2. trip down memory lane

In 1988, The House passed, 413 to 4, a bill that would ban the manufacture, sale or possession of any plastic firearm that could evade detection by X-ray machines or metal detectors.

House member at the time Dick 'Lawyer Slayer' Cheney was one of the 4 who voted nay on this bill. I guess he thought it an infringement on american citizens right to keep & bear plastic firearms on board airliners.
Dick was the gunnut who later became vice president under gwbush & the two lived up to liberal's portentious predictions that the nra would have the white house on their board of directors.
Dick also went on a hunting trip & nearly killed his lawyer friend, who still has a shotgun pellet lodged next to his heart (how that song go? ooooo, what a lucky man, he izzzzz...) , as dick spun about to blast a just released penned up pheasant from a cage (peta was incensed). After the accident I heard dick then turned to fishing from a barrel.

Dick was a bit delusional during his vice presiduncy, predicting americans would be greeted as liberators in iraq, that iraq would be self sufficient within a couple years due their oil, & that the war was justified since saddam hussein definitely had weapons of mass destruction.

Hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane, dick.
