See Dick. Run! (Hunting Accident and Incident Report)

The Smoking Gun ^ | 2/13/06 | na

[Graymatter]

I just read a transcript of the press briefing about the accident, here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/02/20060213-4.html

One reporter actually asked, "Scott, would this be much more serious if the man had died?"

[tubebender]

Not with a 28 gauge for sure...

[nopardons]

Oh yes, the MSM are giving Cheney the bird, in spades; stupidly.

---an Italian-made Perazzi .28-caliber shotgun---

That guy is lucky he wasn't killed. I hear those are really powerful and dangerous guns. Maybe we need special gun legislation to keep them out of the wrong hands. :^)

OHH Peach I saw that STUPID Ron Prescott Reagan

[clawrence3]

Since the Smoking Gun.com has released his home address and the MSM are going to be camped out there now, the least we could do is send him a get-well bouquet:

3201 Greenlee Drive
Austin, TX

In 2001, Hillary's motorcade ran over a policeman. And didn't stop.

And, that wasn't just any policeman. He was a security guard at a back gate security checkpoint at the Westchester County Airport in October 2001, right after 9/11.

Italian-made Perazzi .28-caliber shotgun

Ok, being only moderately knowledgeable about firearms, can someone tell me what this is? I've never heard of a shotgun referred to in calibers.

[clawrence3]

The incident report unfortunately had one line under Misc. for "caliber" - see link above.

[sasquatch]

Pretty; very pretty. Hmmmmm

Drudge is reporting that Cheney is paying for the bird stamp nonetheless ; )

http://www.drudgereport.com/flash9.htm

"It has been brought to the Vice President’s attention by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department this afternoon that, although he had acquired a 125 dollar Texas non-resident season hunting license, he lacked a 7 dollar stamp for hunting upland game birds. To address any questions about the licensing:

-- A member of the Vice President’s staff wrote a check for 140 dollars understanding that this would purchase a Texas non-resident season hunting license that would permit the Vice President to hunt quail in Texas. It appears now that the license itself cost 125 dollars, and an extra 15 dollars covered the cost of a Federal migratory bird stamp. The Vice President did not need the Federal stamp, as he already possessed one.

-- The staff asked for all permits needed, but was not informed of the 7 dollar upland game bird stamp requirement.

-- Because the requirement is new, the Department has informed us that it is issuing warnings, and the Vice President expects to receive one. He will take whatever steps are needed to comply with applicable rules.

-- In the meantime, the Vice President has sent a 7 dollar check to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, which is the cost of an upland game bird stamp."

With the meds. he probably takes I would doubt very seriously that he ever drinks any kind of alcohol.

I hear those are really powerful and dangerous guns. Maybe we need special gun legislation to keep them out of the wrong hands.

Hey, if we ban $100,000 shotguns, then only the criminals will have them!

[clawrence3]

Not about to stop Ron P(ENIS) Reagan though.

[SwinneySwitch]

".28-caliber shotgun"

I quit reading here! Don't they realize this is only slightly larger than a .22 caliber rifle?

[PeskyOne]

It's too late, Peach. He's already silly enough! Someone needs to take a board to his behind and pop his brains back where they belong. His brains must have also fallen when he was falling out of his pirouettes. He treated his parents with disrespect, and then he capitalizes on their names by aiding and abetting their enemies....the MSM! If his name wasn't Ron Reagan, you would never have heard of this talentless unattractive person IMO.

In Texas, there were 30 accidents and two hunting deaths last year, according to the state Parks and Wildlife Department. National figures kept by the International Hunter Education Association show 744 shooting accidents, with 74 deaths, in 2002, the last year for which figures were available. Twenty-six accidents involving quail hunting were reported.

The association estimates there are 15.7 million hunters who will spend about 250 million days hunting in the United States this year.

Associated Press writers Nedra Pickler, Elizabeth White in Washington, T.A. Badger in Sarita, Texas, and Lynn Brezosky in Corpus Christi contributed to this report.

[clawrence3]

An average of 16 days per hunter? I also noticed from that story that the other hunter in Cheney's group was Pamela Willeford, the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland.

[Rte66]

I wonder which of the deputies or writers caught Whittington "collaborating" with Mr Cheney on the story.

In an interview with deputies, Whittington "collaborated Vice President Cheney's statement ...

I do wish that he merely "corroborated" it.

[girlangler]

I watched the briefing on TV, and laughed like crazy when I heard that.

Sounded like wishful thinking on the reporter's part. That briefing today was something to see -- absolute proof these so called impartial journalists are anything but!!!

Also, one asked if Cheney was going to resign -- and Scott laughed before answering.

You should have seen Helen the hag's face.

These people are despicible.
