Wouldn't you buy a used duck from this girl?

Heard it on CNN: (paraphrasing here)
CHENEY: "I understand John Kerry bought some camoflauge gear today, which tells me he doesn't do a lot of goose hunting. Looks like he's got an 'October Disguise' to cover up his anti-gun votes. The 2nd ammendment is not a photo-op."
Good stuff. The crowd was howling.
Wouldn't you buy a used duck from this girl?
Would have made for great media had the dog snapped Kerry's face!
You know, you're right. He's definitely wagging, but he's not smiling. He looks doubtful.
And from a Lab, that's a vote of no confidence.
Wouldn't you buy a used duck from this girl?
Absolutely. What a doll.
Picture?
I'm feeling particularly protective because she got bitten by a copperhead Saturday afternoon. Pretty ironic, because she had been out all day Friday doing retriever training in a pasture with bottomland and lots of ponds, then spent Saturday at an agility trial . . . and comes home and gets bit in our front yard while I'm unloading the car. Spent the night at the vet getting fluids, cortisone, antibiotics, and some stuff to boost her platelet count which dropped on account of the venom. Her poor little foot swelled as big as a banana.
She was feeling sorry for herself until Monday morning, when something clicked and she was all right again. She'll still be on oral Clavamox for a week, though.
Well, did Kerry get anything? Or did he take a few potshots, and then hold a press conference denouncing Ohio hunters for their willful atrocities against unwitting fowl?
Wow. Copperheads are no joke. Glad to hear she's going to be ok.
She looks fairly small for a lab - like a dainty girl. How old is she? She's a beautiful color and has gorgeous eyes.
You can tell I like labs!
Unfortunately, I'm not at home. If I can remember, I'll try to send one later.
It's open. Note the barrel protruding from the side of his right leg.
here in ohio no farmer will allow a blind to be built in their cornfields because this early in the season they are still harvesting and blinds will clog you a combine so most hunters lie on the ground or in "coffin"blinds(portable) you are going to get dirty.The report is that it was only a 2 hour hunt--I have hunted Geese many times overt the last 20 years and only rarely gotten a goose that fast and according to the photos they had at least two maybe four--something aint right.
Her sire is a conformation Lab with English breeding and some performance background (obedience & tracking & AKC Junior Hunter), and her mother is a daughter of the only Chocolate Lab ever to win a national field title (FC AFC Storm's Riptide Star). She got the head and close-coupled short stature from her sire, and the speed and slenderness and drive from her dam. She does agility and Hunting Retriever - she is two qualifying scores short of her Agility Dog title in AKC and working on her Started in UKC Hunting Retriever. A versatile little dog.
Those are Canadian geese that Kerry's team caught. They're big fat pests in the Northeast, at least around here they have no fear of humans and you can walk right up to them; bragging about getting a Canadian geese is like bragging about catching a minnow.
Ru-Roh. Canada's gonna sue.
"You think maybe this whole thing is a photo op."
Bob Dole doesn't call him "Live Shot" for nothing...
Could he have meant, he must not do much hunting or he would already have camouflage clothing.
That is how I took it.
Y agotta love Dick Cheney! He tells it like it is - he is a man of few words but it is always priceless what he does say!
Others have noticed how clean the legs of his pants are. I am not a duck hunter (me I like upland), but it seems to me that if you have to travel in and out of an area to get to a blind you are going to get some mud on your pants. H*ll, he isn't even carrying his own bird. Doubt he will be cleaning it either.
Yeah, that's what I said. (I haven't figured out how to do prior poster's quotes in italics yet... :^)
Another interesting point: Since Kerry had the photo-op photogs waiting to get their pics, and spent less than two hopurs afield with his party to get their birds, did they have pre-killed geese on hand as props for the occasion? Or was he hunting over a grain-baited area to eliminate any chance of returning empty-handed?
