Before We Get Too Excited...

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

For Bushya and Cheney, give'em each a HUMVEE and a machine gun...... that ought to be more than enough for men of THEIR self-importance to set things right.

Nonononono! They'll shoot indiscriminately! Remember that dubya has wrecked every single enterprise he has touched over the years, from oil companies and baseball teams, to the country itself. They'd be killing civilians and claiming they were victims of angry glances, and had no choice but kill them all.

Bring back a Napoleonic punishment and exile them to an island in the middle of the Pacific, but without any comforts whatsoever. That or a cell in isolation in a maximum security facility.

Actually, I kind of like that last one...

A humvee and a single gun.

In a country that is full of people who hate their guts.....

Think about how poor a shot Cheny is.

Make sure there's plenty of booze in the humvee's too... and Bushy will be a poor shot, too.

Neither would last an hour.  We'd be lucky to find bits of their rotten corpses...

Why bother losing a perfectly good gun and a Humvee? 

Read somewhere, I think it was Papillon, where a man was tied down over a carnivorous ant colony.Always struck me as a particularly unpleasant way to go.

Plus, it feeds the ants...

IIRC, the character of "Gomer Pyle" had a few hokey yokelisms, one of them being:  "Tie me to an anthill and smear my ears with jam!"

Sounds worth testing with the Yokel-in-Chief, no?

I don't know if he is a good shot or not but I wouldn't assume his capabilities on the incident with his 'friend', in fact I would be willing to bet that he shot him in the face on purpose.

[Swatopluk]

A good shot does not need a shotgun to hit anything 
(I'll take that back, when somebody kills a swarm of mosquitos with a single shotgun blast)

Cheney was drunk. Plain and simple, the quail outings to that part of Texas have always been drunken shows of stupidity. One of my cousins down in that area is a caterer, and she'd dealt with them for years. Cheney gets drunk and stupid.

That's why they had to wait before calling an ambulance or the cops. Time to sober the stupid jackass up so that they didn't have to explain his blood level of alcohol, or the fact that he was (as usual) drunkenly cussing every being that crossed his path.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I don't doubt about his blood alcohol level. What I'm suggesting is that it was intentional and the fact of him being drunk makes it far more plausible.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

I bet he's a spiteful bastard drunk or sober. Maybe they guy he popped said something that pissed his drunk self off.


And I vote we throw those two and their toadies in Afghanistan. It's messier, as I understand it, than Iraq and less stable. All they get is a shot gun, a parka, and some of those terrible army provisions. I expect that's the last we'll hear of them.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

... Cheney gets drunk and stupid.

Is that not an example of a redundant statement?

In fact:  it's a sort of triple-redundancy.  Cheny.  Drunk.  Stupid.

Is it not?

I'd be infavor, if you emblazoned the parka with some symbol that told anyone who they were... in fact, put that symbol on all their clothing, even their underwear.

But, I'd only issue them a knife each, not a shotgun.  Well, perhaps a pistol with a single bullet each, in case they wanted to do the honorable thing.

Is your question, sir, not phrased in the style of Keith Olbermann?
