Contest I’m probably gonna regret

Now that shoe-hurler Muntadar al-Zeidi has been beaten viciously, tortured into making a ludicrous “confession” that he was put up to it by a terrorist “well-known for beheading people,” and will face a prison sentence of up to 15 years, somehow you don’t hear anybody repeating Bush and Condi’s first reaction, that the incident showed just how free Iraq is these days.

CONTEST: In that interview yesterday, Cheney said that when he told Patrick Leahy to fuck himself, “he merited it at the time.” What words has Dick Cheney merited? For extra points, try not to be as big a potty mouth as the vice president.
