Cheney Shot And Injured Somebody In A Hunting Accident!

[Thommy Melanson]

It's on MSNBC and CNN right now.

It happened on Saturday in Texas...wow!

[CraigM]

He's going to jail!

(Not really)

Craig

[Blake Sims]

haha

[mario]

Was he out hunting with Greg Lemond?

[Brad N.]

Hee Hee. This is hilarious since the guy apparently is fine, but the fact remains that our VP shot another person yesterday. Apparently the guy was wearing a wire and I've read the transcript. Here's a taste:

VP Dick Cheney: So, uh, you think they're gonna open an investigation into my leaking of classified intel to reporters to help us make the case for war in Iraq?

Harry Whittington: Well Dick, That is troubling. I would be even more concerned that they might still get ya for telling Libby to out Valerie Plame.

Cheney: Harry, why don't you go stand over by that tree. I think I see a quail.

Whittington: This tree? But I don't see any...

Cheney: IT'S COMING RIGHT FOR US!!!

BLAM!!!

[Corpse Reign]

That goddamn genie really fucked up my wish.

[Brad N.]

LOL! Damn, man. How can Cheney even hunt with his ticker?

[Thommy Melanson]

Too bad it wasn't Quayle he was hunting ;)

And the dude he shot was in his '70s!

I guess Cheney really doesn't want to run :lol:

Guns don't kill people, Dick Cheney does.

[Thommy Melanson]

Guns don't kill people, Dick Cheney does.

The guy was injured, not killed, but if he dies I'm sure Halliburton would be more than happy to be given the no-bid funeral contract...

...a casket, service and interment would only cost us taxpayers 560 million dollars.

[half guard]

Guns don't kill people, Dick Cheney does.

seriously, we ought to get shirts printed up with that slogan.

[Kenneth I. Wolfe]

The guy was injured, not killed...

I know that, but then the slogan would be too different.

[Kenneth I. Wolfe]

seriously, we ought to get shirts printed up with that slogan.

Yeah, maybe I might make one.

[azad]

you know, im all for hunting, but cheney doesnt need to hunt to feed his family, nor does he live out in the woods. Kinda telling about a guys personality when his recreation time revolves around killing small creatures. (as opposed to his professional life which revolves around killing big ones that walk and talk :) )

[Mister Mets]

Guns don't kill people, Dick Cheney does.

If he can't kill a 78 year old man with a shotgun, Dick Cheney doesn't kill people.

[Thommy Melanson]

It's hard to know how to properly aim a weapon when you got deferments from the draft and never had to join the military.

Where would he have learned to shoot on a yacht?

Touchdown!:lol:

[Foolish Mortal]

Did he shoot Scooter?

"You ain't testifying about 'nothin!!" BLAMM!!!

78 year old men are just peanuts for Cheney.

[Taxman]

Pepper sray? :?

[mario]

Why are a 78year old man and a man with a history of cardiac arrests out hunting? Do they want to kill themselves?

[Corpse Reign]

They were being carried on the shoulders of swarthy natives.
"Look, B'wana, a birdie upon which you may vent your imperial wrath!"

I've seen hunting on TV. There's not a lot of strenuous physical activity going on. :lol:

[NickT]

He best be careful, Jean CLaude Van Damme could be on his case!

[mario]

I've seen hunting on TV. There's not a lot of strenuous physical activity going on. :lol:

the sound of the gun alone could trigger a heart attack

on the other hand, they could be deaf already

[KAK]

Pepper sray? :?

"Peppered" with Birdshot, Birdshot is a light load of pellets from a shotgun, you'd have to be pretty close to kill someone with it

[ThisSpaceForRent]

"Cheney Shot And Injured Somebody In A Hunting Accident!"

...and blames it on Libby.

Cheney....the nation's biggest dick is also one of it's biggest pussies.

[Jamie Coville]

I have mixed feelings on this.

On one hand, one less lawyer in the world is a GOOD thing.

On the other, I don't mind seeing this guy sue Cheney's ass off over this.

[M. Sean McManus]

LOL! Damn, man. How can Cheney even hunt with his ticker?Extension cords, lots of them.

