Shot a Man in Reno, Just to...

I suppose we all remember where we were when we heard that Dick Cheney had been part of a hunting accident and (ominous pause) that there was a 24-hour time lag in the reporting of the thing. With a story of such earthshaking importance, it's no wonder the White House was being grilled relentlessly today. Those reporters smell Pulitzer, dammit! Nothing matters but getting the story!
Monday, obviously, was a slow news day. But still, as every TV news report will observe, questions remain... (Is there any human event or endeavor where questions, in some form, don't remain?)

It's been a long day but here's a shot, so to speak, at some basic jokes on this. Use them, rewrite them, tell your friends:

Vice President Dick Cheney accidently shot a man while hunting. Then after the shooting, he announced that his new rap CD would be a tribute to Biggie and Tupac....

The White House is a bit embarrassed by the Cheney shooting. Even worse is the aftermath, when Cheney staffers rushed to the field to put up a "Mission Accomplished" banner...

Vice President Dick Cheney accidently shot a man while hunting. Reportedly, the shotgun had a lot of kickback. Which is why, right after the shooting, Jack Abramoff showed up and demanded his percentage.

That's it. And if you listen to commercial radio, please prepare to hear everyone across the nation play a parody version that takes off on Aerosmith's Janie's Got a Gun.
