26 REDS & A BOTTLE OF WINE

This week we here at 26 Reds and a Bottle of Wine are giving our Person of the Week award to someone who has had it coming for a long time now. The Dark Prince himself: Dick Cheney.

The VP shot a hunting buddy in the face late last week. If that doesn't get you a Person of the Week award I don't know what does.

What makes it great, what elevates this from simply a weird happening (like Bush choking on a pretzel a few years ago) to blissful irony is that when George W. Bush was governor of Texas he appointed this guy to the state Funeral Services Commission. Come on, that's good stuff. Appoint the guy to the Funeral Commission and then have the VP shoot him in the face. Even Luca Brasi got a better deal than that.

So for shooting a campaign contributor is the face with a shotgun and making sweet love to lady irony, Vice President Dick Cheney, you are our Person of the Week
