Don't expect to see Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney on an elk hunt anytime soon.
The former Alaska governor slammed Cheney Tuesday for his assertion that it was a mistake to put her on the 2008 GOP ticket, saying the former vice president was being influenced by the "lamestream media."
Appearing to reference a now-infamous incident from 2006 when Cheney accidentally shot a campaign contributor on a quail hunt, Palin said sarcastically that Cheney was not known for his "misfires."
"Seeing as how Dick – excuse me, Vice President Cheney – never misfires, then evidently he's quite convinced that what he had evidently read about me by the lamestream media, having been written, what I believe is a false narrative over the last four years, evidently Dick Cheney believed that stuff and that's a shame," Palin said in an appearance on Fox News.

“right, I don’t Cheney ever wore the uniform. kind of strange to be a secretary of defense, and never served in the military.”
IIRC, I believe he said something along the lines “I had other priorities” during Vietnam.
Good for Gov. Palin! Cheney’s comments were nothing more than echoing the pablum from George Soros and the Liberal Media.
As much as Cheney gets attacked by the same Liberal Media, he should have known better
Cheney is disappointing me lately.....this plus pro gay marriage crap is too much.....STHUDC!
McCain was the mistake, not the governor.
Don’t worry Sarah. Cheney said worse about Reagan and the conservatives who supported him back in 1976.
I missed the Laura Bush comment - what did she say about Sarah?
As I have commented elsewhere one should be careful about baiting Mama Grizzlies especially if their shotgun skills are better than yours.
Sarah is eminently diggable.
“Cheney and Jeb are two globalist peas. Quelle surprise!”
Cheney also supported the LOST Treaty, something that doesn’t make much sense.

It is all about a bush dynasty.

I really wish she would stop using the “lame stream media” phrase. It makes her sound like an idiot. We all know it’s biased and corrupt. Talk like a grown up for God’s sake.
I truly believe our children are a true reflection of the parents, both good and bad.
Excuse me, but that was an ad hominem attack on a fellow FReeper expressing his opinion. Can you not rebut his opinion with your own? Why are they not sluts? They were called that not too long ago as I recall. Single moms and gays were sluts and homos because of there behaviour. They have the same behavior but now they are called differently. Is this wrong? Is it wrong then but right now? Instead of answering an opinion based on logic, you call him a moron? Shame.
I posted that on another thread on this subject and got a comment that she is not fit for the office if she stooped that low ( I am para-phrasing here).
You and I are the only ones to see it, yes IMHO it was a bit of a cross body check into the boards.....
The thing about Cheney’s remark is that it was totally pointless, and served no purpose at this point in time, unless his purpose was simply to act like just one more elitist snob looking down his nose at anyone not part of the old Inside the Beltway crowd.
Cheney lowered himself in the eyes of many, and for what?
