\tDeadeye Dick, vice president and regent of this great nation, set out to shoot himself a quail in Texas this weekend, swung around and unloaded his shotgun at his host, attorney Harry Whittington, this weekend, sending the unfortunate and no doubt surprised man to the hospital, his face and chest full of shot.\r\n

But the Whitey House said it was informed around 8:00pm, about an hour after the shooting. If the WH is truthful(don't laugh, I know that's a 'long shot'), that would put the actual shooting time around 7:00pm, well past the Texas legal time limit for quail hunting of 6:48pm, 30 minutes after sunset. Um, could the Prince of Darkness have been firing in the dark??\r\n\r\nSecondly, it was claimed that the victim of this wanton & reckless shooting, Mr. Wittington, came up from behind the Halliburton CEO. That would seem to suggest that Dickie C would turn 180 degrees in order to fire off a shot, a highly athletic manuever AND an especially unlikely scenario, to say the least(given the degraded agility of the Veep, who had just been recovering from his aneurism operation just a few months back!)\r\n\r\nFinally, this latest twist of Mr. Wittington's condition turning worse after a slight 'recovery' sounds even more suspicious. Could the 78-year old 'liberal' Texas attorney actually have been in a comatose state since the shooting 'accident' last Saturday? I dunno, but my hunch is that the Whitey House and Washington's most notorious 'empty warhead' have a lot of explaining to do, and so far the corporate bin-Laden media have not seriously demanded direct answers from a chief Chickenhawk who couldn't shoot straight.\r\n\r\nWill we see more bizarre developments coming out of this hunting 'accident' in the next fortnight??","author":"DLi","parent_id":147204,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2006-02-16 00:32:25","modified":"2006-02-16 02:39:53","fileurl":""},{"id":147371,"heading":"Bush's reaction","article":"When W.
