Irrelevant, but that's about normal for everything you say. :thumbsdown: :frown: :thumbsdown:

Very relevant. The previous poster asked "how many non VPs would get away with such an act".

Answer: at least 1.

Then again Ted Kennedy is the posterchild of the good ol boy network even more than George W is.

There was no charge and no investigation. There's no required defense.

So after all your dissembling and dancing around trying to side track the issue with bogus straw man BS, it gets down to the OP's original question -- "What happened to doing the right thing?"

If it was your test question for getting into this country, obviously, you'd have failed.

A natural skill that develops with an inferiority complex is the ability, even deep seated need, to deflect attention away from a fault close to home to a fault in some other. This occurs without conscious effort or notice.

Well... from the center you COULD look left and blindly shoot an arrow and be sure to hit some idiot who does not deserve to be in office. Ted Kennedy may be one such person... You COULD look right and have the same result but you choose not to. You accept that the left has evil glorified as good so then no matter what the right does it must be good too because something the right stands for transcends the evil they may use to get there... that makes for some interesting brain waves... You cannot justify what they do on the merits of their activities (imo). Your heart knows the right are wrong and evil so you point to the devil on the left and say .. "see the devil over there on the left..." but you don't ever equate now with now's reality... Now Bush is sending troops into harms way.. do you support that? Do you believe his policies are founded on truth? Are you proud to support him and the party in power? Forget about all the evil elsewhere deal with the obvious evil of the folks in power who ever they are.

That said, if you think Bush's blowjob, or even worse, lying about it, is anywhere near as bad as starting a war based on nothing but lies, or almost any of the rest of the horrible things the Bushwhackos have done in office, then sonny boy, you've got some serious problems understanding relative scales of importance. :roll:

LOL, Harvey frothing at the mouth is so worked up he doesn't even know what he's saying! Take your nitrate..........

These people are showcases for Republican campaigns. Ohnoez, Cheney accidentally shot a guy who forgave him!


He was drunk while hunting.. which is illegal... no one in his party cares... being "forgiven" by a fellow crony doesn't mean much.

How many non VPs would get away with such an act? How many times have you "accidentally" shot a friend in the face? Ok ok.. bad example.. you don't have any friends.

Ted Kennedy got away with drunk driving and murder. Well maybe not murder but he covered up a death just fine.


True. Do you for some reason think that I think this is acceptable? Members of Congress and their corruption/illegal doing are almost, if not just as bad as, the president/vp getting away with it. I only mentioned Cheney specifically because the topic was of the Bush administration.

Actually, the thread title is "doing the right thing". One would think more than 2 people in the world should have to do so.

There was no charge or investigation because Whittington described the incident as an accident, and Cheney was cleared by the county sheriff. There are several hunting accidents in Texas yearly, and none of them were treated any differently.


"This was a hunting accident," said Gilbert San Miguel, chief deputy of the Kenedy County Sheriff's Office. "There was no alcohol or misconduct."

When do you ship off again? Oh yes, only real men put their money where their mouths are and enlist. But cowards like you still delight in seeing others die as long as it is not them. You win the Golden Pussy award for sure.

The right thing? The right thing would consist of all the keyboard cowards signing up and shipping off to the middle east to help support this war with more than just their keystrokes. The only way I would ever care about a one of them is when they come back home in a flag draped coffin. Until then, you keyboard warriors are the biggest pussies ever to crawl the carpet.

The topic summary is :Bush?s war of lies and the OP talks about the Bush administration, not congress. There was no investigation because Secret Service blocked the sheriffs from even interviewing cheney on the day of the accident.. therefore there was no way to investigate his soberity. That is the problem.

Whittington specifically said nobody was drunk. Just because you want to indulge in conspiracy theories doesn't make it so.

And the owner of the ranch said there was alcohol at lunch earlier that day. Too bad the deputies couldn't get on the property until 8am the next morning to talk to Cheney.

Even if there was, that doesn't mean Cheney drank any. Whittington, considering he got shot and all, was there at the hunt.

And that means sh!t. Just because he caught some pellets in the face from his drunken buddy doesn't mean he's going to let his drunken buddy get busted for it.

His story means a lot more than the leftwinged bloggers conspiracy theories who like to spread cock and bull stories.

Cheney went through the same procedure as any other hunting accident in Texas. Not the first time one has happened.

Yeah, he made sure his friend was OK by staying at the ranch and sobering up. Nice of him to visit him in the hospital as they were picking the pellets out of his face.

Sorry, can't take you seriously. Head in the sand defense isn't worthy of response.
