Cheney's Got A Gun

There are far more important stories out there than that of Veep shooting a Republican donor. For example, did Tom and Katie really break up? How did all the medalled pairs teams suffered from major injuries this year? and what does that say about the competition? Is Billy Zane really that hard up that he has to act as an American thug in xenophobic Turkish movies? What are those conversation hearts really made out of? Seriously, there are real pressing issues facing this country.

But still I can't resist. During the 2004 election, the Democrats hammered Cheney on the five deferments he received during the Vietnam War. At the time, it seemed odd that a man who had never seen combat had no qualms about sending our troops into battle. But now, I wonder if it was for the best. Given his shooting abilities and abundant lack of aim. It is unclear that he could have hit any Commies. And God only knows how many of our own troops would have been hit by Cheney (friendly) fire.
