Cheney Supports Gun Control, And BuzzFlash Can Prove It!

Cheney was in Pittsburgh on Saturday, prostrating himself before the annual NRA convention, by claiming that John Kerry was an enemy of the gun guys.

The battery operated Vice-President and architect of the disastrous war in Iraq wanted to assure the assembled members of the "Church of the Holy Gun" that the words gun control were as evil to the ears of himself and his dauphin prince, George W., as the name Osama bin Laden.

The only problem for Mr. Cheney, apparently, is that he is a firm believer in gun control for himself.

Now, how can BuzzFlash make this outrageous claim?

Well, easy. All the NRA gun guys who wanted to hear Mr. Cheney speak about God and Guns and Freedom and the evils of Gun Control had to leave their guns in their hotel rooms and go through metal detectors, among other screening procedures, before they could gain entry to the meeting hall where Cheney addressed them. In short, if you were an NRA member and wanted to hear Cheney, you had to go through gun control. In fact, security screening for Cheney started three hours in advance of his NRA speech.

Awhile back, BuzzFlash interviewed a University of California at Berkeley Linguistics Professor, George Lakoff, who talked about how hardcore Republican men are attracted to the "patriarchal family model," and we inferred that George W. Bush can get away with lying and failure, because that is what is allowed the father in a traditional patriarchal family. Maybe the vernacular way of stating this is, "George W. Bush may be a lying, dumb F***-Up, but Laura still walks two steps behind him, and he's still head of his family and the country, and that's the way it should be for a white male. That's our entitlement." In short, the screwed-up son of privilege has been converted to "the father knows best role model" for the psychologically disenfranchised fraternity of white males.

When Bob Woodward, in his new book, asks Bush how he will feel history will judge him in light of a failed war in Iraq and not finding WMD's, Bush responded, "History, we don’t know. We’ll all be dead."

Well, at least Cheney will still be alive. He's got the Secret Service and gun control to protect him.

down with the NRA and all the lead they leave that pollute.

off to prison for Cheney.

1. normaly I love Buzzflash

but the basic premise of this article was stupid. The idea that the secret service protecting the vice-resident was somehow tantamount to gun control is stupid. This article lends nothing to the debate whatsoever. (and I am for gun control, do not and will not ever own a gun and I freaking hate Dick Cheney).

3. It's not exactly a stretch

to think of a Republican as a gun grabber when you consider all of the gun control they've passed in the last 25 years.
