Okay, FReepers, intellectual honesty forces me to say it -- DICK CHENEY SHOULD RESIGN!

As many of you know, I have been a big supporter of this president. As commander in chief and one who has a clear and resolute vision of the war we are fighting, I love the guy. (Yes, we should have an emergency closing of the borders until we get them under control.) It is unimaginable to think that the current group of traitorous Democrats would be in charge. We might already be using prayer rugs several times a day.

I also love Dick Cheney. He is a steadying force and invaluable asset to the administration.

Well, as much respect as I have for both of them, this latest incident involving the Vice President has to make us wonder and evaluate our political loyalty.

Cheney shot a fellow hunter, he failed to observe required safety precautions, and he didn't have a valid $7 stamp on his license to hunt quail in Texas. What is even more egregious is that he didn't immediately get on the phone to tell the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Houston Chronicle, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, Dallas Morning News, Minneapolis Star, etc. That is unforgivable. How can Cheney get away with that?

So let me be the first FReeper to say it publicly. It is with heavy heart that I say it. Vice President Dick Cheney should resign. From the NRA.

oh I would love to see that press conference. Can you imagine? They'd all show up in full combat body armor.

[txroadkill]

I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of this..Two words...Vince Foster

[Cobra64]

Cheney should resign?

Absolutely. Cheney is an untrustworthy, successfull capitalist and an a former eeevil CEO for Haliburton, intent on killing one of his best friends on a private ranch in Texas where his boss owns a 1,600 acre ranch.

[Americanwolfsbrother]

No need for Cheney to resign from the NRA. Instead he can become a goodwill ambassador for them. His first mission should be to take Cindy Sheehan, Jesse Jackson, and Calypso Louie out for a goodwill hunting trip; and maybe just maybe history can repeat itself.AWB

The topic said political humor.

[scratcher]

"I would be proud to hunt with the vice president — cautious, but proud." — Democratic Wyoming Gov. Dave Freudenthal."

LOL

[F.J. Mitchell]

LOL! Cheney should resign from the NRA. Clever post, Dough-very clever'

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

On private preserves I'm sure that's true, but the Armstrong Ranch is a working cattle and oil operation and has been for at least 150 years. Most every piece of property south of I-10 has deer, dove, turkey, and/or quail hunting.

[vetvetdoug]

Wrong Doug. Cheney peppered a lawyer. I bow down before him.

[DCPatriot]

BRAVO!!

[crushelits]

Who the hell do these media elites think they are?
Scott should not answer any more questions from theses freaks

And the a.... hole from NBC really annoys the heck out of me.



Bush Mocks And Dismisses NBC White House Correspondent

PARIS - President Bush yesterday derisively challenged press claims of widespread anti-Americanism in Europe and ridiculed an American TV correspondent for suggesting as much ó in English and French ó to him and French President Jacques Chirac.

 

"So you go to a protest and I drive through the streets of Berlin, seeing hundreds of people lining the road, waving," Mr. Bush muttered to NBC News White House correspondent David Gregory during a joint press conference with Mr. Chirac.

 

"I don't view hostility here," Mr. Bush said in the ornate Palais de l'Elysee. "I view the fact that we've got a lot of friends here."

 

He added: "And the fact that protesters show up ó that's good. I mean, I'm in a democracy."

 

Mr. Bush was responding to Mr. Gregory's question about anti-American demonstrations in Germany, Russia and France during the president's visits to these nations since Wednesday.

 

"I wonder why it is you think there are such strong sentiments in Europe against you and against this administration?" the reporter said. "Why, particularly, there's a view that you and your administration are trying to impose America's will on the rest of the world, particularly when it comes to the Middle East and where the war on terrorism goes next?" Turning to Mr. Chirac, he added in French: "And, Mr. President, would you maybe comment on that?"

 

"Very good," Mr. Bush said sardonically. "The guy memorizes four words, and he plays like he's intercontinental."

 

"I can go on," Mr. Gregory offered. "I'm impressed - que bueno," said Mr. Bush, using the Spanish phrase for "how wonderful." He deadpanned: "Now I'm literate in two languages."

 

Roars of laughter filled both the press conference room and a press filing center elsewhere in the city, where many members of the White House press corps were watching the exchange on live television.

 

Turning serious, the president spoke of the strong bond between most Europeans and Americans.

 

"Look, the only thing I know to do is speak my mind, to talk about my values, to talk about our mutual love for freedom and the willingness to defend freedom," he said. "And, David, I think a lot of people on the continent of Europe appreciate that.

 

"There's a heck of a lot more that unites us than divides us. We share the same values; we trade $2 trillion a year," he added. "I feel very comfortable coming to Europe; I feel very comfortable coming to France. I've got a lot of friends here."

 

"Sir, if I could just follow," the reporter began.

 

"Thank you," Mr. Bush shot back dismissively.

Couple thousand hours of community service...

I think with the Minutemen on the border would be a good place.

[kublia khan]

[sawmill trash]

he didn't have a valid $7 stamp on his license to hunt quail in Texas.


I think the basic hunting liscense is all that is required to hunt quail.
you DO have to have a special stamp for migratory birds 9and whitewing dove) but I don't think it's necessary for quail.

[fatima]

I Forgive you DB.I write newsletters with spelling errors but they still love me:)

[doug from upland]

He didn't know about it but admitted he discovered he needed the stamp. He just sent in his $7.
