Political analogies

Ah, spin. A commenter in this blog thread explains how hypocritical Democrats are to criticize Cheney for ignoring fundamental hunting rules and shooting a man, when Adlai Stevenson shot and killed a girl, and the Democrats nominated him for president twice!

Hey I’m just saying but you have got to admit Cheney wounded someone after he was elected whereas Stevenson was nominated twice after he killed someone.

Good point! It’s absolutely ludicrous to expect any greater degree of wisdom, responsibility, and foresight from Dick Cheney than one would of a 12-year-old boy in 1912!

And I’m sure the very best intelligence Cheney had available to him at the time was that Whittington was a quail.
