Fellow Hero Hunter gives life to save VP
Feb 12 3:45 PM US/Eastern

Washington

Vice President Dick Chaney's life was saved today after a flock of wild quail attacked him.

Fellow hunter Harry Whittington, 78 standing nearby when a group of rabid quail suddenly and quite deliberately attacked the Vice President.

With total disregard for his own safety, Whittington, rushed to Chaney's aid and distracted the furious fowl. Pushing Mr. Chaney out of the way, Whittington, took the brunt of the attack.

Witnesses say that the poor man was pecked to death. The incident left Whittington with thousands of tiny "holes" all over his body from the beaks of the quail.

Later, Katharine Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong ranch stated, those quail can be quite tough, as evident from the outrageous display of their temperament.

Scotty McClellen at his Monday morning press briefing said that, "quails are now are number one enemy. Like pigeons, they can be trained and we have a firm belief that the ones that attacked the VP on Saturday, were al Queda trained. They will stop at nothing".

The quails are small, plump tasty terrorist trained birds. They are meat eaters, but will also take on politician's and similar small spineless prey. They nest in spider holes and caves.
