Thanks to Josh Marshall for capturing this gem of a snapshot. Here for all the world to see is one media story about the White House decision "that the best way to deal with Vice President Dick Cheney's shooting accident is to joke about it."
And here on the same page is the other story about the Great White Hunter's 78 year-old victim having a heart attack. 'Cause a "shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart," and doctors sure hope that other pellets don't travel to other organs. Gee, the Bushies said it was a minor injury, it was so minor they let a private citizen announce it belatedly, but the clueless doctors had the 78 year-old man in an intensive care unit for days. Who you gonna believe?
Why does this remind me of the time Bushie told the FEMA chief, 'You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie,' while all the world watched thousands of Katrina victims beg for food and water?
As we, on the left, keep telling Bubble Boy and his Bubblettes, there is indeed such a thing as reality. Goddess only knows how much disaster it will take to burst the destructive rightwing bubble of delusion. Or, God only knows what it will take to make these lying fools tell the truth.
As other bloggers have noted, this story is a perfect illustration of the SOP of the Miserable Failure Adminstration on so many levels. The VP of Torture was aiming for a quail, but took down his hunting buddy. The Bushies were aiming for Osama bin Laden, but took down Iraq. FEMA sent trucks of water to New Orleans but they ended up in New England. Terri Schiavo was only waiting for Dr. Frist to wake her from a trance, but the autopsy said otherwise. Terrorists, not patriotic Iraqis outraged over the imperialist occupation of their country, are fighting us in Iraq. You're doing a heckuva job, Brownie. We do not torture! They hate us for our freedom!
I could go on to the point of ad nauseam.
The moral of the story is that as long as the Bubble Boy and his Bubblettes are in power, none of us are safe, not even old rich white Republican men.
Meanwhile, like a little boy hidin' from his mama, the Vice President of the United States refuses to come forward and explain himself.
