Cheney bothered by the criticism over "hunting accident" -- “It never goes away”
Edited on Tue Oct-16-07 02:12 PM by sabra

<snip>

But while Hayes said most of the criticism Cheney faces “washes off of him,” he is bothered by the criticism over a hunting accident in which he shot and injured a fellow hunter.

“He does not like people to think of him as not a good outdoorsman,” Haynes said.

Hayes noted that in an interview a year after the accident, Cheney pointed to jokes on late-night television and accounts in the press about the issue.

Hayes quoted Cheney: “It never goes away.”

17. We Think Alike
That was Exactly my first thought.

This guy is HATED for SOOOOOO MANY Reasons, and this is the one which bothers him most? Not being considered a good outdoorsman?

What a PIECE OF SHIT.

25. And he's got a kindred spirit in his "boss"
When asked about his greatest moment while in office, the pResident replied:

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound perch in my lake."

7. He doesn't give a crap if people call him a mass murderer or
a treasonous bastard, he only takes offense at people calling him a bad shot. Typical.

15. And Yet. . .
. . . this great white hunter did accidently shoot a guy. So, this makes him a good shot? Huh?

So, like you said, you can call him a criminal, a thief, a liar, but don't call him a bad shot, even if he is one. (I gotta go lay down.)

10. Golly, Dick
Between the canned hunts, the shooting your pal in the face, and the bribe time with Supreme Court Justices, why would anyone think you weren't a good outdoorsman (whatever in hell that is supposed to mean)?

And after all of his crimes of the last seven years, what bothers him the most are lame jokes oh late night about shooting a man in the face. Not the corruption, not the war-mongering, not the lies, not the subversion of the Constitution, but the jokes about shooting a man in the face. What kind of a man is this Dick Cheney?

11. “He does not like people to think of him as not a good outdoorsman.”
Well, maybe he should not have violated every cardinal rule of gun safety, all the while participating in a canned "hunt."

That infamous day, 'ol Dickless showed just what a non-gun, non-hunting person he really is. No amount of whining can change that fact.

12. Cheney can sleep like a baby with the deaths of more than 3,000 American
soldiers in Iraq, but his feelings still can hurt by criticism about his hunting "faux pas".

Warped priorities once again without shame.

21. That's not really the right thing to say, you know.
The preferred phrase is: "I sincerely hope you choke on shit." Any modifiers beyond this are acceptable, but it is important the recipient understand your fervent desire that he or she not only eat shit, but choke on it in the process.

16. Typical Dick ...
He is not concerned that the "story that won't go away" includes the fact that he shot a friend in the face, and then sat down and had a few drinks, and then dinner, while his friend was being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance in serious, perhaps critical, condition.

All he's concerned with is being thought of as a "poor outdoorsman".

What a f*ckin' loser.

As far as the political shit goes, he can spin it, and does, as "history will prove I'm right"

A Vice-President of the United States of America shoots a man and disappears for 12 hours.

These things happen all the time.

35. not a good sportsman dickhead?
You don't have a friggin' clue what a good sportsman is.
You call blasting birds just released from a cage into smithereens being a good sportsman?
All so you can get a knob in your knickers from the carnage?
Birds raised and penned up just so you can obliterate them.
Fits right in with your blood lust for war and more war.
You are one sick fuck.

38. Fuck you, Dick! People who participate in CANNED HUNTS of CAGED ANIMALS
are NOT outdoorsmen. You're just a piece of shit with too much money. I'd like to invite you to come go on a 'hunt' with me. You know, the kind where you park your truck and walk a mile or deeper into the woods. Yes dickhead, I said walk... no 4 wheelers, no shooting from a truck... nothing but hardcore HUNTING. I want to see you bag a 220lb buck, then have to gut it and drag it over a mile out of the woods in rough terrain.

Do you have the guts or integrity for a hunt like that, Dickie Boy?

"Outdoorsman"..... :spray: :rofl:

Oh... did I mention that we'll be using a primative Long Bow?
