3. because it's something "unnatural" that has never been resolved/answered!
Who in the hell/WHY???? would Addington get out there and APOLOGIZE b/c he got shot in the face by Cheney? That's so f*cked up! Why didn't Cheney get out there and apologize to Addington, which would be NORMAL/APPROPRIATE ~ considering that MOST people don't go shooting their friends in the face on a regular basis, of course....... :eyes:

5. We never really knew for sure who was there that weekend
The lady who owned the ranch changed her stories a few times.

That (Swiss?) ambassador uh...ladyfriend of Cheney's took off pronto.

It was all hushed up, then the M$M dropped it after that weird apology.

:shrug:

7. It doesn't really matter, does it?
Edited on Thu Jun-04-09 01:14 AM by Mind_your_head
Nobody that was there that weekend ever took the "heat" away from Cheney that he was the 'shooter'.

I mean, how many "friends" are ya gonna have after you shoot your hunting partner in the face and then "they" apologize for you shooting them?

:freak:

Even republicans know when to flee from "crazy people"

on edit: I'm probably giving most 'republicans' too much credit for knowing when to flee from "crazy people". 28% seem bound and determined to "go down with the ship".

6. because it's politics - it's not the "real" world...it's not supposed to make sense....
....it's a "throw me a bone" mentality - give me something to believe in.

He apologized cause he had more to gain from lying than telling the truth....

8. "He had more to gain from lying than telling the truth"
....and what did he 'gain' exactly?

I'm not directing this question at the poster I've responded to, just asking peeps in "general".:

Q: He had more to gain from lying than telling the truth"

A: ...and what did he 'gain' exactly?

10. You'd rather he had anonymous face shooting encounters?
In our culture, face shooting is an intimate act that, for reasons of hygiene and social harmony, is best reserved for two mature people who know and care for each other very much, and are ready to become hunting buddies in a committed, full bore relationship.

It's completely normal and natural for hunting buddies to express how they feel in face shooting. (By normal I mean shooter on top, preceded by 15 minutes of gun cleaning and afterwards, Leno.) Any misgivings or further technical questions you may have can be answered confidentially by your family doctor or priest or shooting instructor. Of course, it's a very personal activity and parents, housemates, and neighbors should be all able to count on you respecting their privacy when they are behind closed doors with their hunting buddy. So if you suspect someone you know may be face shooting in private don't knock on their door, or barge in, or call them repeatedly on the telephone, or stand outside their window yelling at them. Just return and ask your question in the morning at a decent hour. Face shooting isn't a sick, abnormal, or shameful practice at all but rather an important part of healthy well adjusted adult life. If we couldn't shoot our hunting buddy in the face, the world would be very lonely indeed! Persecuting people, teasing them for having a hunting buddy, (or gunning for one if they are unattached), or suddenly accusing them of face shooting in front of strangers or visiting relatives is a naughty behavior, as is hounding public figures about who they might be shooting in the face. When people are made to feel embarrassed about their need for a hunting buddy to shoot in the face, they may seek gratification of their face shooting urges in illicit ways. You may have heard about such cases occurring in public parks after the sun goes down, or in the basements of churches. Sadly, it also still happens that some desperate souls resort to paying for a facial shot, going to "shooting galleries" to shoot it out with a "mercenary" in loveless unsatisfying trigger play that is degrading to both the target and client alike. People who have been driven to such deviant encounters often end up with lead poisoning and several other unmentionable and infectious diseases.

Mr. Cheney may have grown up and shot his first friend in the face centuries ago in the age of flintlock muskets, but evidently he still hears the call, "Pull!" He will probably go on shooting people in the face until his last days, even if it's only with the assistance of some kind of pump implant. The only question is will he take care of his need to empty his magazine in a socially acceptable manner ? Or will he seek release in one of those sordid and sad byways mentioned above. Or perhaps i should rather ask, will we let him walk among us with dignity by acknowledging his hunting buddy, nodding and smiling at them while tacitly aware that they engage in unrestrained face shooting on a regular basis, or will we drive him underground--and possibly to an ugly end--by our "uptight" disapproval of their special relationship?
