Careful What You Ask For Dept.

We
heard the news that the Vice President had shot his lobbyist friend
in a hunting accident while we were in the
ICU at a minor urban hospital, doped up but still in considerable pain. We
have yet to hear or read our first response anywhere else, despite the
plethora of one-liners engendered by this Imperial Faux Pas.

"Ex-Vice President Dan Quayle, upon learning of the
incident involving the current VP, commented, "That’s one invitation
we’re glad we turned down."

Conspiracy theorists see the opening moves of a plot
to force the resignation of the Vice President. Should this be the case,
we wonder if the plotters have thought about who will actually be running
the country should they succeed.
