TV joke writers take shots at Cheney

Some of these are hilarious. Here's a few:

"Late Show with David Letterman," CBS

"Good news, ladies and gentlemen, we have finally located weapons of mass destruction: It's Dick Cheney."

"We can't get Bin Laden, but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney."

"The guy who got gunned down, he is a Republican lawyer and a big Republican donor and fortunately the buck shot was deflected by wads of laundered cash. So he's fine. He took a little in the wallet."


"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," NBC

"I think Cheney is starting to lose it. After he shot the guy he screamed, 'Anyone else want to call domestic wire tapping illegal?' "


"Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson," CBS

"You can understand why this lawyer fellow let his guard down, because if you're out hunting with a politician, you think, 'If I'm going to get it, it's going to be in the back.'

Do you think the late night comedians were too tough on Vice President Cheney?

Yes

No

"Yes" is somewhere around 11% right now.

Funny how they include the word "hard on" in that poll question, of course triggering memories of how the late night talks shows treated Clinton.
