The Kind of War Cheney Likes

I fear for my family in western PA---Dick Cheney was cruising down Rt. 30 in a humvee, toting a gun. It's his "hunting" trip to Ligonier. (Note to CNN anchor: it's not "Ligon-e-a" like it's in France or something. It's Ligineer, jagoff.) But of course it's no ordinary hunting trip. The party included the exec vp of the National Rifle Association, big GOP moneybags Tom Hicks (of Hicks Holdings in Texas) who owns the Texas Rangers (Smirk's old team) and now Latrobe Steel (not far from the Rolling Rock Club where the party was held), a GOP finance chair, a banker, and a representative of of rabid right media, as well as the chairman of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.

And as usual, the term "hunt" was grossly insulted. It was a fast-paced slaughter of farm-raised birds. In a few minutes, this brave group will kill 500 birds released in front of them, clipped so they're unable to fly very far. More details if you have the stomach at the excellent Pittsburgh blog, 2 Political Junkies.
