Alan Simpson: "He probably put his head on Lynne's shoulder and cried"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

CHRIS WALLACE: Now, your friend is not a touchy-feely guy who generally lets people feel his emotions. But I've got to tell you, Senator, I was struck by how pained he seems to have been by this incident.

FORMER SEN. ALAN SIMPSON, R-Wyo.: Well, I haven't talked to him, because the first few days of it, I was in Ohio, and they were calling me, and I had the sense that they were saying have you talked to Cheney, and if you did, what did he say you should say -- in other words, a sinister approach to put a spin on it.

I haven't talked with him. As soon as this is over, I will have done all these, and I'm going to call him. But let me tell you, he probably went home that day when he got back to Lynne and probably put his head down on her shoulder and cried, because this guy -- think of how you would feel if you pulled up any kind of a gun and a human being was in front of it and he dropped. And then you went over to see him and he didn't say anything.

I always say in this line of work, how would you feel if this were happening to you -- not you, Chris, I mean, but there is a human element here that got lost in the perfect storm of people who don't like Cheney. They don't like hunting. They don't like guns. They don't like people who kill birds and eat them. I mean, good grief.

1. LOL! That's almost as funny as Shit Fume asking him if he hit the quail.

Gawd these people are pathetic.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. Alan Simpson ...... Cheney with a smile

Other than the smile .... not a whit of difference.

[Bozita]

perfect, ... absolutely perfect!

Perhaps Lynne performed the castration with a Swiss Army Knife.

[rwheeler31]

3. Ask a person in a combat zone..

[buddysmellgood]

4. But let's smear that Cindy Sheehan! Let's get her good! She's got no

reason to be upset, no reason to cry. :sarcasm:
What a bunch of horseshit. Simpson expects us to feel sorry for CHENEY?

[Edgewater_Joe]

"... cried about running out of Crown Royal."

What else would he cry about, after all?

[Jim Sagle]

5. In reality he laughed his ass off and had hisself another beer.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

7. Well, we know that Cheney laughed at Scott McClellan in the crosshairs:

6. I'm sure he ate those 70 or so farm-raised pheasants that he

previously killed. I'm sure he took the ones that he couldn't wolf down that day home to Lynne so she could put them in the freezer for a nice, cozy meal at a later date.

[Bozita]

9. iirc, those BB-filled pheasants were "donated" to a soup kitchen

These folks are always concerned with the less fortunate.

That's why some refer to them as "Godly men."

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. I believe he dissected them, piece by piece, with a dull penknife.

[rooboy]

8. How would it feel to know you told a senator to go fuck himself?

Yeah, Dick's all love and cuddles. :sarcasm:

[Sparkly]

10. Simpson is a snake.

He even LOOKS like a snake. And he made it clear back when Al Gore was running -- he was hissing and spitting the nastiest venom about how much he hated Gore from back in his Senate days...

A nasty, venemous snake.

[punpirate]

11. Yep, Chris, let's go get the opinion of...

... someone who's very nearly as loony as Cheney and then give him every opportunity to be as subtle as a wet fart in a crowded elevator.

[otohara]

12. Evil Doesn't Cry

how absurd

[norml]

13. Simpson meant "He probably put his head on Pamela's shoulder and cried"

[f-bush]

14. Cried? Too bad it wasn't died!!!!

[Garbo 2004]

15. ...and then Lynn slapped the shit out of him.

What a load of crap.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. "think of how you would feel if you pulled up a gun and a human being

...was in front of it"

Uh, Alan, that kind of thing happens every day in the bullshit WAR OF CHOICE Cheney help goad our nation into.

[Rageneau]

17. He proabably went out and killed something to cheer himself up.

Nothing like playing God to perk up a sociopath.

[truthisfreedom]

18. Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford

Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford Pamela Pitzer Willeford



never forget. he was sleeping around.

[0007]

19. Allen Simpson defies simple logic and adds a layer of bullshit

that would make a robot throw up.

[DoYouEverWonder]

20. How could he put his head on Lynne's shoulder

if she wasn't even there?

Try again Alan.

[chieftain]

21. Putting the puke in repukes is a Simpson specialty. The more

likely scenario is Lynne chasing Dottering Dick around the VP Residence screaming about him hanging out with Willeford (sp?).

[gratuitous]

22. Don't miss Wallace's softball question

"I was struck by how pained {Cheney} seem to have been by this incident."

No, Mr. Wallace, Cheney wasn't pained by the incident. He was pained by being forced out of his bunker to explain himself. Talk about "setting the bar": Start a war of aggression? No explanation. Vote yourself thousands of dollars in tax breaks? No explanation. Jigger the energy markets for your own benefit and the benefit of your corporate cronies while screwing millions of people? No explanation. Shoot a man in the face with a shotgun? Okay, four fucking days later, come out and do a taped segment with a friendly interviewer. That's what pained Dick: Having to explain his actions to the rabble.

[DemoTex]

24. Simple, simple Simpson.

It must be the Wyoming water. Or maybe it's what they mix with the water. These guys are nuts.

[ninkasi]

25. It's hard for me to imagine

Cheney feeling anything like remorse for anything unless it means a reduction in his bank account, or a lessening of his power. This, after all, is the guy who tried to strong-arm Congress into making torture legal. The man is a sociopath, and is incapable of normal human emotions.

[Virginia Dare]

26. That's a "10" on the barfo-o-meter...eom.

[daleo]

27. He went back home and said to Lynne Cheney

"That bastard better apologize to us, for the Hell we are going through."

She replied "Don't worry, I put the word out. He knows. You'll have a public apology within the week."
