If I were to tweak this quote by the Democrat governor of Kentucky, Steve Beshear and use it in some other post?

"When I mention that Democrats are problem solvers, I can think of only one Republican who can be a problem solver -- that is Vice President Dick Cheney if he would just take George on a hunting trip," Beshear said. Cheney accidentally shot fellow quail hunter Harry Whittington in Texas in 2006.

Mind you, this is one of the much-vaunted Democrat superdelegates, so he has a big influence on the outcome of the nomination battle.

But suppose I had written something similar in some other context – you know, like this:

I can think of one Republican who can be a problem solver -- that is Vice President Dick Cheney if he would just take Barack on a hunting trip.

Or this:

I can think of one Republican who can be a problem solver -- that is Vice President Dick Cheney if he would just take Hillary on a hunting trip.

The local Democrats would rev up into high gear and restart their effort to get my school district to fire me for being a Republican. They’d demand that I be dumped or resign from my position as a precinct chair, and insist that the Harris County GOP censure me at their next available opportunity. They would also likely be insisting that I should be arrested – or at least brought in for questioning by the Secret Service.

But then again, I guess the quote and the relative lack of outrage would be par for the course – after all, it is just another liberal fantasizing about the killing of a Republican president.
