Franken Says Cheney Shot Whittington Just to Watch Him Die

Remember back in October when Al Franken joked with David Letterman about Karl Rove and I. Lewis Libby being executed for treason? Well, Franken is at it again with a blog entry Sunday evening at the Huffington Post. This time, the target of his tasteless satire is Vice President Dick Cheney who accidentally shot his hunting partner on Saturday:
Over the weekend, Vice President Dick Cheney shot a man in Texas. Asked why he shot the man, the Vice President said, Just to watch him die."
Much like other members of the media, Franken saw a bizarre connection to a previously documented hunting trip that the vice president went on: You know who's doing a there but for the grace of God go I?; Scalia.
Then, Franken painted a sophomoric picture of what would happen if Bush and Cheney went hunting:
Now, I imagine that Cheney and the President have hunted together. What would have happened if Cheney had shot the President? I think if he shot Bush this way, Bush isn't 78 and he's in pretty good shape, and he's kinda macho. I think he would've gotten up and shot Cheney back. And I think they would've started blasting each other like in a Tarrantino [sic] movie.
Thats some funny stuff, Al. Dont quit your day job. Speaking of which, things must not be going well over at Hot Air America, as Franken has taken to spamming blogs to attract listeners:
Anyway, be sure to listen to the Al Franken Show tomorrow - noon to three EST. And Vice President Cheney will be our special guest. And guess what? He's bringing his shotgun!
Makes you wonder if theyre going to start paying kids to hang ads on doorknobs to get listeners much the way Dominos sells pizza. Of course, unlike Franken's comedic attempts, Dominos delivers.
john wesley hardin. so mean, he shot a man just for snorin'.
Does he think Cheney is Johhny Cash or something?
You mean as in.... out the ...Really?!!!
Walk the Line was great. Who are you kidding?
Franken said something decent about W? That is news...
Franken should seek help.
Only if you're a dimocrat. Dims are known to laugh hysterically at unfunny material between tokes.
He probably making a joke with reference to the Johnny Cash song.
Good Lord, that's a sick and evil thing to say.
If Cheney were that cold, we could send him to Iran. Some prime shooting needs to be done there! And it would be a GOOD thing, IMO.
No Al, it was an accident.
If he shot YOU, it would be just to watch you die.
Get it straight.
Better watch out Al - Dick might just bust a cap on your sorry a$$
He's the William Hung of comedy....
I am a Cash fan and thought it was really good.
Look, we all know that lefty losers are going to be making lame jokes about this for the rest of their lives. But getting Alito confirmed over the objections of these same morons is infinitely more satisfying.
We can only hope, Al.
Franken is (or was) a comedian. He's not funny any more.
Correction: "A colossal waste of sperm!"
Hey, Al. Ask Kennedy if sh** floats.
