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.

Cheney is an ass, and his hunting trip is costing the taxpayers a fortune, because they have to take a small version of a major medical center with him, and a huge security detail, so he can get drunk and shoot at things.

No doubt they are using illegal immigrants to drive the birds towards the hunters. Those quail really run when they her andale, andale, andale.

Ah nothing like the satisfaction of killing small critters. I never feel like more a man than when i kill stuff that weighs less than 2 pounds.

"Looks like I won't get to kill Iranians this year, so I'll just have to settle with range-sparrows.

Must kill something, the heart is starting to go.

Kill, kill, kill".
