Bloggers Battle Over Cheney Misfire (But You Know The New York Slimes)

By Melissa McNamara

-snip-

The Kenedy County Sheriff's Department has closed its investigation into Cheney's accidental shooting of hunting pal Harry Whittington and issued a report that largely supports the vice president's account of the weekend's events.

But that hasn't stopped the shooting in cyberspace, where liberal bloggers were particularly riled up over the role alcohol might have played in the mishap.

Many bloggers on the left also smelled a cover up, while many right-leaning bloggers said it was all much ado about nothing.

Hallo Berlin Freeper, wie sind Sachen im Herzen von Deutschland? ...Well, that's all my drunken German I'll impose on you. I agree a beer at lunch is good for you!

I'm trying to remember, #2, the last time you had less that a six pack at lunch...

[Berlin_Freeper]

"Hallo Berlin Freeper, wie sind Sachen im Herzen von Deutschland?"

Germany lost 1-4 to Italy in a World Cup friendly, so there is a major crisis going on. Much bigger than how much Cheney drank.

[Allegra]

Hey Allegra! How it going? We have almost the same temp right now.

It's beginning to warm up quite a bit here.

Won't be long until the hellish summer is upon us. ;-)

[Bender2]

Hey Sarge, thanks for your service.

I agree and salute you, Sergeant!

[Bender2]

Re: Won't be long until the hellish summer is upon us. ;-)

Yeah, before too long you'll have to take off that fur you've been wearing.

What fur?

Opps! My mistake, Tigress...

[Bender2]

WHAT? Germany lost to the Eyeties 4-1!

I am shocked! Shocked speechless...

I cannot say how much that upsets me!

Quick, Sherman, set the Wayback so we can go correct this tragedy...

[Old Sarge]

What can I say? You're worth it.

[Allegra]

Hey, Bender, you're up awfully late.

You realize you're FReeping with mostly ex-pats in weird time zones now, right? ;-)

[smoothsailing]

Thanks for putting me on your ping list,Bender.
It's always fun!
G'Night!

[Bender2]

For you, Sarge...

And don't let those Rear Echelon Mother... eh... Fobbits get you down!

[Bender2]

Re: Hey, Bender, you're up awfully late.
You realize you're FReeping with mostly ex-pats in weird time zones now, right? ;-)

Ya know, Tigress, some of the best fun I have ever had was late at night... A drink in my hand... And a nice... eh... ex-pat listening to me spread a little bovine scattis...

That's fine, #2, but when you scatter it... Please do it down wind!

[Old Sarge]

"Did you just sneeze? Were you ABOUT to sneeze?!?
Did I give you perMISSION to sneeze!!
I bet you were gonna give one of those limp-wristed little babydoll sneezes, werncha, boy!!
I wanna hear a WAR sneeze, and there better be
enough snot drippin' off that far wall to slide me into the bay,
now lemme hear a WAR SNEEZE!!!"

[Bender2]

Re: Thanks for putting me on your ping list,Bender. It's always fun! G'Night!

Time to say Goodnight, Dick...

Goodnight, Dick...

Goodnight, Dick...

Gad! See what you stated, smooth... ...Well, goodnight, smooth. Sleep tight...

[Bender2]

Sarge... Want'a Old Corps China Marine to set those REMFs right for ya?

And he can do it, too!

[Allegra]

WAR SNEEZE coming right up!

I happen to have cold symptoms this morning. Sniffly, sneezy, miserable...

Or it could just be all the $%#@! dust.

[Old Sarge]

Aw, Christ on a crutch, not you TOO??!!?

[Bender2]

Re: ...all the $%#@! dust.

I suggest a cold beer. It gets the dust right out of me.

It does that for me, too, Hank...

That on my list, too! Beer does good things for you!

Works for me!

If a beer doesn't do it, try a jug of martinis...

[Allegra]

You've got the Iraqi Crud, too??

I was fine yesterday. I feel like cr@p today.

[Bender2]

Well, the party's about worn down for the night and I'm ready for the rack... Ya'll take care! See ya'll on the morrow...

[beyond the sea]

Great stuff .......... as usual.
