According to Ian “Everyone Who Disagrees With Me Is A Librul” Schwartz and a bunch of other right-wingers, the fact that the Vice President shot someone and didn’t tell the press isn’t news, and to report so is liberal bias.
But the upside is - this has got to be the first time in history a press secretary has been asked: “When did the president know the vice president had shot someone?”
Um....They act like this was going to be a cover-up or something. Unlike Kerry *ahem*...there wasn’t an entourage of press people along for the shoot.
LEAKERS!!!!
But it looks like Ollies first commenter dials it in:
‘Nuther mountain out out a pile of birdshot in the face. At least the guy was a Rupublican, so he knows it was OK for Cheney to shoot him. A wussy librul might have complained about it.
You don’t have to go there...that’s all there is.

wonder why?
“We’re facing a growing global crisis that has the potential to escalate beyond the control of governments and other authorities,” Anders Fogh Rasmussen [Denmark’s prime minister] said
The front page of the weekly magazine [Charlie-Hebdo] carried a new drawing of Muhammad. He is burying his face in his hands and saying: “It’s hard to be loved by fools”.
[“It is hard to be loved by fools...”]
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice “Iran and Syria have gone out of their way to inflame sentiments and to use this to their own purposes. And the world ought to call them on it.”

If Saddam can stall his execution until after his 70th birthday on April 28, 2007, he can’t be put to death without a change in Iraqi law.

A prominent Iranian newspaper opened a competition Monday seeking cartoons about the Holocaust in what it called a test of whether the West would be as supportive of freedom of expression over Nazi genocide as it was with caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.
Hamshahri, one of Iran’s top five newspapers, published the international call for cartoons in English and Farsi under the title: “What is the Limit of Western Freedom of Expression?” on its Web site. The announcement also appeared on page 31 of the print version of the paper.
“We don’t intend retaliation over the drawings of the prophet. We just want to show that freedom is restricted in the West,” said Davood Kazemi, who has been cartoon editor at the paper since 1992 and is executive manager of the contest.
Kazemi noted that the Iranian paper would not accept any “insulting” cartoons. He did not elaborate.
So I had to do it.
(Arabs) ...indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable.”
“Dresden,” which premiered at the European Film Market at the Berlin Film Festival, quickly reopened old wounds about what many Germans privately call a war crime - and even act of terror.
A film portraying Germans as victims would have been unthinkable even a decade ago in a country weaned on guilt for its war, but public broadcaster ZDF made the three-hour film to stir a debate - and maybe find overseas buyers.“It’s fine with us if it sparks controversy,” said Guenther van Endert, a ZDF film editor and co-producer of the most expensive television film (10 million euros) in German history, after a special press screening on Monday.
“We have tried to carefully show both sides,” he added, noting British and German historians served as advisers. “It was an extremely delicate task. Controversy will be the by-product but it’s not its main aim. We wanted to make a balanced story.”
I bet this will be very pop-pop-popular in Iran.

The intelligence committees of Congress should demand to know, in secret session, what the administration is doing, said Biden, D-Del. He said he supports a proposal by the committee chairman, GOP Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, to have the FISA court review the eavesdropping program and decide whether it is legal.
“We cannot say to a president, ‘Mr. President, whatever you want to do, under any circumstances, tap anything, and you don’t even have to tell us what you’re doing.’ That is bizarre,” Biden told ABC’s This Week.
...and The Screamer:
I don’t think the vice president has any credibility on national security whatsoever.

.................6. Pig is the most shameless animal
The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the earth. It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives; i.e. many say “you sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife.” If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs. We Indians look upon America to be very advanced and sophisticated. Whatever they do, we follow after a few years. According to an article in Island magazine, this practice of swapping wives has become common in the affluent circles of Bombay.
