DUers--DO You Really Want to See Any More Cheney Hunting Posts???

Poll question: DUers--DO You Really Want to See Any More Cheney Hunting Posts???

I, for one, am sick and tired of them. I came here looking for ideas for my column, and every damn thread is about Cheney's hunting accident.

Enough is enough already.

So, do you really want to see any more Cheney hunting posts, DU?

1. oh, the irony...the sweet sweet irony. (nt)

[txindy]

6. Yep. Everyone should vote, too, and keep this Darth thread at the top.

:rofl: :evilgrin:

When I don't like to see threads, I hit the 'Hide Thread' button. It takes but a moment and works well, no matter how many times it is used.

8. lol--isn't it though? i was just hoping maybe the message would be

received... it's a no win situation, lol.

[Zenlitened]

2. No, I'd like more Cheney polls. That's where the real action's at!

:D

[MnFats]

3. this has been some of the best DU humor I've seen in a long time!

Deadeye Dick rides again!

4. Absolutely. "Cheney's Chappaquiddick" has legs.

[TahitiNut]

Chappaquiddick = 8 hours; Fuddgate = 22 hours.

Compare: one person injured and disoriented delayed reporting vs. a crowd of people completely able to report.

16. and a newspaper that is a member of the AP that knew, but the AP

didn't pick up the story ... or were they told NOT TO COVER IT yet?

[sharp_stick]

5. Absolutely

Anytime one of these repuke scumbags fucks up I like to see it and a lot of it. This has the potential to really rile up ol crashcart and I for one love to see that asshole pissed off.

[displacedtexan]

7. Actually, yes.

I learn at least one new fact in each thread (about the type of "girlie" gun Cheney was using, the fact that 2 men and 2 women -- not married to each other-- made up the whole hunting party, and what experienced hunters know about the distance and shot radius of this particular "accident").

[MADem]

21. And let's not forget the dog that wouldn't retrieve!!!

And the "blame the victim" approach!

And the fact that they were all wearing hunter orange, and STILL Dick blasted the guy!

But my favorite was the FAUX NEWS tagline: CHENEY NOT FIRST VP TO SHOOT SOMEBODY!!!

Well, gee, then, that excuses everything!!!!

[mtnsnake]

9. Defintely! Keep 'em coming!

To hell with taking the high road when it comes to these pukes!

[bigtree]

10. this goes on whenever we have a story of interest. It blows over.

[raysr]

11. Keep swift boating him

more is coming out all the time. My guess is the guy almost died that's why the delay in coverage. 78 year old guy shot in the face with a shotgun? Don't tell me "it was nothing" I'm not buying that one.

[mac56]

14. 78 year old guy, lawyer, with lots of dough and connections.

Damn right, this story ought to stay active.

[Sydnie]

12. Fuddgate IS the story!

this is evidence of a cover up. Pay attention or it will pass you by. As was asked in the Press Conference a few minutes ago, if they can cover this up, what else can they cover up?


Wake up and smell the REAL issue. :hi:

[jimshoes]

13. Yes, for days

weeks even. I find them theraputic and soothing.

[WildEyedLiberal]

15. Yes

They're funny and GD totally needs to lighten up. The ignore thread feature is your friend.

[acmejack]

17. You mean everyone is ignoring me?

That explains everything!

[WildEyedLiberal]

20. Hahahaha

Well you have a heart, so not everyone is ignoring you!

[H2O Man]

18. Yes, definitely.

It is a story that has value in a cultural way. Those who prefer not to read about it can opt to not read about it. But those of us interested in winning elections in '06 know that this story is important in a number of ways.

[meganmonkey]

19. I can't "Hide Thread"s fast enough!

:banghead:

[endarkenment]

22. Let the feeding frenzy begin.

"every damn thread is about Cheney's hunting accident" - perhaps that might tell you something about the resonance of this incident.

[napi21]

23. Yes, because I'm sure we don't know the real story yet!

Even in today's Press Conference with Scotty, it came out that the TX Sheriff was forbidden to interview Cheney. The SS said NO!

I think we need to hear al the crap associated with this story, and it's not going to all come out quicky!
