Cheyney is aleady a lightning rod, this didn't do any damage. What? Was he going to win over Jon Stewart any day now?

The victim wasn't a personal friend. It looked like this was the first time they'd met.

Just heard on the local FOX news channel

...Cheney is the 3rd VP to shoot somebody.

1) Aaron Burr, under Jefferson, shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in that famous duel
2) Richard Johnson under somebody...shot a famous Indian Chief.

Sorry about my short term memory...what was I saying?

Jim Brady said in a statement

Huuummm, I thought Jim Brady could only say "ACCCKKK< ARRRGGGHUL". He must've made a miraculous recovery since I last saw him.

Wolf Blitzer just said he doesn't think the VP knows the severity of the accident because he could have shot an eye out and I can't help to think of The Christmas Story,"you'll shoot your eye out".

If it were Ted Kennedy doing the shooting, you know we would be having a field day with this.

Teddy doesn't shoot, does he? That's a redneck exercise, or so I thought.

If it were Teddy doing the shooting, that's the angle I'd want to explore.

Wow. If you have been shot ten times you really should consider getting new shooting/hunting partners. Yes accidents will happen. But guns are not toys. Repeated accidents of that nature would suggest to me that somewhere here there is a lack of respect for firearms safety.

Not to get too technical, but Mary Jo didn't drown, she suffocated in the air pocket of the car as she waited for help to arrive.

Then I was misinformed. I did understand correctly that Mr. Whittington is a longtime Republican, though, yes?

When Harry got off the cart he said "Dick I'm behind ya". The Veep must have heard "I'm Adam Clymer".

I can't wait until the victim here comes out and says it was his own fault. The cover up conspiracy talk will go into hyper meltdown insanity.

I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney than take a car ride with Ted Kennedy.

I have an intense need to steal that and make it a tagline in some form!

"Yeah. How do we know that there is even any such person as "Harry Whittington?"

Actually, there isn't. It was a quail dressed up as Whittington and Cheney took a preemptive shot before he could fly away.

This quote could be used as a case-study for why liberal radio is a failure. Frankin's joke has to be explained by the reporter because no one in his audience is well-enough informed to get it on their own.

I was asked about this first thing this morning at work (my coworkers know I'm a conservative). I said the guy he shot was a lawyer, so I wasn't getting too excited over the incident. :-)

The single most tragic shooting in U.S. history. President Hamilton would have been a gold standard benchmark for the ages.

Incidently, what exactly ARE the Brady's day jobs these days?

Hell if I know.