[Garth]

Sounds like W should have spent a lil more time with his V.P. playing Duck Hunt

[Jamie Howdeshell]

chickenhawks should never be allowed to touch guns.

:nonono2:

[Scotland Green]

Democrats accidently shoot people too!

Yeah but they have the sense to make it look like a suicide.

[Bill?]

this is exactly why this country need stricter gun control laws. we must get guns off the street and out of the hands of eldery rich white politicians!

[The Roman Candle]

It's official. After this, nothing in the world will ever be funny ever again.

Yes. But when we do it, they have the good taste to actually die.

I'm both disgusted and amused to see the Republican apologists try to make it look like the victim was at fault. It's about par for the course for them to shift blame, but for something as clear as this, it's just ridiculous.

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 said, according to the Associated Press.
...
"The vice president was concerned," said Mary Matalin, a Cheney adviser who spoke with him yesterday morning. "He felt badly, obviously. On the other hand, he was not careless or incautious or violate any of the [rules]. He didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to do."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/12/AR2006021200524.html

I used to go quail hunting in my less lazy days. I have never been instructed to signal where I am (aside from wearing bright fucking orange so everyone with sight is blinded by your presence). And if I ever pointed my gun, pulled the trigger, and ended up hitting someone I was hunting with, then yes, I would have been very fucking careless.

[Botelho]

I see Cheney was trying out his new method to fix social security.

[Yannick]

I guess he was trying to open a much needed debate on euthanasia...

:lol:

Really, this sounds like an accident that could have happened to anyone. It's one of the things that can happen when you go hunting. At least it was only a BB gun, and the guy will be fine. Could have been a lot worse.

[Alysha]

First thing I thought of was Anchorman. "Brick killed a guy!"

[NickBurgess]

We should have seen the warning signs. Cheney has been playing so many violent video games and listening to Marilyn Manson and staying locked in his room so much lately.

[Yannick]

VPs.... They'd need a bloody war to get their nerves out for chrissakes !!!
I blame it on television and boredom...

[Doug]

From a CNN article on this topic:
"I would shoot with Dick Cheney everywhere, anywhere, and not think twice about it," she (Katharine Armstrong owner of the ranch they were hunting on) said. But she said, "The nature of quail shooting ensures that this will happen. It goes with the turf."

link: http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/13/cheney/index.html

I think that if the nature of something "ensured" that people would get shot doing it, I wouldn't do that thing.

Haha. It is pretty much mandatory that you get SHOT IN THE CHEST & FACE WITH with a SHOTGUN.

So who wants to go huntin?

[Corpse Reign]

It is something of a landmark in that this is the first time a rich, white Texan has ever been harmed by any member of this administration,

[mattbrand]

"I would shoot with Dick Cheney everywhere"

Would you shoot with Dick Cheney in a box?

Would you shoot with Dick Cheney with a fox?

[Amos Moses]

I bet $10 that when Cheney pulled the trigger, he had that "evil grin" thing going on.

[deadboy]

Yeah but they have the sense to make it look like a suicide.


HAHA! Vince Foster.

HAHA! Vince Foster.

The Daily Show better nail this shit, or I'm gonna be pissed.

speaking of tinfoil hat shit-

Mind control book and Cheney's hunting accident
Trance-Formation of America is a bizarre 1995 "autobiography of a victim of government mind control" that you'll see referenced a lot among the tinfoil beanie conspiracy theory set. Today, Jeff Long posted about a particularly interesting bit from the book. From Trance-Formation of America, self-published by Cathy O'Brien in September 1995:

Dick Cheney, then [assistant] White House Chief of Staff to President Ford...was the reason my family had travelled to Wyoming where I endured yet another form of brutality - his version of "A Most Dangerous Game," or human hunting.... Dick Cheney had an apparent addiction to the "thrill of the sport." He appeared obsessed with playing A Most Dangerous Game as a means of traumatizing mind control victims, as well as to satisfy his own perverse sexual kinks.

[Dreg]

Hunting your fellow man for sport is as American as apple-gagged gimp buggering.

[Jastermereel]

So...given the absurdity of how this happened and the rather lengthy delay before it they reported it, I think we can finally look forward to an era where the right is no longer able to call Kennedy a dangerous drunk without getting smacked back hard.
