Please don't shoot me

I try to keep politics to a minimum on the blog, but I couldn't resist posting this notion that the Cheney shooting is a metaphor for the entire administration. (I mean, hello--our Vice President actually SHOT SOMEONE IN THE FACE, tried to keep it hush-hush, and when it came out blamed the guy who got shot...doesn't that sound like something that would happen in a former Soviet backwater or an isolated banana republic instead of the US?! I'm definitely looking forward to watching the Daily Show's take on it when I get home tonight...)
