Surely he's ready to step down now. (sarc)

However, he did have a "Lawyer Stamp".

[xcamel]

Eleventy-seventh posting of the same PaleoMainScreamMedia orgasm over a non-story.

[FreedomPoster]

You need a bird stamp to shoot an old white guy?

< credit to Luiz on that one>

[exnavy]

New Republican iniative, take a democrat hunting.

[Fresh Wind]

Send him to Gitmo!

[digger48]

Whittington also received a warning for failing to have the stamp. A department spokesman said warnings are being issued in most cases because the stamp requirement only went into effect five months ago and many hunters aren't aware of it.

"Breaking Hunting Law" is a bit drastic, isn't it?

Lead story on Today Show. Matt just soiled his panties leading in to it.

[PilloryHillary]

The coverage of this story is a complete joke! The Today Show on NBC opened with this non-story, as if it were the most important story of the day. Sickening.

[Always Right]

The accident raised questions about Cheney's adherence to hunting safety practices and the White House's failure to disclose the accident in a timely way.

Democrats are demanding the following actions:

1. Appoint a special prosecuter to investigate this failure to have a stamp and determine if it is impeachable offence.
2. Create a new White House Agency, Office of Hunting Accidents to insure timely reporting of all hunting accidents.
3. Ban bird shot and require plastic shot be used in its place as not to injure the birds.

See, If he would have had that 7 Dollar Stamp,This tradgedy would not have occured. We need to ban all Guns!!!(Sarc.)

"The accident raised questions about Cheney's adherence to hunting safety practices and the White House's failure to disclose the accident in a timely way."

Will someone kindly post that law?

[cricket]

But, he added, "it's still the fault upon the shooter to identify his target and what is beyond it."

. . .do we know that he did not and that his friend, with seventy-eight-year-old hearing (and perhaps ear plugs) did not hear him? WHatever. . .had his friend announced he was 'there'. . .then Cheney no doubt, would have responded accordingly. . .

THAT said. . .The Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept. should be cited for NOT sending the 'new stamp' required to Cheny; since all legalities were requested by Cheney's staff for his hunting trip.

This is a pathetic. . .as well as totally debased attempt on part of media to re-frame this hunting accident into a Cheney scandal. Disgusting. . .

They want to make any good Repub. . .appear to play on the same level and dirty, playing field they do. . .and use it as an apples/oranges 'frame' for their next and genuine. . .scandal.

Making these wild, irresponsible charges. . .does just that. Works for them.

ONE MORE THING. . .White House should take a little heat for not framing this accident in better context. . .Cheney did not shoot his companion. . .did not SHOOT the man(!). Cheney WAS aiming and shooting a quail; and we have yet to learn; whether he 'got' it; or not. . .

[wolfcreek]

I live in Texas and was not aware of this additional tag.( but I haven't hunted quail in years)

[auto power]

oh good grief! The press corps is going to beat this story to death.

[syriacus]

At least Cheney didn't abandon Whittington for hours, while he went off to talk with his advisers, like Ted Kennedy abandoned Mary Jo.

The MSM is angrier that Cheney didn't tell them he did get help for an injured companion
than they were when Kennedy didn't tell them that he didn't get help for his injured companion.

[taillightchaser]

Maybe his boss will pardon him for this horrendous crime.
Where were all these jackals in the press when the swimmer killed Mary Jo????

[Rebelbase]

If Cheney was getting a hummer by one of his young staff while hunting and purposefully did not buy $7 game bird stamp and then lies about it to a Federal judge I say throw the book and Impeach him.
