Best Cheney line so far

The best Cheney line I saw last night was on The Daily Show. Rob Cordory. After saying repeatedly, maybe twenty times with increasing hilarity, "the vice president shot a man in the face," came this great zinger.

"Well, hindsight is 20/20. Unfortunately, so was the shotgun. John"

Runner-up: Letterman.

"We can't get Bin Laden," David Letterman said on CBS, "but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney."

  • Yeah, I thought that was pretty good as well. Especially when matched with the repeated "shot him in the face." The words "peppered" and "sprayed" wre so minimizing.

  • Yeah, Josh has been pretty good on this one. I think the doubts on the public story are spreading with time. I'll be really curious how the "minor heart attack" changes the coverage because it was okay to be a little irreverent when his tsatus was "peppered" as you pointed out earlier, but to get a pellet into the heart means it had to be a pretty serious shot, and definitely not the 30 yards away as was first presented.
