WASHINGTON (March 12) - President Bush headlined the annual Gridiron Club political press roast Saturday night, but Vice President Dick Cheney was the main target of the humor.

Cheney's well-publicized Texas hunting accident last month, drew ridicule from the press corps and all the speakers, including the president. Bush pointed out that the vice president's full name is Richard B. Cheney.

"B. stands for bulls eye," Bush said to laughter from the hundreds of reporters and officials from the administration and Congress. The press, Bush joked, blew the matter way out of proportion: "Good Lord, you'd thought he shot somebody or something."

Cheney, who sat at the head table, laughed along with most of the jokes.

Bush said that while pundits speculate about whether Cheney or White House political adviser Karl Rove run the government, it's another person who actually pulls the strings. Cheney, Bush said, tells him what to do but Cheney's wife, Lynne, tells the vice president what to do. "Lynne, I think you're doing a heck of a job."

2. You can vote in a poll about whether it's a laughing matter

It was sixty percent no and forty percent yes a few minutes ago. The freepers are gaining since earlier this afternoon.

4. Apparently shooting people has become funny.

But then again, we torture people now so I guess that makes shooting someone peachy keen.

5. Ya know what's going to be funny Bush....

...you being impeached by a Democrat controlled Congress next January, you and Cheney being forcibly removed from office (along with your whole filthy krew), you and your whole filthy krew at a criminal tribunal, and, finally, you going to the stankiest, hell-hole of a prison to meet your new friend, Bubba.

That'll be fucking hilarious.

Do you really think by "they" the poster meant Bush and Cheney? Sushi was talking about the Repukian audience, but I shouldn't have to explain that to you.

16. About As Funny As A Heart Attack, Or Shot Pellets in Your Heart and Liver

I bet it would be even funnier if Whittington had died. :eyes:

So, what happened to Cheney's remorse? What about that thousand yard stare? Guess that cleared up real quick.
