Maybe the blood lust came out again?

But Cheney would never do that for us.

Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of last week duck hunting together at a private camp in southern Louisiana, just three weeks after the court agreed to take up the vice president's appeal in lawsuits over his handling of the administration's energy task force, the Los Angeles Times says in its Saturday editions.

While Scalia and Cheney are avid hunters and longtime friends, several experts in legal ethics questioned the timing of their trip and said it raised doubts about Scalia's ability to judge the case impartially, the newspaper pointed out.

But Scalia rejected that concern Friday, telling the Times, "I do not think my impartiality could reasonably be questioned." . . .

For nearly three years, Cheney has been fighting demands that he reveal whether he met with energy industry officials, including Kenneth Lay when Lay was chairman of Enron, while Cheney was formulating the president's energy policy, the Times explains.

Poor Anton won't be able to apologize to Cheney for getting in the way of his bullets.

Of course, this is all speculation at this point.
Unlike Duck Hunting where one sits quietly in a blind, Quail hunting (unless it is a canned hunt like Cheney prefers) can be very strenuous,
involving long hikes through rough brush, up and down hills. It is really not an activity
for Seniors with Blood Pressure or Heart problems.

My mind jumped to Dan Quayle. Why would anyone bother hunting him?

I heard on the BBC that Bush had been criticized by conservationist groups for shooting quail and for a moment I thought that he'd shot his Vice President!
