Dick Cheney Kills Birds Dead (The manly veep has himself a lazy, "canned" pheasant slaughter)

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Friday, January 23, 2004 | Mark Morford, "Yay Dick!"

[presidio9]

So then about a month ago the vice president of these beautiful and deeply confused United States, he of the struggling defibrillator and the shockingly nefarious wife and the gnarled calluses from working Dubya's puppet strings, he of the thin-lipped sneer that makes babies cry and women wince and foreign policies crumble like feta cheese in the freezer, well, Dick goes himself a-huntin'.

[FormerLib]

Gee, the leftists are still trying to recycle this old news to get the PETA people PO'ed at Cheney?

What a pack of lame losers!

More Morford used food.

Be sure to send that photo to this author, so he can choke on it.

Dick and about nine other overfed white guys

Michael Moore was there, too?

[ladtx]

This is the best they can do? Dragging up old news and replaying it? Hard to get those panties unwadded I guess.

[neutrino]

Tut, tut. You forgot the barf alert!

[presidio9]

I long for the days when potatos and berries grew wild and free. There is no sport in walking out to your garden and simply slaughtering them.

[The South Texan]

Man , what a photo op. That orange safety vest looks like it just came off the shelf of a sporting goods store.

Can somebody please send Miss Morford a tofurkey with some nice synthetic tryptophan to calm her down? This idiot is in permanent Howard-Dean-pro-wrestler-yaaaaargh mode, 24/7/365.

Didn't Kerry do this...and have his campaign publish photos?? Who has that photo of Kerry holding the gun wrong?

[CholeraJoe]

This is what it was: Dick and about nine other overfed white guys sitting in a comfy luxury blind with their manly shotguns, waiting for the Westmoreland guy stationed behind them on a hill to release clusters of stunned, fat, tame game birds from a net. Then they shoot them.

Sweet. It doesn't get any better than this.

[freebilly]

There is no nobility, no honor, no sportsmanship, no instinct, no luck, no tramping through fields and crouching in blinds and waiting for hours as you coddle the barrel of your shotgun and dream of J.Lo and tell jokes about homos and Hillary Clinton, just so you can shoot a few wild birds.

It's good to know the writer sees nobility and honor in dreaming of J.Lo and telling jokes about Hillary and homos....

[Puppage]

Dick is far too fragile and unskilled and spoiled and scared of the open woods and icky furry monsters for that. Assumedly.

Typical leftist crap. When ya can beat 'em with facts.....just demean & lie. Gee, where's the tolerance?

[hang 'em]

And who weeps for the countless numbers of gerbils Morford and her ilk have abused and slaughtered?

"Ya know Kerry, this pheasants butt looks better than your face".

[cake_crumb]

That's a good one...but that wasn't it. Searching....

There was a fellow by the name of Greene who was on C-SPAN's Washington Journal a couple of days ago. He is the WH correspondent for the Baltimore Sun. At the end of his appearance he told the host that he was working on a possible conflict of interest story involving Cheney and Scalia. Supposedly they were together in Louisiana at a private hunting preserve duck hunting last week. I can't think of what the conflict of interest would be? We'll see.
