Too Close for Comfort

It's all over the news today that Vice President Darth Cheney was the object of a suicide bomber's misguided love last night in Afghanistan. The bomber was representin' for the Taliban, the former Middle-Eastern chart-toppers who are looking to make an Eddie Murphy-style comeback.

I wonder aloud how this brush with death, and not at his own hands (see---heart attack), will affect Cheney's negligence in Afghanistan in favor of overthrowing a government completely unrelated to 9/11. Will it affect the advice he gives to the Boy Prince, or will they continue quixotically on their heretofore "remarkable achievement" instead?

Holding my breath. . .
