Administration denies "scurrilous allegations" that Vice President Burr killed Hamilton in duel.
  • Not very funny

    First of all, political satire has to make a good point. Cheney shot someone, Burr shot someone, there the relevance ends. And anything that equates George Bush with Thomas Jefferson is just plain wrong.

    Now a funnier article might compare Bush's right to do domestic wiretaps to Cheney's right to shoot people, including citing this historical example.
