The Dick Cheney hunting accident has made numerous headlines, and given birth to many jokes. The incident was lampooned by just about every American late night show, such as The Daily Show, The Late Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Tonight Show. For those who didn’t catch these jokes, here’s an archive of them. It has become such a big issue that I just had to take my shot at it (Sorry, couldn’t resist).

Those whiny Liberals are using this to attack the Bush administration yet again, because everyone knows that recreational hunting has a great deal to do with politics. I know it’s fun to see the old bastard squirm and all, but really, is it right to make light of such an unfortunate incident? Shouldn’t we consider Cheney’s feelings? What if we we’re in his shoes and nearly took the life of one of our closest friends? Nah! I mean c’mon, the guy ain’t dead. He’s fine.

People are also concerned as to why the news was released 20 hours after the incident, and by people I mean big newspapers like The New York Times and The Washington Post. We’ll, excuse Mr. Cheney for being more concerned about his friend’s well-being than for providing the cover page story for newspapers nationwide. To his credit, Cheney showed true calibre (Ok, that’s the last one, I swear!) when he spoke on the incident with Fox News’ Brit Hume. The interview almost made him seem human, almost. He said that “It was something I will never forget” and that “It was one of the worst days of my life.” Well, one thing’s for sure, when bird hunting with Cheney, it’s better to be a bird than his hunting partner.
