It rapidly became easier to untangle the true reasons we went into Iraq. But we can sit here debating who precisely shot who in the face but the important thing is that the old guy apologised for all the trouble he caused by getting shot in the face.
See also a great many SDMB threads. We’ve had 'em in every forum. Just do a general keyword search on “Cheney” for the past three months. (BTW, do you have access to a TV channel that carries The Daily Show, even in reruns? If you get the episodes that aired in the days after the shooting, you might find this event treated in even greater depth and insight than it was in The Funny Times. )
Bwhaa… I’d have missed it if you hadn’t, so thanks!
The attractive blonde is the Ambassador to Switzerland or Denmark or [Kurt Russell]Sweden[/Kurt Russell]. Various accounts have Lynn Cheney quite upset at her presence but it obviously also makes for good copy.
Is it just me, or does the length of the Wikipedia entry seem way out of proportion to the significance of the event? I mean the friggin’ thing has almost three times as many words as the entire Teapot Dome Scandal entry. Even worse, it’s got about 300 more words than the Watergate entry for Christ’s sake. Man, what a skewed perspective.
If Wikipedia had been around in 1922 or 1973, those other scandals would have much larger entries. Current events do get more material than historical ones.
