Apparently, ol' "Buckshot Cheney" deserves SYMPATHY!!!

[Vektor]

Can you believe this shit?

snip

"The shooting has aroused SYMPATHY FOR CHENEY in South Texas, where many locals hunt and accept that there is always the risk of an accident. "If it happens every once in a while, we're not alarmed by it," Carlos Valdez, the local district attorney, said of nonfatal accidental shootings.

(I have sympathy for the hand raised birds that were slaughtered for fun, but Cheney can kiss my ass.)

snip

"You can't name a sport where accidents don't happen," said Leroy Sisco, chief executive of the TEXAS TROPHY HUNTERS ASSOCIATION, :puke: who said he had been inadvertently sprayed by birdshot several times. "Everybody who hunts understands. It's just an accident and, thank God, it's not a serious accident."

In the same article:

"The medical team that travels with Cheney immediately began ministering to Whittington, who was bleeding profusely from wounds to his face, neck and chest, witnesses said."

snip

Not serious?

Sympathy for Buckshot Cheney, indeed. That truly would be "Sympathy for The Devil."

Cheney and all his greedy psychopathic game hunter buddies deserve to be "released" unarmed into a field and "sport hunted" to see how it feels.

Then we can really let the games begin!

More ludicrousness here:

An utterly vomitous spin-filled laughable read.

1. This was a canned hunt involving elite, pampered whiskey-drunks.

Now they are just pick-up truck-driving good-old boys on an average outing, huh?

No dice, no sympathy.

[Vektor]

3. Yep...

No sympathy from me.

I predict Cheney and his canned hunting ilk have a karmic, Hitchcock-esque "The Birds" type eye-pecking demise coming their way! :-)

6. Exactly Dr.- Katharine Armstrong *IS* the Bush constituency

OLD ... BIG Texas money.

A 50,000 square acre ranch family owned since the 1880's. These are the people Eisenhower mentioned in his famous letter to his brother.

President Dwight Eisenhower, Republican, uttered these words on November 8, 1954:

"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

7. Ike was wrong about them being "negligible," too bad for us. n/t

2. "Thank God it's not a serious accident."

The victim has a heart attack this morning, AFAIC due to complications arising from the shooting, and this guy says it's not serious? He doesn't even wait a week to learn the eventual outcome.

:wtf:

[Arugula Latte]

4. bleeding profusely = not serious in their world.

:wtf:

5. Right...

Ya know what's funny? I have always said "Bush or Cheney could outright shoot a person in the face, and the 'Base' and the right-wing media would find a way to gloss it over, and spin it so that they would totally get away with it."

My prediction is turning out to be chillingly accurate.

8. Sympathy just like Ted Kennedy got

after his accident that resulted in the death of someone. The Repugs have never let that one go.

If Whittingham dies then this is karmic justice IMHO. What goes around comes around.

9. Precisely!

The ol' Republican double standard at work!

[VaYallaDawg]

11. You are so right on, Mz Pip.

Cheney's own little Chappaquiddick. And ol' Snarly deserves every bit of the s**t that gets thrown at him for this.

13. Whittington might already be dead. This thing smells worse

than a dead fish.

10. Did you see this thread?

Dick Cheney SHOOTS SOMEONE IN THE FACE, and CNN mocks JOHN KERRY.

:grr: WHORES!
