With all that's going on in the world -- appalling new photos from Abu Ghraib, a looming nuclear showdown with Iran, Hurricane Katrina victims being evicted from New Orleans hotels while 11,000 mobile homes sit unused in Arkansas -- isn't it time to move on from the tragicomic Cheney shooting incident?

These liberal Democrats can't stand it that Cheney sees them as they really are,.....a$$holes. Liberal Democrats wouldn't know honor and integrity if it bit them on the butt. Its eating them up from the insides that every move they make justifies Cheney's actions.

Ugghhh...I DID have a little vomit come up.

Cheney should step down so Bush can appoint Tom Delay to VP.

Please don't misrepresent the Vice President's views.

He sees them as BIG TIME a$$holes.

"There's Adam Clymer -- major league asshole -- from the New York Times," Bush said.

"Yeah, big time," returned Cheney.
