Bush jokes about Cheney shooting guy in the face.
While hosting the 2007 Stanley Cup winners at the White House today, President Bush quipped to the Anaheim Ducks: “Like, have you noticed a lot of security around here? It’s because the Vice President heard there were some Ducks around.” In 2006, Cheney shot his 78-year old friend Harry Whittington while hunting. More recently, Bush also joked about Cheney’s secrecy.

February 6th, 2008 at 7:04 pmDid not know that The Anaheim Ducks were pen raised and had their wings clipped for easy killing, learn something new everyday around here.

February 6th, 2008 at 7:04 pmWow — even Bush has fallen victim to the writers strike.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:05 pmGo Wings!
February 6th, 2008 at 7:06 pmharty, har har!
Cheney’s shotgun incident was the first time that I ever heard the victim take responsibility for being shot in the face, exonerating the shooter.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:09 pmThe Alfalfa Club?
February 6th, 2008 at 7:11 pmI can envision Bush with a prominent cowlick, making stupid jokes from the dais, and thinking he is a witty little rascal.
Would someone high stick the fratboy cheerleader over there!
February 6th, 2008 at 7:12 pmAnd a good hard cross check into the wall would’nt be out of place.
How about making jokes about Cheney’s bad ticker and about how he’s just one breath away from a massive coronary and death? Or jokes about how the bomber missed in Afghanistan when he was visiting? Now THAT would be funny.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:13 pmNothing like being honored with a lame joke by a lame duck, about a duck, nine freakin’ months after the fact.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:28 pmNot really sure that the joke was about Cheney shooting a guy in the face.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:37 pmGDumbya neglected to joke about the other part of that shooting incident. He should have said “and Dickie’s been drinking again this morning”.
I am so glad that our long national nightmare will soon be over. GDumbya and Darth Cheney can soon fly off to Paraguay and drink themselves silly every night just so long as I never have to hear their names uttered again . . . until I read their obituaries.
February 6th, 2008 at 7:47 pmGW Botch is so stupid he doesn’t realize that Dick(head) was NOT duck hunting that day!!!
It wasn’t a duck hunt MORON!!! Jeebus!! Botch is STUPID!!!!
February 6th, 2008 at 7:47 pmThe Great White Hunter stalks the wiley prey and . . .
it’s released from its cage and . . .
BLAM BLAM another Texas lawyer!
February 6th, 2008 at 7:51 pmHas a sense of humour anyways. What he probably meant was “we always wanted to waterboard some ducks” so make nice.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:02 pmGuess Cheney should care about more serious aims though
VIENNA (Reuters) - Iran is testing an advanced centrifuge at its Natanz nuclear complex, diplomats said on Wednesday, a move that could lead to Tehran enriching uranium much faster and gaining the means to build atom bombs.

February 6th, 2008 at 8:23 pmYou know you all thought it was funny. Then the automatic Bush hate kicked in.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:32 pmAw, whattaloada Horse shite, VAV.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:37 pmIt’s called “I’m rubbing the Democrats’ faces in the fact that my administration is untouchable, and nothing they comment on makes the slightest difference to me.”
As if Bush ignoring or mocking what Americans think is news to anyone?
February 6th, 2008 at 8:43 pmYou know you all thought it was funny. Then the automatic Bush hate kicked in.

Not true. Some of us just don’t think that situation was very funny. It’s not just Bush who uses it as comedy fodder, the posters here at TP have made many, many jokes about that shooting incident. Personally, I don’t think laughing about a guy getting shot in the face is appropriate no matter who it’s coming from.
February 6th, 2008 at 8:45 pmWOW your so phucking phunny Mr. Resident!
You make me sick!

Says the useless troll trying to garner attention.
Simply judgmental nonsense designed to inflame and distract.
Bumper strip mentality simply doesn’t work here. Unfortunately for you, VAV.
February 6th, 2008 at 9:13 pmThe Vice-President shot somebody in the face! And he’s the most secretive Vice-President in American history! And he likes to engineer secret deals with oil company executives to steer national energy policy! Ha ha ha!
February 6th, 2008 at 9:17 pmThis War Criminal joked about no finding WMD in Iraq!!! “Oops, no WMD here (looking under his podium under the table)!”
February 6th, 2008 at 9:17 pmIf Chimpy ever decides to leave office, he could always embark on a lucrative tour, featuring his standup comedy routines. There are no doubt plenty of toothless, terbacky chewin’, moonshine guzzling, illiterate knuckledraggers in the red states who would pay money for a heapin’ helpin’ of his perverted sense of “humor.”
By that way, anyone hear anything about Whittington? Suppose he is still a staunch Republican? Perhaps he’s tied up in a shack, bound and gagged, never to be heard from again. Any guesses?
February 6th, 2008 at 9:19 pmWhat would one EXPECT from a TREASONOUS azshole like MURDERER Bush the COXUCKER punk TRAITOR to the USA?
February 6th, 2008 at 9:22 pmJoking about serious issues is a good technique to take the pressure out of the issue. It sort of admits that there was a problem (rather than denial) and downplays it to the status of being inconsequential.
It also enlists the audience “in the joke” making them part of the guilt. (If you laugh you can’t seriously confront that issue anymore.)
This technique should be seen for the psychological trick and trap that it really is and treat them accordingly. (By exposing their real intent). Those who miss understanding this effective technique are open to giving BushCo what they want. A free pass based on Bush’s “stupidity” or “callousness.”
These remarks are spoken on purpose with a goal in mind. They are not stupid off the cuff attempts at being funny!
February 6th, 2008 at 9:42 pmI don’t care who you are that’s funny right there.
February 6th, 2008 at 10:13 pmWas the President wearing a “who farted?” t-shirt too? Did he ask anyone to pull his finger?
February 6th, 2008 at 10:17 pmYeah… make jokes while thousands of Iraquis are cold and out of their homes because of the US occupation. Never mind the dead Iraquis either, please, tell us another joke… tell us a War Criminal joke now. A Christimans War Criminal joke!
