| But all these speculative reasons are kind of beating around the Bush, as it were, without taking real aim at the real issues. It may not be about Cheney or Bush themselves, but on behalf of a greater good. Cheney, like most thinking people (and most agree that he, unlike his "boss," may indeed be a thinking person, even if the thoughts he thinking are always evil ones), must have winced when Bush told an audience of combat troops that "I have an injury too." Even the Darth Vader of the administration can't think it's in good taste to compare a scratch from clearing brush to poor kids being sent to fight his war getting their limbs blown off in Iraq. Maybe, just maybe-""but you'd never hear the liberal press say it!-""maybe ol' Duck! was just trying to lend a little more seriousness to the injuries of an elite who is as quick to send others' kids to die as they are to eschew military service themselves. You want risk? You want danger? You want authentic? How about getting shot in the face! Take that, Fiddy Cent! Of course, it might ring truer if Cheney had shot himself in the face now that's legit! And no body armor! Take that, Tom Tolles! |
