Impatient with efforts to close the courts to litigants, the Administration literally fired the first shot in its groundbreaking “No Lawyer Left Standing” initiative.
Vice-President Cheney, hunting on a private lawyer ranch near Kingsville, Texas, bagged an impressive buck (Harry Whittington, UT Law ’50). Under the new program, hunters may take one white shoe in-house lawyer or three outside lawyers daily. The limit has been suspended for trial lawyers. “We’ve just got to thin the herd,” said the Vice-President. “We’ve tried tort reform and caps on damages, but people are still suing.” Cheney added, “It’s easy and fun. In Texas, you can shoot in almost any direction and hit a lawyer.”

The Deseret Morning News reported on Wednesday, February 15, that “the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said it will classify the Saturday shooting as an error in judgment by Cheney ….” Cheney’s now proven propensity for error in judgment casts new light on his statements concerning WMD in Iraq prior to the ill-advised invasion of that country. Let’s be done with this administration once and for all! We can start by sending Bush to the Hague, where he should be tried for war crimes.

To add insult to injury, Bush, on February 16, in his first public comments about the shooting, stated that Cheney was “profoundly affected” by the experience. Bush’s statement thus begs the question: Were either Bush or Cheney “profoundly affected” by the deaths of over 2000 U.S. soldiers or countless thousands of innocent Iraqis? I certainly haven’t seen any evidence to suggest that such is the case!

Hi Ken,
You’re gonna have to explain the above post. Some of us aren’t “hip to the jive”.

Think Elmer Fudd. Think Bugs Bunny. Think Wagner. Think googling for “kill the wabbit”.

“My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this week,” says Harry W. upon release from the hospital Friday, Feb. 17, following being shot in the face by Dick “the dick” Cheney. Apologizing for being shot?!? Indeed, there is simply no bottom to the shame that follows the bush administration.

It could be that whittington being the obsequious republican lapdog that he is, was honored to be shot by the vice perpetrator.
He will wear the mark of the least forever.
