Is anybody listening to KGO radio? Cheney injured on huntung trip.

I'm listening to Michael Finney's show and they broke in to say VP Cheney had been injured on a huntung trip in Wyoming. They had no details but would break in again when they got more info!

he got some bad news from Fitzgerald this week?

All these neocons have been showing up crippled for their indictments. Maybe they are walking on aspen crutches?

No, wait. That was Johnny Cash.

MY BAD!



:evilgrin:

Get well soon, Mister Vice President. You need to be well enough to go to prison.

TOM LEHRER REVISITED
8. The Hunting Song
Almost every day during the hunting season you see at least one item in the newspapers about somebody who has shot somebody else, under the impression that he was a deer with a red hat, perhaps. Maybe a large flesh-colored squirrel. At any rate, it seems to me that this marks an encouraging new trend in the field of blood sports, and deserves a new type of hunting song which I present herewith.

I always will remember,
'Twas a year ago November,
I went out to hunt some deer
On a morning bright and clear.
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow:
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

I was in no mood to trifle,
I took down my trusty rifle
And went out to stalk my prey.
What a haul I made that day!
I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow:
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

The law was very firm, it
Took away my permit,
The worst punishment I ever endured.
It turned out there was a reason,
Cows were out of season,
And one of the hunters wasn't insured.

People ask me how I do it,
And I say "There's nothin' to it,
You just stand there lookin' cute,
And when something moves, you shoot!"
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now:
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred Guernsey cow.

*In the orchestral version of this song, the last two stanzas are repeated.

:bounce: ENJOY :bounce:

Wish he'd come out of retirement-- there's certainly more than enough insanity out there for him to riff on.

THat was an excellent reply.I am still laughing!!!

Cheney will resign for "health reasons"

Gotta groom the next king, after all.

:)

:popcorn:

Another thread said he shot someone else and injured the guy.

No word yet on the injured victim.

The thread in LBN has GREAT reply with info about the victim. DO check it out! Not just any good ol boy, but one involved with the scandal ridden TX funeral industry!

just also reported that Cheney accidentally shot a man while on a hunting trip.

Even by accident, that's really bad.

Pry that damn rifle out of his cold dead hands, that man shouldn't be allowed any where near weapons.

Shit, HE SHOT SOMEBODY!

Victim is okay. He's 78 years old. Happened yesterday during quail hunting trip in TX.

of the place they were all hunting. KGO just said Whittington is doing OK, and Cheney is at his bedside now.

What an ASS!!!!

My husband taucht me to hunt when we first me, 50 years ago! The FIRST thing he taught me was ALWAYS make sure you have a clean shot!

I can't believe Cheney was this damn stupid!

I don't know what is....

I was in the process of wondering if he was hunting with Scalia when the thread was locked, and questioning whether Gonzo would get his "shot" at the Supremes as a consequence.

Old Fat Tony dissed Roberts' swearing in ceremony. And hey, those guys play hardball....

The news is only getting out now, apparently:

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.

If Darth can go hunting for wabbit he most certainly can go to Iraq. Cheney likes to hunt because nothing fires back.

That'll be his excuse....

And got sidetracked from concentrating on his hunting.

You need to concentrate when you are handling those weapons of mass animal destruction.

Also, "Guns don't kill people, vice-presidents kill people."

See what happens when (war) criminals are allowed to have guns?

Now, the only thing we need to discover is who his dueling, er, hunting, partner was!

I'm pretty sure you had the first thread in LBN. Sorry to see the mods dumped you down here.

Just wanted to make sure you got credit for the catch.

Rather arbitrary, that....

since he will probably face some sort of criminal charge even if the shotting was accidental.

Sometimes I think it should be, but it's not. He was hunting with friends and had permission of the property owner. Even though Whittington is a lawyer, I guess he's also a friend of Unka Dick's.

News reporting is a bunch of gossip.. They don't bother to check out any story before spewing.

if anyone shot at Darth Cheney he could raise his black armored glove and deflect it
