<p>What a self-serving cad.</p>

<p>Hi Driver,
I agree. The timing is so bizarre…coming on the heels of Imus and others trying to raise millions for the hospital in Texas for the returning injured American soldiers…what a shame the Cheney’s didn’t choose to underwrite that effort since the VP was the brains behind
“the long war” as Stephen Colbert called it last nite… </p>
<p>they recently bought a big, multi-million dollar home in MD…that is why he was 11 days late to get to the Katrina ravaged area… now this… where is the money coming from? ooops, I forgot…Halliburton!</p>
<p>so should we take this donation as an indication that Boom Boom Big Stick Cheney is going to go 'huntin again???</p>
<p>From what I have read- I doubt any of his buddies would go with him.
It is fairly unusual for hunters to shoot another accidentally in the face- first rule of hunting I thought was “know what you are aiming at”.
It wasn’t a case of the gun accidentally discharging, he just wasn’t paying attention to where he was pointing.
Not many people are gonna be too excited about a partner who is sloppy with a firearm.</p>
<p>considering most of that money was federal money to his company for contracts, big whoop</p>
<p>just trying to by publicity, otherwise why not be more subtle about it</p>
<p>doesn’t he get like that much a YEAR from his investments, some sacrifice</p>
<p>the story I really enjoyed today was Bush using air force one to go vote because his aides forgot to get him an absentee ballot WTH?</p>
<p>Glad he could get first-rate care, and wish he could help extend such care to the 45 million Americans without health insurance.</p>
<p>Its his money after all, you know. Its a PRIVATE DONATION, and he can give it to whoever he pleases.</p>
<p>Well, that was the point in the OP, w1cked. There is nothing–nothing–that anyone in this administration could do that would please these folks except die. I knew exactly the type of posts that would ensue; the Bush Derangement Syndrome crowd never fails to deliver the goods.</p>
<p>The college basketball coach was hunting for grouse in Wisconsin in 1999 when he accidentally shot a friend in the back and upper shoulder from 20 yards.</p>
<p>careful next time you toss in a slab of red meat,…you could lose an arm!</p>
<p>OK then I just became a vegetarian.</p>
<p>Ok you know that wire that connects the keyboard to your computer? What if its a little frayed and there are little silver things poking out? :///</p>
<p>and I lick my fingers or dig in my nose??? what then???</p>
<h1>10. I really do not think, Driver, that you would want to keep score on how many cronies have resigned in disgrace, malfeasance, accused but allowed to resign, or under suspicions in receiving money or favors in this administration. We still got better than 2 years to go in this term.</h1>
<p>
OK, I’ll bite. How many?</p>
<p>wow --tough crowd you people are- I guess you would have been impressed if he gave the money to NPR instead?</p>
<p>Corp of Public Broadcasting, Chairman. Crony, illegals. #1</p>
<p>But songman:
That would have been considered a bribe to get NPR to go easy on Halliburton. Don’t you get it? If he had donated the money to Medecins sans Frontieres, that would have been an attempt to wrest away control of the organization and make sure they didn’t perform abortions, sex-change operations, or distribute condoms. The only thing Dick Cheney could do to please the BDS crowd would be to have a fatal heart attack.</p>
