I'm not even disgusted by this. That's so beneath Morford's gerbil-packing, prissy standards.

This guy Mark Morford needs a strait-jacket -- immediately.

I'm betting this bottom-feeder prefers real sport:

An overfed doctor corning an unborn, live human baby in the womb, and ripping it to shreds.

Now, that's sport, huh Mark?

Morford has sand in his vagina.

By my tally, there is a net gain in the population of pheasants in the area now.

No carcasses were left to rot in the field, in fact sounds like there may be pheasant under glass at a State Dinner sometime soon.

My Dad started a sportsman's club in NE PA back in the 70s. They bought the eggs, the hens, etc, raised them in coops and released them into the wild. (We preferred the tramping in the fields method to the released from nets hunts, to each their own.)

Good shootin, Dick!

Your thoughts: Too redneck or clever midwest strategery?

Consider the midwest states and the effect of the Demo riverboat. To gain that extra percentage in the midwest, would it be a good idea for W to go ice fishing?

(OK, stop laughing.)

Arrange for Tony Dean or someone similar to meet GW out at Devils Lake and W's lead goes up 1% for every pound his largest walleye weighs...

or would there be an equal and opposite effect in the coastaliberal states?

I don't think that you can have a canned pheasant hunt; You can put up fences, but pheasants can fly. It's not as if they're tying them to posts staked into the ground to make them easy to shoot.

They usually just run across the ground like a roadrunner until they get spooked into the air by a hound dog.

A pheasant is just a wild chicken anyway. What's the big deal?

[Gritty]

If Vice-President Cheney's first name was something other than "Dick", Ms. Morford would not be so fond of writing about him all the time.

[Redbob]

I personally think "lazy, canned pheasants" SHOULD be slaughtered, if only for the good of the species.

Or, is it, "... coddle the barrel of your p---s and dream of homos and Hillary Clinton, just so you can shoot J.Lo and tell jokes about a few wild birds." ?

"Tennis? You call that sport? That's not a sport. Why, nobody kills anything."

Evelyn Waugh has a description of a pigeon shoot off the hotel balcony along the Riveria somewhere, that he saw other guests engaged in. After describing it, he says "the best thing I've heard said about this is that it is 'not cricket'".

What the writer is obviously truly bothered about is the absence of a quagmire. The Iraqis were supposed to win, gosh darn it. No fair not giving them a chance and just winning. That's like, so crude. And doesn't help the Dems chances at all.

Overwhelming firepower is a welcome advantage in any situation.
