The vice president didn't see him. The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good.
Someone explain to the reporter that you CAPITALIZE THE V, P, and G, as in Vice President and God. That aside, I'm not sure The Vice President didn't see him...Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good makes sense, better to just say the Veep made a mistake.
I believ it was Harry who made the mistake. He should have called out to the party when he saw they had moved away from him. Senile old geezer who wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.
Stay with your party, or put yourself at risk.
