BOROWIT: HALLIBURTON WINS CONTRACT TO RECONSTRUCT CHENEY'S REPUTATION:
The Borowitz report offers this satire—or is it?
While Halliburton has been known for massive reconstruction projects in such war-torn nations as Iraq, the $42 billion contract represents the first time that the company has been employed to put its reconstruction expertise to work on one embattled human being.
“At the White House, spokesman Scott McClellan defended the $42 billion price tag for the reconstruction effort, telling reporters, "Given how much work Dick Cheney's reputation is going to take to rebuild, at the end of the day that $42 billion contract is going to look like a bargain."
Mr. McClellan likened the state of Mr. Cheney's reputation to conditions on the ground in Iraq, "only worse."

”Go to Google and type "Cheney quail hunt". Then press "I'm Feeling Lucky" to see the result. I guess Google has a sense of humor!
