Thread: Vice President Cheney had no license to kill - quail, that is.

Anyway, several different versions of the story were floating around: Cheney cooperated w/ the local police investigation or the Secret Service shut out the locals; the guy shot was just nicked or the guy was blasted in the face and chest w/ heart damage.

But on the other hand, I suppose I would be told to "go fuck myself" by The Man.

I don't believe we have a right to shit that has nothing to do with the job. I don't think the spirit of transparent government is to get into the personal lives of the government. This was a personal event, it happened on his time, not ours.

That would have applied to Clinton getting a blowjob right?

Yes. Although a case could be made that she was given preferential treatment because of the beej's. I personally didn't give a shit.

Except that he did it while on the job.

I do agree w/ you to an extent. I think it is the public's right to know that the VP has negligently and recklessly endangered the life of another person. That kind of character can reflect badly on his job performance. I mean, shit, you don't want some reckless SOB a hearbeat away...or for example, a drunk or coke head for that matter--those are personal problems too (not matters of state).

I thought that Clinton shouldn't have been impeached but that the vote for impeachment should have happened.

When is a president not on the job?

How about when he doesn't have a dignitary waiting for an appointment?

I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride in Ted Kennedy's car

Come on DOMS, a beej trumps any dignitary.

I didn't even think that had to be said. Let's see....either talk to some foreign prunefaced bastard who I give a shit less about or get a sloppy hummer from an eager intern. Decisions, decisions.

At least Clinton had the respect to remember the dudes name.

The real problem for Clinton getting a blowjob was the lying under oath.

Ha! I though "Monica" looked like a guy in drag.

But he would never have been under oath had a bullshit posturing trial never occured. Not that that makes it right.

Lying depends on what the meaning of "is" is. hahahaha Fucking lawyers.

Bill Clinton doesn't want to go off half cocked, but he can't resist peppering Dick Cheney with a little common sense after the Veep's hunting accident.
Speaking to us Monday night, the former President allowed that we should cut Cheney some slack if he was hunting "in a serious quail place, where wild birds land," where "you've got to rustle them up and they fly fast. A lot of times you can't see them on the ground, and you do turn and fire. As awful as it looks, [accidents] happen."
But then there's the kind of place where Cheney's known to hunt - where, Clinton noted, "They raise the quail on a farm." He added: "It's hardly a sport. The quail are slow. You have to stomp on the ground to get them to get up and fly. And you can't not get your limit. If it was that kind of farm, then, whatever the facts are, the Vice President shouldn't have done that. Because he was going to get his limit."
A Texas Parks and Wildlife Department report found that the main factor in Cheney's tenderizing 78-year-old Harry Whittington, was the "hunter's judgment." Whatever the factors, Democratic pundits James Carville and Paul Begala couldn't help savoring the blunder at a party Clinton hosted in his Harlem office for their book "Take It Back."
"Cheney invited Hillary [Clinton] to go quail-hunting," cracked Carville in a room that included former Clintonites Robert Rubin and Lisa Caputo, and media types like Maria Bartiromo, David Remnick, Rick Hertzberg and Joe Conason. "Good thing she said no."
Meanwhile, Clinton laughed off a Times story in which some said his wife's oratory paled next to his own. Speechwriter Ted Sorenson had likened Hillary to Cicero, of whom it was said, "How well he spoke," and Bill to Demosthenes, who inspired crowds to exclaim, "Let us march!"
"I called her this morning," said Bill. "I said, 'Cicero was a damn fine orator!'" While some thought he upstaged Hillary at Coretta Scott King's memorial service, Bill said, "I thought she did really well. I thought we were good together." Would they be taking their act on the road as she campaigns? "If she wants me to stay home, I'll stay home," he said. "If she wants me to speak, I'll go speak. Whatever she thinks is best."

I guess the controversy now is whether or not Cheney was boozing it while hunting. Sit back and watch it unfold.

Yea, soon we'll hear that the reason he shot the lawyer is because he was getting a hummer from an intern and his finger slipped on the trigger.
