Cheney - Neocon AND Lousy Shot

BBC - Cheney shoots man in hunt error

The US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has accidentally shot and injured a man during a quail hunting trip in Texas.The victim, named as Harry Whittington, was on the trip with Mr Cheney at the Armstrong Ranch when the accident happened on Saturday.

Ranch owner Katharine Armstrong said Mr Whittington, 78, had been taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital where he was said to be “doing fine”.

The Lefties are going to have a field day with this one. I’m just glad that Cheney wasn’t hunting with Cindy Sheehan.

    The Vice-President accidentally shot someone? Then of course all guns should be taken away from all law-abiding citizens everywhere. Problem solved!

    I don’t really particularly care if Cheney shot someone (though it does seem like he is a careless huntsman), however I do find it noteworthy that it took a day before the press/public were told.
    That seems like a fairly long gap, and should not happen.
