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.

Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail late afternoon on Saturday.
Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and found a second covey.
Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Armstrong told the Associated Press in an interview.
"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."

Re: Cheney plus shotgun = BAD combo.
The dissapointment was palpable after I found out it wasn't Cheney on the receiving end of a point blank shotgun blast.
I really have to stop getting my hopes up.

LOL, I saw it and just shook my head.  The man is evil personified. I mean, they got out of the SAME car. You're not even safe from him if you're on the same side!

Nope, then the title of the thread would have been
Cheney plus shotgun = GOOD combo.

Re: Cheney plus shotgun = BAD combo.
My gosh they are showing this live on our local news. Making it sound all dramatic. Poor guy, Whittington its seems he is the Director of the Funeral Assocation.

Maybe Cheney thought the guy was a terrorist and was doing a little Homeland Security of his own!

Re: Cheney plus shotgun = BAD combo.
No way, that's too proactive for Cheney. He would have gotten a flunky to shoot the guy.

Re: Cheney plus shotgun = BAD combo.
it's not even hunting.. they release about 600 stupid quails right in front of them, and they bag about 200
blam blam blam.. it's not a hunt, it's a slaughter. It's like skeetshooting, but with things that are alive.
Typical repuke.
