DATELINE WASHINGTON, D.C.
A white house source stated that Congress is considering awarding Vice President Dick Cheney the Medal of Freedom, the national highest civilian commendation, for his act of bravery in shooting an attorney.
The source was quoted to say "All Americans have wanted to shoot a lawyer at one time or another and Cheney actually had the balls to do it."
In a related story, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which issues hunting licenses, said that it will start requiring hunters wishing to bag a lawyer, to have a new “lawyer stamp” on their hunting license. Currently Texas hunters are required to carry stamps for hunting birds, deer and bear, at a cost of $7 annually. The new “lawyers stamp” will cost $100, but open season will be all year long.
The department further stated that although the "lawyers stamp" comes at a hefty price, sales have been brisk and it is believed it will generate in excess of $3 billion dollars the first year. Other states have started to consider similar lawyer hunting license stamps.
