You forgot that Karl Rove orchestrated the immediate cover-up of this outrageous attempt at silencing someone no one ever heard of over absolutely nothing. It was only through the efforts of a well placed undercover Dem from DU masquerading as a Nurse that this was leaked out so everyone would know what a murderous regime is in the White House today.

Oh well, we should get a good laugh over this unfortunate, but no news incident being expolited this week.

Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter

By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press Writer

Whittington has been a private practice attorney in Austin since 1950 and has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He's been appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W. Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission.

Whittington owns property in Travis County worth at least $11 million, the Austin American-Statesman reported last year, not counting a downtown block at the center of a long-running dispute with the city over a condemnation issue.

That'll drive the left nuts, especially if he mentions the NRA.

I plan on telling them exactly that. "Man, as one who hunts, I think I am going to donate more money to the NRA specifically for hunter/shooter safety training courses."

Very true, but shotguns and birdshot are really different, they fly all over the place, the wad sometimes makes them go sideways, they are very light bb's

I'll never be in the field or on a trap/skeet range with you.

Where do you read this crap? Ever fired a few hundred thousand rounds from a shotgun? Ever rolled your own rounds?

I imagine that in the next few days, there will be many Barf Alerts on FR covering this. Especially as slow as the news has been lately.

Reporters need to know the subject that they are reporting or should keep their silly mouths shut......

The news channels would be silent about 23 1/2 hours a day.

I won't go into the details, but an incident very similiar happened to me many years ago. I was one scared pheasant hunter. I learned a lesson, but like this incident you can't have eyes in the back of your head. Luckily I was using light loads and Louie was a long ways off on my right. He still has the shot embedded in his scalp and reminds me about it everytime we meet.

"I'm seeing that Cheney himself was shot."

And just where did you see/hear that?

Yahoo originally (erroneously) reported that Cheney was shot.

They corrected the headline shortly after posting it, but of course a lot of people had already picked it up.

And before anybody jumps on me, I've been a hunter all my life. I have a cardinal rule that I don't hunt with people who are unsafe, and right now I'd have serious doubts about whether I'd want to be in a hunting party with some of these people.

I doubt you are a bird hunter.

Probably wishful thinking on their part.

It's amazing really (not).

Some of these folks up here haven't yet discovered the cause of reproduction(human or animal), and one can visit a local animal shelter and walk out with some fine Blueticks, Redbones, Walkers and Black and Tans.

I was at the shelter a few weeks ago when some local rabbit hunters came in looking for some beagles. There were lots of beagles, and a LOT of good looking hounds in there, waiting to be gassed. One bluetick pup caught my attention: a beautiful speciman of that breed.

I ended up with an old man (labrador), riddled with arthritus, teeth worn to nubs, and now just as spoiled and demanding as the girl in the picture. They didn't even make me pay the adoption fee (Gee I must be famous or good looking or something, NAW).

Good hounds will keep bears, and other wildlife from becoming public nuisences/dangers. In fact, some wildlife agencies have actually tried using hounds to "untame" bears causing problems in some northern states.

If your friend lets her hound out, and he is a good tracking, striking, or trailing dog, he'll be long gone.

Tracking collars have been used here for a LONG time. I know a guy who sued the National Park Service (Great Smoky Mountains) and ended up with a settlement because a park employee (and AR activist getting paid with our tax dollars) took his dog's collar off, threw it aside, and gave the dog to some park visitors who couldn't stand the thought of dogs actually being subjected to "hunting, blood sports."

The dog had crossed the line between public land and the Cherokee Indian reservation, where Cherokees can hunt without a license. etc. The federal employee was moved out of this area quickly, fired, whatever.

Sh*& happens when you are hunting, thats why the word "ACCIDENT" is in the dictionary. Thank God I wasn't a VP and accompanied by a host of reporters when I was 18.........

FWIW, no harm was done and a lesson was learned........

Never been a better dog house invented than an old rusty car hood stacked against a tree.

I don't bash hillbillies, I am one.

I just know an idiot when I see one. And you are right, this species is not native to one region. I know some from England, Russia, New York, Pennsylvania -- but they are PREVELANT where I live.

Just check out my family tree :)
