Vote in our local poll today:
Parkersburg News and Sentinel | Parkersburg News and Sentinel
The question: Is Vice President Cheney's apology for his derogatory comment about West Virginians enough or should he be impeached?
Right now the tally is 51% Apology vs. 49% Impeach.
C'mon, look at all the other crude things Dick Vader has said publicly.  |

He's a political hack and poor marksman. More than enough for WV'ians to hate him.

As long as these people are out there and think those things, we are safe...
I saw what they did to Oregon...I hope to never see that here...

If Cheney had been making fun of a religion, racial group, or nationality there would be an uproar nationally. Evidently it is all right to make fun of West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee or any southern state as being ignorant, inbred, or just plain stupid. Talk about bigotry, this was a prime example.

Sadly, Cheney was making a tired old regional joke.
If you are from the east coast you are rude, west coast you are a flighty hippie, red necks or hicks in the middle, simple folk in the north, corruption in the south blah blah blah.
You get hit with these jokes all the time...watch a Jay Leno monologue.
Personally, I'd be more offended by the non-joking claim (from Cheney's relative's camp) that WV is populated by racist rednecks, resulting in Clinton's win there.
I personally find outrage over jokes has a strong correlation to political affiliation. *cough*  |

As I said in another thread, Cheney is just jealous because West Virginians know how to handle firearms.
