Wonder why if it happened yesterday it's just being reported today?
It was a beeber message - to the Iran VP.
I wonder if this Whittington is associated with the Whittington Center of the NRA out west--Arizona, I think?
Great new tagline!
He shot a laywer.... that ought to be a plus???
This is going to be a big deal I am guessing....
Hopefully it was steel shot, the lead shot can be hazardous to your health. :)
According to Fox News, this actually happened on Saturday.
pretty detailed article here about the incident. Even AP is making it sound like no big deal. They did manage to slip in a picture of Cheney with a rifle in hand though. Jerks.

Fox says big adieu about nothing
Dick, Dick! Sigh.
Lawyer season ended!!
You are not supposed to hunt them till Law Day, May First. They are fat and plump by then, and have not started the Breeding Season.
(Ever try to CLEAN one of those things, though??)
Ouch! That had to hurt.
Glad no one was killed, though.
The 78 year-old must have forgotten everything he ever learned in Hunter Safety Class.
And Rove is sitting in his chair laughing at everyone because, once again, another of his plots has shifted the MSM's focus.
I haven't seen any reports outlining exactly what happened, but it's a cinch that somebody did something stupid. People making light of it is to be expected, I guess, but there's absolutely no excuse for a hunting "accident." In almost every case, there was negligence on somebody's part. It's fortunate that the guy wasn't killed or seriously hurt--it does happen, even with birdshot if the victim is unlucky enough to be hit in the wrong place. This could have been a real tragedy, not to mention a black eye for the administration.
And before anybody jumps on me, I've been a hunter all my life. I have a cardinal rule that I don't hunt with people who are unsafe, and right now I'd have serious doubts about whether I'd want to be in a hunting party with some of these people. Flame away.
"wish to hell it had been Ahmadinejad rather than Whittington I was hunting with"!
If they are properly COOKED!
No great loss. The guy he shot was a lawyer.
Proof positive that Cheney does not believe in gun control ;-)
