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.
Those Neocons. Not only have they started to kill iraquis and iranians for oil, they want to wipe out the US as well. I knew it, we would be much better off if China/Russia/Iran was at the helm.
I routinely mistake 78 year old men white men for game birds..... The headlines should be: "Chief Chickenhawk shoots 78 year old man, he thought he as a chicken."
Do you think if the victim hadn't been injured to the point of having to go to the hospital, that we would have even heard this story?
Excerpts From Dick Cheney's Haiku Diary: 1. I shot some pellets Into the ass of a pal. Double bourbon now! 2. Just like Vietnam, I watched my buddy bleeding. Chickenhawk my ass! 3. A Breathalyzer?

Someday when I get a chance, I'm going to tell you all a little story about a fellow... you may have heard of him. Goes by the name "Kennedy". Another time, maybe. Kingcobra, Z10... once again, superior posts. It's good to be "protected" in the forums, aint it? Have a wonderful evening. Take a break, watch some olympics. Oh wait, there's white people from America competing, sorry to offend.

You guys have fun playing with yourselves. Iâm still waiting for any evidence supporting the Democratâs chance at winning a majority in Congress, let alone the White House.
