ARMED CHENEY TO GUARD PORTS
February 23, 2006


Shotgun-packing Veep Offers Solution to Port Controversy

Attempting to defuse the controversy over the decision to place the
operation of several key American ports in the hands of a company based in
Dubai, Vice President Dick Cheney said today that he would personally
patrol those ports with a 28-gauge shotgun.

<skip>

"If anyone tries any funny business at one of our nation's ports,
they're going to have to answer to this!" he declared, brandishing his
shotgun for the benefit of reporters.

Moments after Mr. Cheney pulled out the firearm, however, the room
cleared, as skittish reporters ran for their lives.

"I have never been more terrified in my life than when Dick Cheney
whipped out that gun," said NBC's White House correspondent David Gregory.
"I was sure I was a goner."
