Finally, Cheney found a doting focus group he can feel good with. Wonder if he bragged about his infinite war and how those little girls can lose their husbands and future children because of him. How touching...

Air Force Two struck a bird as the plane neared Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

Better with an airplane than a shotgun it seems.

Daddy, they were little girls seeing the Vice President of the United States. It was a big deal for them - nothing more and nothing less. Find an iota of compassion - not everything must be politicized.

Presumably most of those people are ordinary, decent, Americans who respect him simply because he's Vice President of the United States. They would have done the same thing for Al Gore.

And then the idiot FReepers would have FReeked out just like the idiot lefties are freaking out now.

God, I hate 21st-century politics.

Per the two yahoos above - is there no event sufficiently innocent that it can't be handily turned into an occasion for slimy, overwrought cheap shots?

Criminy, don't you people ever lighten up?

Kind of cute like Shrek, only he really kills and eats people...

You two should have radio shows, so you could be fired.

What's your focus group there, "daddy"? Iranian-trained terrorists with bombs strapped to their chests as they walk into schools and shopping malls?

Seems the young girls and their parents can recognize a true leader better than the crying liberals. I'm sure the girls will remember the day they met the VP as they grow to be future leaders themselves.

Yeah, and I wonder if those like 'daddy' brag about their willingness to surrender to militant religious fanatics who, if they succeed, will kill millions and force billions into involuntary behavior alteration. How touching to worry about the mote in the VP's eye while not noticing the beam in his own.

Just because American leftists don't want to fight for their way of life doesnt mean that the Islamofascist wont fight for theres. All you have to do is open your eyes and look at Spain (havent they surrendered already?) Thailand, Indonesia, France, I can keep going but it gets redundant.

These youngsters understand that if the jihad deniers have their way that a number of them will not grow up to be women and those that do will have all the joys that women in the islamofascist world have, ie, genital mutilation, no education, burkas, etc.

Amazing to see that prepubescents understand the consequences better than the leftists.

Is the bird filing suit.

? i have always wondered at how VP Cheney is frequently described as "cold" or "humorless". He has always reminded me of several men of a generation that didn't display their feelings overtly. It's probably a cultural/generational thing. Personally i have always thought he looks amused of all that goes on around him.

Great news. It seems little girls can recognize a strong and good man when they see one.

Yeah, Daddy, I am sure that's exactly what he did. As we all know, better there be a million dead fathers and future children as long as they are brown Iraqis, and not any Americans.
Jackass.

The first two comments are by clearly bitter people. I feel sorry for their little girls.

A good crowd for him. Most all from loving, well informed homes, and not yet of an age to have been influenced by the propaganda machine.

I find the story endearing. Its a shame that others have to find a way to fit it into their worldview.

Ah, those little girls have yet to learn how to disrepect. What immaturity!
