In Defense of Dick

In the VP's defense, the congressional task force on Cheney announced today that rumors of wild ostriches entering the gaming territory were floating around that fateful day. Everybody believed that wild ostriches may have been present. The crack ranch scout, Hans "Bix" Crocket, hadn't successfully sniffed them out within the executive's alloted time window for peace, but the hunt was still wary. Alert. Perhaps, too wary. Too alert. If that doesn't clinch it, this comparison photo, (hat tip to photograher "rigamarole" on the "morgue file") shows how Dick could have easily mistaken Whit for legitimate game, under the unusually unsettling circumstances.

It is a testament to the combat skills acquired by VP Cheney in his years of service in the service of his very important service to serving his nation with service, while he was eligible, in a time of war, that he scored a headshot in only two rounds.

Disprove that, liberal!
