In Cheney's defense...

Filed under: American Idle

whittington.jpg

In a White House photo released exclusively to FOX News, Texas lawyer Harry Whittington, who suffered shrapnel to the face, neck, and upper body after being shot by Vice President Dick Cheney during a quail hunting expedition, is seen at his desk in his law firm. The White House, in an attached press release, cited the 78-year-old campaign contributor's nuanced bird-like appearance (from his mother's side) as a mitigating factor in the vice president's decision to take aim and fire at him from 30 yards away. Doctors are keeping Whittington on a steady diet of corn and water, while watching his condition closely.

... I'm hunting elderly campaign contwibutors!

Vice President Dick Cheney was hunting quail at a friend's South Texas ranch when he shot and wounded Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old attorney from Austin and Bush-Cheney campaign contributor, about 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Whittington, who was hit with birdshot in the face, neck and upper torso, was being moved out of intensive care Monday at a hospital in Corpus Christi, officials at the facility said.

Britney Spears's airbag named Sean

Filed under: American Idle

Britney Spears put down the shine jug and Little Debbies long enough to hoist little Sean onto her lap to show him how she skedaddles from them pitcher-takers. "I was terrified that this time the physically aggressive paparazzi would put both me and my baby in danger. I instinctively took measures to get my baby and me out of harm's way, but the paparazzi continued to stalk us. I love my child and would do anything to protect him." Most lower forms of life indeed rely on instincts to stave off predators. Most rich rock stars have nannies to properly raise their children. Please get one, Brit. [More at The Superficial]

Filed under: Cracker Watch

crackerwatchAmId.jpg

ATLANTA, Georgia -- A 15-year-old boy, whose 37-year-old wife is due to give birth to the couple's baby this month, has run away from a group home, and his wife through her lawyer says she has no idea where he is. Lisa Clark, the child molester/wife, claims she doesn't know where her husband/pimple-faced punk is, but the kid's granny thinks Clark's got him locked in the basement. "I think she's got him hidden out someplace," Judy Hayles told The Associated Press on Thursday. Clark is scheduled to appear on "The Tyra Banks Show" today. What, Springer's not good enough for you?
