Dick Cheney - Lover Extraordinaire?
Posted by Moonage on 16 Feb 2006 | Tagged as: The Media
RJ Eskow wrote a piece so off-the-wall and full of unfounded insinuations that MSNBC felt compelled to give him a national audience. The basic gist, Dick and Harry weren’t firing JUST their rifles.
The real story is already emerging, if you€™re willing to do a little digging. Cheney and Whittington went hunting with two women (not their wives), there was some drinking, and Whittington wound up shot. Armstrong didn€™t see the incident but claimed she had, Cheney refused to be questioned by the Sheriff until the next morning, and a born-again evangelical physician has been downplaying Whittington€™s injuries since they occurrred.
Neither the press nor law enforcement seems inclined to investigate.
Before the right-wing commenters howl € there€™s documentation for all of these statements. Let€™s take them one by one: In addition to Cheney and Whittington, the hunting party included Katherine Armstrong (who was in the car at the time of the shooting: more on that later). After lots of evasive comments that only referred to a €śthird hunter,€ť we now know her identity: Pamela Willeford, the US Ambassador to Switzerland.
Now, he puts this all together because, this is very simple, excluding all the medical and security detail, there were 2 men and 2 women in the party. Everyone knows what happens when there are 2 men and 2 women in the same field. The fact there were two women available for two men means they were having sex while hunting. Simple logic, huh? Now, Dick has to prove beyond a doubt he was not having sex with Ms. Armstrong or the media will assume that they were.
Only problem I have is that Harry is 78 and apparently was having some heart problems. Although Dick is only about 67 years old, a freakin ambulance follows him everywhere he goes. They’re prepared for his next big one. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of how many this year.
Now, everyone knows what a fun-loving, wild and crazy guy Dick is. However, as much as I can picture him shooting animals, and unfortunately a person every now and then, I just don’t picture him sweet talking the pants off babes who can afford boytoys one-third Cheney’s age with fully functional hearts to boot.
However, if idiots like Eskow want to push this envelope, it’s still a lose-lose proposition for his agenda. The very simple reason being that a lot of people my age, 40-something, would like to think that once we’re eligible for retirement and have had a few strokes and heart attacks, we could still charm the pants off babes that could afford boytoys one-third our age. And, if we felt compelled to shoot someone, they’d just think we were having fun scoring babes..
The running joke is someone being assigned to Dick’s next hunting party. I bet, if offered, Eskow would accept.
