Lessons Learned
Some lessons we can take away from the bizarre hunting accident wherein our esteemed Vice President blasted one of his hunting mates:
Don't get between Cheney and his objective.
Scooter Libby isn't the only guy to take one for Cheney.
This trigger happy man is a heartbeat away from the nuclear button.
Dick Cheney has no greater love for lawyers than the general public.
Guns don't hurt people, Neocons do.
The Administration has not forgotten how to stonewall the press and manage the news
