Hmm....a lawyer safari....ah, the possibilities!

[Retired Chemist]

Didn't President Clinton shot someone in the eye and we didn't find out about it until months later? Oh wait, that was a different type of load.

LOL

[Palladin]

When's the last time you went hunting, or took a basic firearms safety course?

Another self-proclaimed expert.

[M. Thatcher]

if Dick Cheney got caught with his fly unzipped

Oh, yeah...remember that photo that was more revealing than Cheney would have liked?

[San Jacinto]

Isn't Cheney the first V-P to actually shoot someone since Aaron Burr?

And to think that Bush learned of this and did not think to call his old buddy Helen Thomas! How rude of him! I understand he DID call the NYT, but since it was not classified information, they had no interest.

[OldFriend]

What are you babbling about!!!!!

You don't have a clue as to exactly what happened and you have Cheney in the old folk's home?

[roses of sharon]

Be of good cheer, maybe next week or even by Thurs, you will have another good lecture for the Evil Ones of the Bush Administration.

Good Hunting!

"On another completly unrelated topic, I am unable to figure out why he MSM has become a parody of itself, can anyone help me?"

Money. They have targeted a niche audience of hard-core DUmmie self-loathing cowards, and the MSM lets those masochistic asshats have it 24/7 with a firehose.

[Palladin]

That's pure bullshit.

In my state, most people killed accidentally while hunting are young and in their prime, and hunting in a party of young guys.

The old guys who kick off while hunting usually do so from heart attacks.

[N. Theknow]

...the shooting victim, Texas attorney Harry Whittington...

I've got some attorneys I would like to hunting with.

What's an 8 letter word for skeet?

[presidio9]

Dick Cheney is 65 Sparky.

[popdonnelly]

Why would they want to publicize it? It was obviously an Oh Sh__ moment.

[lugsoul]

(a) I never proclaimed myself an "expert", though I have hunted, on and off, for most of my life.

(b) I haven't been out this winter. The last time I went hunting was about a year ago - last January. I shot five-stand four or five times last summer/fall.

The last time I took a firearms safety course was about ten years ago. I took a course with my nephew before taking him on his first hunting trip.

Why don't you answer your own questions now - or are you limited to reading from your blast fax?

[San Jacinto]

From your post I conclude that you are senile and showing strong signs of Alzheimer's Disease. For your own safety and those around you, please report at once to the local Senile Citizen's Center and pick up your bingo card.

[Palladin]

All right then.

And I don't have a fax machine.

[rwfromkansas]

They are just the WH press corps; they have become elitist aholes.

[humblegunner]

I'm a nobody and was on the ranch as far back as 1968.

I was born onto one in '64 and ran like hell as soon as I could.

It was a private ranch, very elitist, only the finest
flatbeds onto which one might fling one's haybales.

[KenmcG414]

Typical MSM BS.....double standard....reminds one of when Bill Clinton injured himself at Greg Norman's FL. place...MSM never questioned it one bit.

[cwb]

"And that's what concerns me about the fact that this would not have been reported unless it was leaked"

---

Umm...what are you talking about? Just because this wasn't reported to the WH press-corps within their time limit, doesn't mean it wasn't reported. Heck, there are SS agents usually with the VP, not to mention that the Sheriff had been informed and confirmed the shooting was an accident. Just because YOU or the media didn't know the moment it happened doesn't mean it was a cover-up, ala a leak.

[O Neill]

Isn't Cheney the first V-P to actually shoot someone since Aaron Burr?

It was Cheney on 09/11/2001 who authorized shooting down any threatening planes, relaying to Rumsfeld that these were the President's instructions and he believed one or two had already been taken out...
