Cheney Challenges Hillary to Hunting Contest

One day after Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton professed an abiding affection for guns and hunting, her love of firearms came under attack from another sometime hunter in Washington.

Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, Vice President Dick Cheney said that a hunting contest between him and the New York senator was "the only way" to determine whether Sen. Clinton's tales of her gun prowess were for real.

"To be frank, Hillary Clinton's stories about her adventures with guns don't exactly pass the smell test," the vice president told host Tim Russert. "If she really wants to show that she knows how to handle a rifle, there's an easy way to do that: meet me in the woods."

While some in the Clinton campaign expressed concern about their candidate accepting Mr. Cheney's challenge, the idea of a hunting contest got the ringing endorsement of one member of her inner circle, former president Bill Clinton.

"Dick Cheney and Hillary in the woods with guns?" President Clinton said at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh. "Boy, I like the sound of that."

IDK.... maybe he does.

:eyes:

Everyone knows that Cheney only does canned hunts.

A drunken VP that shoots his best friend in the face on a mock hunting trip wants to challenge one of our Dems to a hunt off?

She's one of the guys.

If I were Sarah Brady, I'd make Cheney "Exhibit A."

Remember what happened to this guy:

On Sunday, HuffPo published Andy's story, Cheney Challenges Hillary to Hunting Contest.

The Boston Herald, apparently believing the story to be true, published it as a straight news story. Read the account of it here.

The Herald, realizing that it's bad to publish fake news as real news, published this highly understated correction (after pulling the story off their website):
