Fun with Dick and Shame
How could we resist? Here is a simple poster but the videos and songs that follow are a real hoot. Warning: United States Republican diehards (um, poor choice of words, but intentional) may want to skip all of these. www.grouchyoldcripple.com/archives/001883.html
Letterman on target
David Letterman has his fun with a mock White House attempt at spin. www.youtube.com/?v=dReE6zbmH7U
Another shot
Sung to the Elvis tune I'm All Shook Up, this one is, naturally, I'm all Shot Up, as performed by US vice-president Dick Cheney's accidental shooting victim Harry Whittington. www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-hipp/cheneys-victim-sings_b_15948.html
Leno shoots back
Jay Leno fans will find the late-night host in good form with one of his arranged interviews. http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/2006/02/leno_shoots_bac.html
Bull's-eye humour
The Daily Show has the longest video I could find. Typical of what we have all come to expect - and hilarious. www.youtube.com/?v=-EaBnnIx8x8
Gunning for Cheney
There had to be a few songs, so here they are. This one has a little flash animation to go with it. www.bobrivers.com/ontheshow/brsnews.asp?dismode=article&artid=4726
