my readership probably has before getting this far.. I have to share what are some the juicier parts.
WARNING: Conservatives and persons who live without the aide of a heart may find the following merry making at the VP's expense troubling. What ever you do, try to make sure your children see this.
1) "..emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to Whittington before an ambulance routinely on call because of the vice president's presence..."
-- Oh yeah.. man with no heart has to be kept alive with large medical team.
2) "The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good.""
-- question.. who talks like that??
3) ""It broke the skin," she said of the shotgun pellets. "It knocked him silly. But he was fine. He was talking. His eyes were open. It didn't get in his eyes or anything like that."
-- Answer, a woman who downplays the shooting of another human being aparently because "This is something that happens from time to time. You know, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong."
4) ""Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been," she said. "The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came.""
-- That one's all yours!
5) The guy who was shot was a Millionaire Attorney and Cheney's Friend.
-- Who knew Cheney had friends?
