Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter



WASHINGTON - Vice President
Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.


Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.

Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.

Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

I can't think of any Presidents, Vice-Presidents, or even Presidential candidates shooting anyone since Aaron Burr.

Historic moment.  :)

I'm betting Harry is part of the Axis of Evil and Cheney just plugged the old bastard out of instinct.

Funny how no one in the media except a few have bothered to say that Whittington crossed over behind Cheney and came out of the brush behind him and to the side of the hunting group, never saying he was out of position and in the open area where Cheney was supposed to have been shooting. It doesn't mean Cheney isn't at fault, but that Whittington is also at fault. Both of them violated the rules of hunting, not just one. No excuses for either.
