Cheney Skips White House Holiday Party To Go Hunting

Washington Post:

Missing from Monday night's black-tie White House holiday ball for all three branches of government was one very prominent official of the executive branch: Vice President Dick Cheney. He was away on a life-threatening mission - at least for the brave souls who joined him.

Members of Congress flocked to the White House in their tuxedos and gowns for well-spiked eggnog, gourmet nosh (the crab cakes and chicken fingers were big hits) and photos with President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. And some of them noticed that while the Bushes stood for hours on end saying "cheese" with hundreds of lawmakers, justices, Cabinet officials and select staffers - Cheney was nowhere to be found.

The lawyers in the area better be careful. Darth Cheney has been know to hunt and shoot them out of season.

GOING HUNTING is code word for meetings with CORPORATIONS AND BIG MONEY PEOPLE. Like the old Tobacco people use to have duck hunting trips.

That is where money changes hands.

The Fat Coward goes to blast duck....

All I want for Christmas is a duck that shoots back!

Let us all hope and pray that he takes himself out this time around. If not directly, by using that shotgun to blow his brains out, then perhaps he has the luck to use an especially heavy loaded shell, and the sound, amplified to the decibel level of a 155mm artillery round, gives him a quick and dirty heart attack.
I have never heard anyone speculate on whether all the heart work this jerk has had, and all the heart medicine he takes every day, doesn't lead to insanity.
He's insane.
No question.

Couldn't be a soldier, couldn't do military duty but he can shoot hunting partners with the best of them.... what a guy...
They don't call him DICK for nothing...

[ultomatt]

Why doesn't he just shoot them in their cages? A lot easier that way, and he wouldn't have to get out of his limo.

Cold beer - 10 bucks a six pack
Secure Limo (DOD issue) - 125,000 an hour
Huntin' outfit - 375 bucks & change (LL Bean)
12ga double barreled shotgun - 500 bucks
Shootin birds in a cage - priceless

Life's good, let Bushican Express do the rest

Let him enjoy himself. The problems start when he gets back to the White House. The only thing he is hard on is lame quails, hunting partners, and his own liver when he is on these hunting trips.

See, I told people when he went into the hospital last week- his heartbeat isn't irregular, it's that his heart is exactly 2 sizes too small.

This is why he hates not only Christmas, but all holiday merrymaking.

Shhhhhhhhh! Be vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits.

[loki]

I wonder if this is more of a false facts finding trip so Cheney can help Bush push into Iran. If not, he will shoot the people for not doing the job he requested.

He'd love to party hearty,
but there's no thrill like a kill.

Poor chicken-shit draft dodger. Has to affirm his manhood through the use of a gun.

cheney is a pathetic little dildo.
