Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: CHIZZY on February 12, 2006, 03:21:13 PM: http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/12/cheney.ap/index.html

I have officially given up on our current administration. The President: I lost him a while ago. I always knew the VP was an asshole, but at least I thought he was intelligent.

Post by: Titan on February 12, 2006, 04:03:35 PM: That guy looks really good for 78 years old. Its kinda humerous (well since the guy is ok. If he wasn\'t, then it wouldn\'t) and the fact that now people have yet another thing to make fun of this administration about. Man, they just don\'t have it easy.

"The vice president didn\'t see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good

not completely his fault

Post by: Eiksirf on February 12, 2006, 05:57:46 PM: Heh that\'s awesome. My dad just walked by to say goodnight and I got to go "Look, Vice-President Cheney just shot a guy."

That cracks me up, heh.

And he shot him in the face, neck and chest?

Post by: FatalXception on February 12, 2006, 08:10:01 PM: After about 50 meters, ANY (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun#Pattern_and_choke) shotgun rounds basically loose all potency. Some rounds don\'t even have potency past a couple dozen feet. Which is why shotguns, with any load are the \'ultimate\' close in weapon, but nobody would use one in a long range firefight.

Post by: CHIZZY on February 13, 2006, 04:43:26 AM: I will say that if he used 00 Buckshot, his head & neck might not be connected right now. You can buy shotgun shells with 8 lead pellets. Like the kind used to clear trenches in WWII. (think back to Medal of Honor....)

A pheasant isn\'t exactly a big bird though. Using 8 pelet shells will explode the damn thing. You might as well throw alkaseltzer at the damn things.

Post by: CHIZZY on February 13, 2006, 12:39:05 PM: It looks cool as shit, though. I\'ve seen someone blast a rabbit with buckshot at close range. All there was was a pink cloud.

Post by: clips on February 14, 2006, 02:01:30 PM: the latest now is that this cat suffered a mild heart attack. I think this situation might be a wee bit more complicated than what initial reports are saying...
Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: Eiksirf on February 14, 2006, 03:21:44 PM: Yeah, apparently he shot him partly in the face and some of the pellets will not be removed.

Cheney blasted this guy.

Idiot.

just like how the republicans wanted to impeach clinton for gettin\' his knob sucked...it\'s all bulls**t really..whatever party is in the white house, the other side will go to great lengths to embarrass the other. Ultimately at the end of day this was nothing more but a honest accident....a dumb accident..but that is all it was....

The media was lookin for cheney to respond right away...and when he didn\'t the media went into conspiracy mode!..:p...they really just need to settle down and get a life!
Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: Titan on February 16, 2006, 08:46:59 AM: I saw a commercial for a liberal news station saying that it was a coverup for something big. It said something like "hunting accident or huge government coverup. Tune in at 11 for the truth". I ddint\' even bother to flip it on because it would have been like an hour of bullshit on how its a huge coverup.
Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: Eiksirf on February 16, 2006, 09:36:47 AM: I haven\'t heard anybody try to spin it. Just the fact that, hey look, Cheney shot a guy in the face.

Though I did see someone say that such and such a thing was coming up soon, so this takes the focus off that. But please, you don\'t shoot a 78 year old in the face to create a smokescreen.

You shoot a 78 year old man in the face because you don\'t know what you\'re doing.

Or because you have a vendetta against said 78 year old man. And, possibly, his face.

Post by: Titan on February 16, 2006, 09:58:00 AM: Didn\'t they say that this was partially the guy who got shot\'s fault since he didn\'t achnowledge that he was there? It was a hunting accident. This kind of stuff happens all the time.
Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: Eiksirf on February 16, 2006, 10:06:52 AM: That\'s true, the guy didn\'t say "Vice President Cheney, I\'m standing with my face in front of your gun. You would see me if you watched where you were shooting, but since you fire with your eyes closed I thought I should warn you."

And he probably didn\'t say all that because he had just been shot. In the face.

By the Vice President of the United States of America.

Heh, that doesn\'t actually happen all that often. ;]

Post by: Phil on February 16, 2006, 10:28:49 AM: I heard on the news that certain liberals were trying to spin this as a metaphor to the iraq war. :rolleyes:

hell, even my super liberal friend had to laugh at that. But like Clips said, it goes both ways.
Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: Eiksirf on February 16, 2006, 10:41:50 AM: Heh, the Daily Show did that. It was funny. They related it to WMDs, Iraq and the war on terror in one report. And also, Duck Hunt. They also picked on the idea of raising game in captivity to be killed.

But all that was what they call, ya know, a joke.

Post by: JBean on February 16, 2006, 11:19:13 AM: maybe it\'s just me but is the colbert report funnier than the daily show now?
Title: ummm.....ok that\'s the last straw....
Post by: Viper_Fujax on February 16, 2006, 11:22:55 AM: ever since john stewert got his new desk, he got a lot more serious (actually after the election). Still a hilarious show but i cant decide if colbert report is better.

One of the new anchors on the daily show is stupid (think he replaced colbert..not the bald guy..the bald guy is probably the best one now). But i seem to change the channel more during colbert report, funny stuff but the show stays the same pace the whole time.

When you hunt pheasants, you\'re in tall grass. Its difficult to see someone who just ran to collect his game he just shot to the ground.
