HUMOR. Cheney dispara, con su escopeta, a un abogado de 78 años en la cara

Resumiendo mucho, Dick Cheney, el vice-presidente de EEUU, disparo a un abogado, cercano al partido republicano, en la cara mientras ambos cazaban codornices.

El tema se oculto durante casi un dia, hasta que salio en un periodico local (y de ahi a la fama mundial). El tema no da mucho mas de si, pero si sabeis un poquitin de ingles, no os podeis perder este video del gran humorista Jon Stewart.

10 minutos realmente impagables, sobre todo el final.
Jon Stewart [tadoramo] [tadoramo] [tadoramo]


Le veia en la paramount y joder es que te partes por todos sitios...

Un saludo
Bueno, para quienes no entiendan demasiado ingles, pongo la parte en ingles que he encontrado, con Rob, el analista neocon.

Rob Corddry, Vice Presidential Mishaps Analyst.

ROB: Jon, tonight the Vice President is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. According to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. Jon - Jon, he believes the world is a better place for his having spread shot throughout the entire region of Mr. Whittington's face.

JON: Rob, if he had known this Mr. Whittington was not a bird - if he had that information, why would the Vice President still have shot him in the face?

ROB Jon, the question, good question. In a post 9/11 world, the American people expect their leaders to be decisive. To have not shot him the the face, it would have sent a message to America that America is weak.

JON: I have to say, to my ears it is horrible that he would still do that.

ROB: Jon, the mere fact that we're even talking about how the Vice President drives up with his friends in cars to shoot farm-raised wingless quails is letting the quail know how they are hunting them. I'm sure right now those birds are laughing at us in that little covey of theirs.

JON: I'm not sure birds can laugh.

ROB: Whatever they do, Jon. Coo. They are cooing at us right now because we are talking openly about our plans to hunt them. Jig is up. Quails 1, America 0. Sorry.

JON: On a purely human level, on a human level, is the Vice President at least sorry?

ROB: Jon, what difference does it make? The bullets are already in the man's face. Let's move forward across party lines as a people to get him some sort of mask. Hindsight is 20/20, Jon, as was ironically the shotgun the Vice President used to shoot his friend, a 78-year old man, in what can only be described as his face.


Si tengo tiempo lo traduzco (y busco la otra parte).
Si le dispara a la cara a un amigo que sera capaz de hacerle a los desconocidos????. Valiente perla el Cheney este.
han dicho en telemadrid que ha sido en el pecho, al lado del corazon...........
Con ese titulo las respuestas se ven venir. Yo he oido que el abogado este se unio al grupo que estaba cazando sin darles aviso, con el consiguiente peligro.

Es como si digo yo ahora: (cierto como la vida misma).

El Rey mató de un escopetazo a su hermano ¿ciego? que ocupaba su sitio en la sucesion al trono.


Menudos titulares !

Tienes razon, mea culpa. No he dicho que fue sin intencion, pense que era implicito (sino seria un escandalo). Pero no se unio al grupo, iba ya con ellos. O eso es lo que han dicho la mayoria de medios norteamericanos...



Aqui esta todo el texto (falta algun trozo, pero es demasiado curro y tengo que estudiar)....

Jon: Yes, as you've just heard, a near-tragedy over the weekend in south Texas. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a man during a quail hunt ... making 78-year-old Harry Whittington the first person shot by a sitting veep since Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton, of course, (was) shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honor, integrity and political maneuvering. Whittington? Mistaken for a bird

The other player in the drama? Ranch owner and eyewitness Katharine Armstrong.

Katharine Armstrong: "We were shooting a covey of quail. The vice president and two others got out of the car to walk up the covey."

Jon Stewart: "What kind of hunting story begins with getting out of your car? As I sighted the great beast before us, my shaking hands could barely engage the parking brake. Slowly, I turned off the A/C and silenced my sub-woofers…"

Katharine Armstrong: "A bird flushed. The vice president took aim at the bird and shot and unfortunately, Mr. Whittington was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty well."

Jon Stewart: "Peppered. There you have it. Harry Whittington, seasoned to within an inch of his life. Peppering is what you do when you season salad. You shot that dude. Whittington was taken to the hospital where he received a very special visitor.


(Aqui cuentan que Cheney fue a visitarle al hospital)

JON: How minimally thoughtful.

  • Cheney: Hey dude!
  • Whitinton: Cuac!
  • Cheney: How are you?
  • Whitinton: Cuac!
  • Cheney: I pepperd you...
  • Whitinton: Cuac!


Now this history certainly has its humorist aspects. You shouldn´t make fun, but some exceptions. This one is very easy. Unbelievable easy. The kind of easy that makes you to turn you check. But it also raises a serious issue. You see im not just jon stewart. Im also concerned about parents. Moms, dads, if you're watching right now, I can't emphasize this enough: Don't let your kids go hunting with the vice president. I don't care what kind of lucrative contracts they're trying to land, or energy regulations they're trying to get lifted. He'll shot them in the face. For more on the story, let's go out to correspondent Ed Helms, who is live in Corpus Christi, Texas. Ed?

ED:Jon, I'm here at the hospital where Austin lawyer and Republican fund-raiser Harry Whittington is in stable condition after being shot by Vice President Dick Cheney during a weekend quail-hunting expedition. Doctor says he is recovering quickly after being show in the face by Vice President. I'll be here all day with continuous coverage of how Vice President Dick Cheney shot a 78-year-old man in the face after he mistook him for a small bird.

JON: Ed, this ranch, what kind of facility is this?

ED: Its a private hunting ranch where the hunter drives up to the (....) birds, the hunter gets out of his car, aims his shotgun to slow moving birds, 3 feet away, and then the hunt is on.

Jon: Why would vice president choose a facility whith birds that had been raised on cautivity and then released to be kill?

ED: Well, as you know the vice president has a big offer of secret service, and a full hospital detail, including five paramedics, three cardiologist, two ...... the cast of ER and that metal egg (where) Darth Vader sleeps in. Its a groove that makes a lot of noise that can scare off your average quail. So the hunt () wingless quail with no wings, in order to level the plainfield.

JON: How did this accident happen?

ED: Im sure a sedentary indoorsmen liberal and (...) like yourself wouldn´t understand. But its actually very common. Here is how it happens.


ED: Im sorry, im being told Whittington condition has now been upgrded from stable to stable but still shot in the face by the Vice President. Its good news. For now im Ed Helms, reporting from outside () hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, where this weekend a 78 old year men was shot by the Vice President of the USA.


Y despues iria lo que puse al principio. Si alguien lo completa, pues mucho mejor. Y ya si lo traduce...Pero vamos, que mas alla de que haya pegado o no un tiro a un abogado, la gracia esta en el video.
Por no crear otro hilo, subo este.

Stephen Colbert en la cena de corresponsales en la Casa Blanca. En mi opinion no es tan bueno como el de Stewart (el final incluso es bastante flojete), pero tampoco esta mal ;)

Por cierto, que tambien hace alusion al disparo de Cheney XD
Sabeis si esta noticia ya salio en el programa de Stewart subtitulado en la Paramount?? Es q mi nivel de ingles no llega para pillar todas las coñas...y por dios NECESITO verlo subtitulado...para mi John Stewart es el mejor showman que existe...le tienen que montar un templo a este hombre.
