Bill Maher has apparently been running some kind of Richard Bruce Cheny poetry contest, and some of the entries have appeared here and there on the internets. Even though I'm partial to the elegance of haiku I rather like this one, which I shamelessly stole lifted found on Crooks and Liars:
On Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms
What happened in the missing hour?
What'd they do in their ivory tower?
Did they find it was a crime
and that Cheney could do time?
Did they ask: "What if he dies?
"What of your two D.U.I.s?"
Did they think he could do years?
That it better be _one_ beer?
And was it in that hour,
Dick said, "I'll meet the cops tomorrow"?
Was it then they decided,
it was better to hide it?
"It sure's good to be the Vice."
I'll say. Wouldn't it be nice?

Heh. I posted the winners. Impressive. These are good too.
BTW, thanks for the report on Cheweeney being drunk. I swiped it. I posted today on Thompson's reply to wingnut lipflap that he made it up.
Doug Thompson has been castigated for inaccurate information. Not everything he reports is accurate. I've never done a spreadsheet on it, but I'm wiling to bet my half-interest in the North Carolina latex factory that his accuracy rate exceeds that of the NY Times and WaPo.
This may be because he tends to commit journalism with intent, rather than just typing his name across the top of Mr Rove's daily faxes.
