<p>Do you mean “Bush” or “Busch” ?</p>
<p>I have heard some women say keep Bush outta my Bush but that was about right to choose I do believe…hehehe</p>
<p>Cheney: “And it was, I’d have to say, one of the worst days of my life, at that moment.”</p>
<p>I’d like to nominate these for even worse days for Cheney, seeing as how they contributed to the deaths of 2274 American men and women, including four more dead this week, ages 23, 25, 26, 26.</p>
<p>–August 26, 2002 “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.” </p>
<p>–March 16, 2003 “We know he’s been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.”</p>
<p>Maineparent, re: post #56, thank you for referring me to Jon Stewart! I have been watching since your “referral,” in lieu of the 11 o’clock news. I called my DH away from brushing his teeth the first night to come watch, and we haven’t laughed so hard since some of that good 1970’s SNL!</p>
<p>“Officer, I was in an accident, yeh, I hit a car, no, you can talk to me tomorrow, and of course no alcohol was involved…really, you just have to believe me, trust meeeeee…”</p>
<p>I wish the secret service would do a tell all book when these guys are out of office</p>
<p>Momof3sons,
thanks for the update on your new “habit”… there just is a level of sarcastic humor that I think I mastered in college, with my good friends of course, that I totally identify with on The Daily Show… humor doesn’t have to be gross, dirty, mean, etc etc… in fact, I often can’t stand Leno because he is so crude … but, Stewart just uses their own words, actions. etc against them… he just couldn’t make it up… so, very glad you are enjoying it…makes us grin here on the east coast. Along with Seth Wescott winning gold today in SnowBoarder Cross… he is part owner of a restaurant at our ski mountain so we are psyched… now, there are 2 Mainers that have won gold for inagural events at the Olympics…Joanie Benoit in the marathon and Seth in Bordercross…think the state needs a new motto,
“Been there, done that”… have to go turn on my tv to watch my boyfriend, Jon!!</p>
<p>

<p>From the Smoking Gun, the sheriff’s report on the accident:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><a href=“The Smoking Gun: Public Documents, Mug Shots”>The Smoking Gun: Public Documents, Mug Shots;
<p>So someone spoke to eyewitnesses immediately after the shooting after all. Looks like it was the Sheriff who decided that he didn’t need to talk to anyone until the next day, not Cheney. Well, unless you think the Sheriff’s committing a felony by filing a false report.</p>
<p>Sorry to burst the bubble on such a fine conspiracy theory (not that I believe the facts would really intrude on what some people want to believe, fo course).</p>
<p>BTW, that guy’s name really is Captain Kirk. Bet he doesn’t have much of sense of humor about it, what do you think?</p>
<p>momof3sons and Maineparent:
I love John Stewart. I laughed so hard at his Cheney show that I almost died. Also like Colbert Report.</p>
<p>If you get the Stephanie Miller show on any of your radio stations (Air America?) check it out. It is absolutely hilarious. Look for a station at:
<a href=“http://www.stephaniemiller.com/[/url]”>http://www.stephaniemiller.com/</a> </p>
<p>“Driver” would like to paint the Dems as a bunch of depressed sourpusses - well, in the media anyway, they are the funniest by far!</p>
<p>Maineparent–don’t want to make you jealous, but I was at a taping of the Daily Show two weeks ago! Even more appealing in real life!</p>
<p>That and Colbert are the only shows I watch anymore (I catch it at 8 the next evening–can’t make 11 anymore.)</p>
<p>I nominate for most insensitive lines of all time these two:</p>
<p>Cheney: “It was the worst day of my life.” </p>
<p>And</p>
<p>Michael Brown: “I felt abandoned.”</p>
<p>garland:
How did you get tickets to Daily show? Where is it filmed?</p>
<p>A friend who grew up in a rural area with lots of hunters in the family theorized that Cheney et al. didn’t publicize the incident for 14 hours because they needed to get their blood alcohol level lowered. But I thought drinking and guns would be like drinking and driving–you don’t dare mix the two. My friend said drinking is often part of the hunting experience.</p>
<p>Cheney admitted to having “a beer” at lunch. So I thought, “well, ok, it was out of his system by late afternoon–no prob.” But then I really got to wondering when, in Whittington’s statement last night, he said “there was no drinking going on during the hunt.” ‘During’…but not before? or during the day? So is there more to this?</p>
<p>Did any of you see some of the gag images related to this? I got some that nearly had me falling out of my chair, including a priceless knock-off of the poster from a famous movie - featuring a stark black and white rendering of Cheney’s head, with his right hand holding a pistol - the business end resting on the red bandana on his forehead, and the caption “The Quail Hunter” (starring Robert De Niro and Dick Cheney).</p>
<p>But now, let’s get on with the people’s business…</p>
<p>I love the Daily Show, but hardly ever have time to watch it. There are video clips on their website, and crooksandliars.com often puts up particularly good pieces. One of my favorites is Samantha Bee’s explanation of the “Plame Game”. They showed the telephone song from Bye Bye Birdie with altered lyrics: “Hello, Mr. President, this is Matthew Cooper, can I speak to Karl Rove? …”</p>
<p><a href=“Page not found | Crooks and Liars”>Page not found | Crooks and Liars;
<p>Okay okay okay, its like okay, no more thoughts,
but if Cheney is medicated for all his various physical ailments, how would those drugs affect him if he is drinking</p>
<p>and the cover up cocktail, later…</p>
<p>Weenie, there’s a way to send away for tickets on the website, I think. My sister actually got them. They’re free, but you can’t pick the date. They film in NYC; I forget the address, but it’s on, I think 11th AVe. over in the 50’s.</p>
<p>Thanks garland. I want to go!!!</p>
<p>It’s big fun! It was actually the second time my D went. The first time, she won the guest lottery–it was Bill O’Reilly! The time I went, the guest was Anthony Hopkins; neat, but not as much fun.</p>
<p>AAHAHAhaha. Hunters deserve to DIE.</p>
<p>On the road yesterday…and major power outage last nite… so I am a bit tardy in replying…
Garland,
I am soooo jealous… how excellent you got to go to a taping… years ago we went to a taping of one of the talk shows in Florida… it was a blast…<br>
I am not surprised that there are others here who love the sense of humor from Colbert and Jon Boy!! Sinner’s Alley is full of great rifts… I still think there is another shoe to drop on Cheney…I too wondered about alcohol and medication…heck, 1 glass of wine and an allergy pill does me in these days…but, I think the other shoe to drop will be Pamela Williford’s…the Swiss Ambassador… who is also Laura Bush’s best friend… is there anyone else out there who sees a lot of familiarity with this Administration and British royalty? of which George is descended? Large remote estates/ranches…hunting… dinner parties…married couples with “special” friends… to me, this Dick Cheney and Pamela Williford thing could be just like Camilla and Charles… it just has such an aristocratic feel to it… not very American and all men are equal stuff… honestly I don’t begrudge anyone their wealth…but I definitely hate hypocrisy…supposedly “everyone” knows that Karl Rove is involved with this woman, Karen Johnson, who is not married, but Karl is… no one will write about it cause Karl will end their career immediately… I just despise the “holier” than thou approach when they are all misbehaving. The truth is these guys cannot hide from who they are…they have been so successful for the wrong reasons…and they believe their own spin… just sad that we don’t seem to be able to counter with a leader who can challenge effectively… makes me worried that to actually survive and thrive in the political space one has to be inherently shady? so to come full circle, perhaps we nominate Jon Stewart for President? LOL…</p>
<p>This piece reminded me of being a conservative CC contributor.
