Ironically, Dick Cheney recently claimed Sen. Mike Enzi lied. Pot, kettle...
Even more ironically, Dick Cheney had a "major" gun malfunction during a charity hunting contest.
And who can forget that time back in 2006 when he shot his 78-year-old hunting pal, Harry Whittington, in the face?
Now even more ironically, Rafael "Ted" Cruz went hunting with his own little friend, Rep. Steve King, and made a few tasteless comments about the Cheney incident that he apparently thought were real knee-slappers. Yes, Raffy Cruz thinks Raffy Cruz is funny.
Cruz:
"Yeah, look, it happens."
Of course, King, not to be outclasslessed, said:
It "doesn't bother me a bit. The way I understood it, he was standing in the wrong place."
Can't get more compassionate than that, can you? Maybe Whittington should invite them on a hunting trip to express his gratitude.
Now take a look at Raffy's stand-up routine. He strutted his tasteless stuff during a keynote address at a Defenders of Freedom event in Le Mars, Iowa. Don't forget to tip your server.

Cruz:
"In the two weeks that followed [the Cheney shooting incident], there were over 200 calls to Texas Parks and Wildlife asking, how much for a license to shoot a Republican lawyer."
