Yeah. when monkeys fly out my rear.

Bush will say nope, because it would be a circus and drag every other political hack into the "discovery" process.

Can anyone say pardon.

It almost impossible to prosecute a hunting accident. We used to joke that if you wanted to take somebody out, and get away with it, take them hunting.

This one reminds me of the horrible medical examiner Bill Clinton retained in Arkansas, who ruled that Clinton's mother wasn't the cause of death of a crime victim so she could escape liability, even though she almost certainly was responsible for botching the victim's anesthesiology.

The medical examiner gave many incredible rulings, including that murder victims committed suicide and that one victim's head could not be studied because it was eaten by a dog. The family exhumed the body, finding head intact. the examiner was supposed to be fired but instead got a raise from - Jocelyn Elders.

So if the hunter dies, Cheney just needs a medical examiner on the take, like Clinton had. The media covers up such evil for democrats, it's amazing.

He must be trolling for clients...


David Finn, Fort Worth Texas criminal defense lawyer concentrating in drunk driving (DWI), possession of drugs and other controlled substances

attorney David Finn was selected by his fellow lawyers as a "Texas Super Lawyer"

Dallas personal injury lawyer, David Finn concentrating in wrongful death, medical malpractice, premises liability and defective products cases.


******


From the age of 10, Judge David Finn knew he was destined to become a lawyer. His father, Dallas lawyer Frank Finn took him on a business trip to Washington, D.C. where David was planted in the front row of a large, crowded room and was told by his father, "keep your eyes and ears open and you’ll learn something – this is history." So, for a week, he watched the Watergate hearings. That week motivated him to become a trial lawyer.

He majored in politics and minored in Latin American Studies

Judge Finn says that he learned his most valuable lessons about being a judge before he was even sworn in, when he stayed home for nine months to care for his one-year old son, Liam, so that his wife Melissa, who received her B.A. from Texas A&M and her M.A. from the Columbia School of Journalism, could go back to work as editor at The Associated Press in Dallas.

If you do something stupid and somebody dies as a result, you could be prosecuted for negligent homicide, whether your name is Dick Cheney the Veep or Joe Blow the ragpicker. This is a sound principle, but (as I noted) is being used to whip up witless hype by the author.

Our press secretary caved in to that prick reporter Gregory. If Gregory talked to me like that, I would permanently ban him from the White House!

Doctors said they are highly optimistic he will recover.

Normal people's reaction: Thank God! MSM reaction: Oh, damn!

If he lives to age 98 they will claim that Cheney shortened his life.

"If the man wounded by Dick Cheney dies, the vice president could -- in theory at least -- face criminal charges, even though the shooting was an accident."

I have no problem with this. Cheney and, any hunter, is 100% responsible for his shot. It was negligent not accidental.

Shouldn't the Associated Press disclose the fact that David Finn, Fort Worth Texas criminal defense lawyer, who they name in this article as the "expert" is married to Melissa, editor at The Associated Press in Dallas?!

The vodka market will be just fine, but Scotch sales will plummet.

I do not agree that he could face negligent homicide charges.

One first has to demonstrate negligence. If the other hunter was the one who got out of line, then he was the negligent one and not Cheney.

Every friendly fire incident has someone who has turned up where they ought not be. The question is "who?"
