Dick Cheney the Muse

guardian.co.uk

A well-known Colombian tailor is using Dick Cheney’s famous hunting mishap—when Cheney accidentally shot his friend in the face—as inspiration for a new line of bulletproof hunting apparel. The accompanying video shows one of the bulletproof jackets in action.

The Guardian:

It is Dick Cheney-inspired couture for anxious toffs: a range of stylish bullet-proof jackets for protection from trigger-happy hunting partners.

The jackets are the latest offering from Miguel Caballero, a Colombian tailor who has made a fortune from selling bullet-proof fashion to presidents, oligarchs, celebrities—and now hunters.

Buckingham Palace has expressed interest in purchasing 52 jackets from the “cazadora extrema” (extreme hunter) range, the company told the Guardian, and a camouflage version will soon go on sale in its branch in Harrods.

“This is a new market for us. Dick Cheney has helped raise awareness of accidents,” said Carolina Fernandez, a marketing director.

ACCIDENTS????????????

Nothing Cheney destroys happens by ‘accident’ and that includes Iraq and Afghanistan, and all of the millions of innocent civilians than and everywhere else.

He didn’t destroy the Constitution or the US economy by accident either.

These bulletproof garments couldn’t save any of them.

Anybody who thinks the Cheney shooting was an accident is naive. Cheney was demonstrating to everybody that he could do what he damn pleases and everybody better take notice. Pay attention to the fact that the victim apologized to Cheney and not the other way around. So…!
