Frighteningly Mr. Burns-esque Vice President Dick Cheney cemented his reputation for cartoonish supervillainy Saturday by “accidentally” shooting his 78-year-old hunting buddy. The old man, Texas attorney Harry Whittington, was “alert and doing fine” after being rushed to the hospital.
Why did Cheney shoot Whittington in the first place? Sources say that when Whittington was talking about a “duck hunt,” Cheney thought he was referring to the VP’s wife, Lynne. This made Cheney angry, although he himself has called her much worse. Reports say Cheney “sprayed [Whittington] with shotgun pellets,” making it the most unfortunate spraying involving a high-level White House staffer since Karl Rove ruined his favorite rentboy’s futon.
“So, Mr. Cheney, what is your position on gun control?”
C’mon..This man is Genius!!!! By shooting a guy in the face, and THEN making sure the press sat on it for a day (’cause nobody reads/watches the news on Saturday) he effectively took Mikey Brown’s complete dumping of Katrina on the White House’s lap OFF the news
This just in…Whittington has suffered a minor heart attack due to the birdshot in his body getting lodged in his heart.
I feel real bad for the guy…..but can this get any better?? It’s freakin amazing
Rove is dribbler, not a shooter.
