10. Franken says Cheney giving Chappachinik defense.

11. He's making good points re hospital. This is news to me. I hadn't

realized that Cheney didn't go to the hopital immediately. Dinner at home when you've shot a 'friend'? No way. Dinner at the hospital vending machines. Bet he was snorkered.

19. but, but, but... Cheney said there wasn't enough room in the ambulance

Cheney: "No, I had -- I told my physician's assistant to go with him, but the ambulance is crowded and they didn't need another body in there. And so we loaded up and went back to ranch headquarters, basically."

Another logical fallacy presented courtesy of Karl Rove and the RW spin machine... see, there was simply no room in the ambulance, therefore Cheney couldn't tag along on the trip to the hospital.

Never mind the fleet of Secret Service vehicles at his disposal! Yep, this whole alibi stinks (like alcohol)...

14. Why are they NOT making a biggger deal of that?

He can refuse to see the sheriff until the next morning? Being VP does have perks eh?

[MadMaddie]

8. I love when Franken is on....

Sometimes....he can get on my nerves. But he is logical...

[napi21]

12. Even Joe agrees with Al on several points.

If Cheney had released the info immediately, none of these conversations would be taking place.

If he was sooo concerned about his friend, he would have gone to the hospital, and got something out of the vending machine!

There's only two reasons you wouldn't go to the hospital. Either he was drunk and didn't want anyone to know, OR he's a complete jerk!

13. Franken nails it: you shoot someone, you stay with him and

actually have compassion. Cheney split ASAP, never mind compassion. The SOB aka Shooter left, his 'victim' had a heart attack. Way to go, Cheney.

18. Wasn't he so worried about his friend? Cheney didn't follow him to the

hospital. He decided to eat dinner instead.:think:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

16. Buchannan is wrong on this one.

17. Franken made a good point about how hunting and alcohol...

go hand in hand. I like that Joe backed that one up with his "eveyone here in Florida brings beer when they hunt".
Franken also made a good point about Cheney consuming alcohol and the medication he must be on for his heart condition. I never thought about that.

My favorite part of the interview was when Franken asked Scarborough how many people has he shot, and Scarborough claims to have never "Shot" anyone. It's a good thing FRanken didn't ask how many mysterious deaths Joe has been linked to...

20. Ain't that a fact? nt
