BREAKING NEWS: Vice President Dick Cheney Accidentally Shoots, Injures Man During Hunting Trip AP
Oooops!
Oh great - just give the liberal news vultures the best possible feed ever. And late night comedy just thanked their lucky stars.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a hunting trip in Texas.
WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.
Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.
Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.
Always heard that many a good pointer...has a bit of lead in it's tail.
Cannot tell....who's to blame here..or if there is blame to be had.
All that being said.....one needs to know one's field of fire.
Was it a cartoon protestor?
Vincent Foster? Oops, that was the co-President doing the shooting, not the VP, and it was intentional and not accidental. Never mind...

President Bush and VP Cheney are sitting in a bar.
A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Cheney sitting over there?"
The bartender says, "Yep, that's them."
So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor! What are you guys doing in here?"
Bush says, "We're planning WW III."
And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"
Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Muslims and one blonde with large tatas."
The guy exclaimed, "A blonde with large tatas? Why kill a blonde with large tatas?"
Bush turns to Cheney and says, "See, I told you no one CARES about the 140 million Muslims".
Never, never let your gun
Pointed be at anyone.
That it may unloaded be
Matters not the least to me.
When a hedge or fence you cross
Though of time it cause a loss
From your gun the cartridge take
For the greater safety’s sake.
If twixt you and neighboring gun
Bird shall fly or beast may run
Let this maxim ere be thine
“Follow not across the line.”
Stops and beaters oft unseen
Lurk behind some leafy screen.
Calm and steady always be
“Never shoot where you can’t see.”
You may kill or you may miss
But at all times think this:
“All the pheasants ever bred
Won’t repay for one man dead.”
. . . that being said, being brushed by some pellets is just one of the hazards of shooting birds in company. Everybody TRIES to stay behind the line - everybody TRIES not to follow a bird too far - but accidents happen.
"I think that damn Hippy cook spiked my food, I sure don't feel right. Look over there, it's hillary flying with horns and wings!" BLAM BLAM
You shoot a lawyer you better be with him in the hospital!
Wasn't this a scene from "Wedding Crashers"?
Great.. now every gun control nut is gonna come out of the woodworks and announce how dangerous guns are..
Then every liberal and Democrat is gonna come out of the woodwork and jump on the bandwagon to spit and kick the
Bush administration.
And since it was a Texas Quail trip, Peta will jump on the bandwagon too..
This is gonna get extremely ugly..
Bush's fault......
