1. Jesus H Christ

I never expected Fuddgate to cause such a stir. Our media is just plain weird

[LizW]

5. Isn't it weird?

Torture, rendition, secret prisons, spying on Americans in violation of the Constitution -- But THIS is what sets the media off?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

7. Heh... remember Clinton's haircut? n/t

[Cassandra]

26. More people have expertise with hunting...

than torture. It's just a more down to earth story and the media think they can talk about it safely. The delay in reporting and the fact that the guy spent two days in IC make the whole thing fishy.
Did you hear the Ohio "Democrat" who was "praying for our President and Vice President"? You really have to wonder.
Thank you to whomever for my heart (I didn't want to start another thread about it).

2. "now Cheney can claim combat experience"

"2300 American kids murdered by this administration"

[Clark2008]

3. That call was a hoot.

Another good call, "Republicans are above the law. He was probably drunk."

:rofl:

[w8liftinglady]

6. I think DUer's are on the phone early today !

[w8liftinglady]

4. "Was Cheney drinking all day?"

republicans are above the law
why were police turned away

[LizW]

8. Holy crap - reading an article now criticizing the press for getting irate

Hinting that the press wants Mr. Whittington to die so it will be a bigger story.

:eyes:

[w8liftinglady]

9. LOL..the post front page is funny

[w8liftinglady]

10. Both sides seem concerned with the cover-up-not the event

[LizW]

11. "I T'awt I taw a Democwat!"

Those Cheney jokes were funny!

[LizW]

12. Freepers are desperately trying to plug the Al Gore story n/t

[w8liftinglady]

13. Freepers concerned about Gore's comment in Saudi Arabia

maybe you should ask bush about aid and comfort to the enemy when it comes to the saudis

[The Backlash Cometh]

25. That's so funny. Bush and the Saudi princes practically french kiss

on t.v. when they see each other and the freepers have no problem with that.

[w8liftinglady]

14. everyone thinks Cheney had been drinking

people really are pissed about Cheney's preferential treatment

[w8liftinglady]

16. "what's the point of Cheney holding a press conference?"

more smoke and mirrors

[0007]

23. Oh man, a press conference would be too sweet.

[LizW]

17. Seriously! They have screwed this up, big time.

Now it doesn't even matter that the police report says no alcohol, everyone is assuming that the delay was to let Cheney sober up.

[Jeanette in FL]

21. Exactly,

If this happened on our property, there would be no way that you would be able to send out your spokesperson that you will talk when you are good and ready.

They would want to speak to you and all who were there. They would want to see if there was any alcohol involved. They would want to know the relationship between the two. They would be speaking and taking statements from all who witnessed the event.

Just goes to show there are different laws for who you are.

[LizW]

15. Is it common to hunt and drink?

Because that's what people are definitely thinking was the cause of the delay. What a screw up. They should have come on out with the story and it wouldn't have been so bad.

[w8liftinglady]

18. no kidding-assumed guilt due to silence

[JHB]

24. Yes, but....

...for all the hunters I know, the drinking comes after they get in from the field, secure their gear, ensure everything's been unloaded, and they've gone wherever they're going to park their butts for the next few hours. (and depending on the time of day, it may be more likely that the drink is coffee rather than beer)

There is, however, what they refer to as "the drunken idiots"...

[w8liftinglady]

19. Time to wake the kids up-y'all have fun

[LizW]

22. Heh -- me, too, w8liftinglady. See ya later!

[Skidmore]

20. I hope the Lord forgives that woman for her lies.
