Single What? Female...

yesterday was a day of love...

And the White House just ain't gettin' any, and while I'm all for spreading the love, getting out my red clothes and heart accesories and chocolate, this administration was not getting a big smooch from me...and rightly so...

But boy are they making me laugh...and cringe...

You gotta love how Dick Cheney, after shooting a man in the face and taking 3 days to apologize for it, is going to only ONE station for his public station...No widely televised press conference to talk about his drunken potenitally fatal blunder for this guy...oh no, he's going on FOX NEWS at 2p today for an interview. He's going to his safe place. They won't pick on him there. They'll be nice to him at Fox and won't ask him a lot of silly questions (like how much had you been drinking and did you really think Harry Whittington was a quail when ya shot him?).

Though, when you got Marlin Fitzwater of all people saying that this wasn't handled well...can you really feel safe anywhere there, Dick?

The press and comedians have had a field day with this, though this transcript from last night's Daily Show has to be my favorite thus far...

Jon Stewart: "I'm joined now by our own vice-presidential firearms mishap analyst, Rob Corddry. Rob, obviously a very unfortunate situation. How is the vice president handling it?

Rob Corddry: "Jon, tonight the vice president is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Wittington. According to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush.

"And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. He believes the world is a better place for his spreading buckshot throughout the entire region of Mr. Whittington's face."

Jon Stewart: "But why, Rob? If he had known Mr. Whittington was not a bird, why would he still have shot him?"

Rob Corddry: "Jon, in a post-9-11 world, the American people expect their leaders to be decisive. To not have shot his friend in the face would have sent a message to the quail that America is weak."

Jon Stewart: "That's horrible."

Rob Corddry: "Look, the mere fact that we're even talking about how the vice president drives up with his rich friends in cars to shoot farm-raised wingless quail-tards is letting the quail know 'how' we're hunting them. I'm sure right now those birds are laughing at us in that little 'covey' of theirs.

Jon Stewart: "I'm not sure birds can laugh, Rob."

Rob Corddry: "Well, whatever it is they do … coo .. they're cooing at us right now, Jon, because here we are talking openly about our plans to hunt them. Jig is up. Quails one, America zero.

Jon Stewart: "Okay, well, on a purely human level, is the vice president at least sorry?"

Rob Corddry: "Jon, what difference does it make? The bullets are already in this man's face. Let's move forward across party lines as a people … to get him some sort of mask."

we can thank my friend Doug for passing that on to me.

Apparently Jill Sobule, has had ample time while we wait for Cheney to say something to write a song about the two ardent hunters....

Okay, so we got Cheney being busted by Scooter Libby as the guy who authorized the leak, we've got budget that even the Republicans are complaining about, we got the scathing REPUBLICAN Katrina Report leaving Michael Chertoff to fend for himself during hearings, at least pne photo of Jack Abramoff at the White House released AND a statement from Abramoff saying "Bush has the best memory of any guy I know...we joke about our kids..." etc, the congressional finance scandal, Iraq issues including a story on the war profiteering on 60 minutes this past Sunday, and Cheney shooting a guy in the face (AND that guy got a heart attack due to the pellets being close to his heart)...

Do you THINK this might FINALLY be enough to crumble the serious RedStaters now?

One can only hope...

So KEEP E-MAILING!!! And make sure that they all know what a dealers with Satan they put into office and let your congressfolk, the press and your friends and family know that YOU are PAYING ATTENTION!

Peace --Alex
