First time in years the guy leaves his bunker and he shoots somebody. That is one mean hermit.

[MadMarchHare]

At least he could've shot Sheehan.  He had to go and kill a campaign contributor.

Ah, well, at least they weren't hunting elk or something.  How bad can a quail shot be?

It's a damn shame hunting isn't one of Dubya's hobbies.

[ice grillin you]

gun control means using both hands

[Diomedes]

He should be required to take an NRA gun safety course.

[mussa]

it is, if your under 18. they do need one for everyone though. 

[Diomedes]

What I'm saying is, if you accidentally shoot someone, maybe it's time for a refresher course.  Dick should be forced into one as a way to demonstrate the importance of knowing what the farg you're doing when you play with guns.

[mussa]

old men def need a refresher. i think they should retake driving safety course too.  fargin old basterds are stubborn.

[Diomedes]

The fact that, if you're over 18, you aren't required to take a safety course when you buy a gun is ludicrous, btw.  I mean, that's like letting people drive without requiring them to know how to operate a vehicle safely.   Just plain stupid.

[ice grillin you]

this is what happens when a bunch of good ole boys get all amped up at the start of hunting season...this and the daytona 500 are like mardi gras for necks...

be afraid

[Phanatic]

Anyone wonder how someone who got 5 deferments from the Vietnam war can love guns so much? Just a thought...

[Diomedes]

Killing gooks in the name of capitalism wasn't high on Dick's priority list at the time.  I figure he likes guns so much because the war trade has made him and his warmonger friends extremely rich and powerful.  So happy in fact that they don't hold it against one another when they accidently shoot each other up.

[Diomedes]

This story is strange.  And not just because the Vice President shot a Republican honcho in the face with a shotgun.

NEW YORK The more than 18-hour delay in news emerging that the vice president of the United States had shot a man, sending him to an intensive care unit with his wounds, grew even more curious Monday with word from the White House that President Bush had been informed of the incident Saturday but not immediately about Dick Cheney's role.

Earlier, E&P had learned that the official confirmation of the shooting came about only after a local reporter in Corpus Christi, Texas, received a tip from the owner of the property where the shooting occurred and called Vice President Cheney's office for confirmation.

The confirmation was made but it is not known for certain that Cheney's office, the White House, or anyone else intended to announce the shooting if the reporter, Jaime Powell of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, had not received word from the ranch owner.

One of Powell's colleagues at the Corpus Christi paper, Beth Francesco, told E&P that Powell had built up a strong source relationship with the prominent ranch owner, Katharine Armstrong, which led to the tip. Powell is chief political reporter for the paper and also covers the area where the ranch is located south of Sarita, about 60 miles from Corpus Christi. Armstrong did not notify reporters at larger papers in Dallas, Houston, Austin, or other cities.

Armstrong called the paper Sunday morning looking for Powell, who was not at work. When they did talk, Armstrong revealed the shooting of prominent Austin attorney Harry Whittington, who is now in stable condition in a hospital. Powell then called Cheney's office for the confirmation around midday. The newspaper broke the story at mid-afternoon -- not a word about it had appeared before then.

More at link.  Bizarre.


CBS reported, but has since taken down the tidbit that local cops weren't allowed to speak to Dick "Go farg Yourself" Cheney at all.  The Secret Service prevented it. 

p.s. Cheney didn't have the right authorizations on his hunting license to hunt pheasant quail.  link
