He shot a man...

Been meaning to blog about this for over a week... though I loved Jon Stewert's comments last week.

How powerful do you have to be that you not only can get away with shooting a man BUT he feels he has to apologize TO YOU.

Because apparently that's how powerful Dick Cheney is.

He shot a man this month, he admitted he drank a bit before the shooting [though this admission was later edited out of his lone interview], he then waited until he slept it off before talking to the authorities. Oh Dick then had his hostess break the news to the local press, instead of being a man and owning up to the event.

The last sitting vice president to shoot a man was Arron Burr. He shot a man in a duel- so the other guy had a chance to shoot back. Now at the time, duels were on the wane but it still was an ‘honorable’ thing. However no matter how ‘legal’ the duel was, this duel destroyed Burr’s future. He became the FIRST Vice President not to go on to be president and his named was sullied forever- Hamilton appears on a bill, not so Burr’s.

Dick Cheney has had no such problems. His victim has apologized for putting Cheney and his family through sooo much drama, by not knowing if HE ( the victim) was going to be ok.

The victim was so close to Cheney that one of the buckshots got stuck into his heart, causing a heart attack, and he felt the need to apologize.

Man. It’s good to be the king. Or vice king as the case may be.
