WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday. ADVERTISEMENT
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 wish he'd shoot me.
Then I'd have a perfectly legitimate excuse for shooting the dumb fuck in the face.

notice how it says "Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter", if he wasn't a politician, the headline would be "man shoots fellow hunter,blah, blah, blah,accidentally".

They also try to make it look like it was the victim's fault.
The guy didn't "signal" were he was. Fucking Cheney doesn't know his gun saftey?? Not the vice-president!

lol, yeah, and why should that 78 year old man have to signal him, how hard is it too see a old ass man, outside, while hunting? I'm sure there has to be somebody watching that geezer with a gun, around the VP.(i hope there was somebody watching him) lol. way things have been going, most likely not.

Have you ever been quail hunting. You either get a dog or get someone to shoot up in the air to flush the quail from their nest on the ground.

Have you ever been quail hunting. You either get a dog or get someone to shoot up in the air to flush the quail from their nest on the ground.
even if he was shooting in the air to get them out of their nest, HOW DO YOU GET SHOT IN THE FACE???? air is upwards, and the groud is downwards, unless he was trying to hit them on theyre way down i cant see how he got shot...

Birds are capable of flying at a height equal to the height of a human being, especially when said bird just took off from the ground. This isn't rocket science here.
