Hallmark Card... Take II

As you might expect, the late night TV hosts had a field day with the story about Dick Chaney shooting his friend while hunting.  The two best responses I saw today were not done by comedians.

 

"The orange that they're wearing is not because they're concerned that the vice president may be there.  That's why I'm wearing it."

Whitehouse spokesman Scott McClellan while addressing University of Texas Football team members who were all clad in orange (the school colors).

 

And also…

 

The president's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, took a similar jab after slapping an orange sticker on his chest from the Florida Farm Bureau that read, "No Farmers, No Food."

"I'm a little concerned that Dick Cheney is going to walk in," the governor cracked during an appearance in Tampa Monday.

 

I particularly like that both of those statements were being made at about the same time that the guy who was shot was having a mild heart attack as a result of a small piece of bird shot that was lodged near his heart.  Truly tasteful.
