Deadeye 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.

It was vintage Cheney when you think of it.

!

He acted on faulty inteligence.

-Osama and his gang are free as...well, birds, plotting more mayhem.

Tell us another fairy tail. Like he was able to pull of the NORAD stand down.

Ha ha ha ha

Where do these clowns come from. ?

Call me skeptical, but the more you read about the tale of Slimy Dick's bad shot, the fishier the tale gets.

First, the ranch lady claimed the 'accident' occurred around 5:30pm. 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??

Secondly, 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!)

Finally, 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.

Will we see more bizarre developments coming out of this hunting 'accident' in the next fortnight??

When W. Bush was told his VP had shot a man while hunting quail he responded:

"Why was Cheney trying to shoot my dad's Vice President?"

I think you meant January 20, 2009. The election is in '08.

...here's my take.

Big fucking deal.

A planer case of a simple accident you'd be hard pressed to contrive.

Any conspiracy theories built around this are truly up the with those of the rarified "chemtrails" variety.

That said, it's too bad they all didn't accidentally unload their guns into each other.

Much more germaine to this issue is the idea that all hunters should be murdered.

Thanks for the kind words.

Just adding this for all the googlers who stumble here.

Dick shot at close range, not 90 feet.
