Dick Cheney denies he shot and killed the deer, but what is it doing on his lawn? Wonkette explains.

The NY Daily News has more.

    the deer was prepped for the hunt by having it's legs clipped so it couldn't run too fast.

    In all fairness, Cheney could not have been the shooter. He doesn't have a hunting license.

    I especially loved this post face-shooting exchange:

    But having a private citizen contact the press deviated from the White House practice of sending out e-mails to the media. In an off-camera briefing marked with name-calling and loud give-and-take, McClellan was repeatedly asked about the delay and the curious method of getting the information out.

    "You're totally ducking and weaving here. We don't care if some ranch owner called the local paper," NBC's David Gregory said.

    "David, hold on, the cameras aren't on right now. You can do this later," McClellan shot back.

    A red-faced Gregory returned fire, saying, "Don't accuse me of posing for the cameras. Don't be a jerk to me personally. When I'm asking you a serious question you should give me a serious answer instead of jerking us around."

    Did the deer apologize to Cheney after he got shot? I hear that's standard protocol.

    says the Daily News.  But they also say something else, which I noted in my comment on today's open thread....

    A little more seriously, though.  When one wants to find out how it is that, say, Lindsay Graham has been such a reliable shill for, say, the torture policies of this administration, one need only know he's considered at least as reliable as Scalia.  From the NYDN article:

    Earlier this month, the Veep was hunting with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

    And Lindsay didn't even catch any lead.  Must have been a good little senator this year.

    FWIW, in most states, leaving a game animal out to rot is a violation of the relevant Fish and Game laws.  

    Also, interested readers should check out the comments on Wonkette.  Some are hilariously nasty.

    My theory...the stench of death eminating off of Cheney is starting to affect the nearby wildlife...I bet flowers wilt when he walks past.

    has some funny as hell comments.

    As an aside, usually that strip of land between he sidewalk and the street is owned by the city, so I'd imagine it's the city's responsibility to get rid of the carcass.

    Alhtough, hard to believe Cheney could see that thing every day and not get it disposed of...wonder if he and the Mrs. actually spend much time at that house.

    Is it on the "undisclosed location" list?

    "Lies," dammit, "Lies!"

    The deer has been "lying" ("to lie" as in to "recline": I lie down, you lie down, etc.) on Cheney's lawn, not "laying" there ("to lay" as in "to place"), for heaven's sake.

    How does that compare with f**king a deer to death!?

    I make these objections because I can't control something in my head that says, "Was the deer laying Cheney on his lawn?  And why didn't somebody arrest it for assault on the vice president?"

    He was trying to shoot a lawyer, and the deer jumped out in front of him.

    What really happened is that the deer heard that Cheney is deadly with a gun and even shoots the people that go hunting with him. He realized he didnt have a chance and just flat gave up.

    ...sex lives.

    Try giving specious attacks a break, paperhead. I'm sure, somewhere within you, you have something compelling to say, but we'll never know the way you go so far afield to insult people and never remain on topic.

    But I'll bite: Just what DOES a dead deer have to do with someone's sex life?

    I think I'd rather have sex with an intern than a dead deer on my tree lawn.  Just saying.

    I bet SS and local sanitation are both scared to go near the place.  Gives 'em the creeps.

    Or Cheney just loves the smell of rotting flesh in the morning...smells like victory.

    Nobody dies of a blow job.

    In any case, it can't have been Cheney. Not if he was actually aiming for the deer.
