Is it my imagination or did the media already spend more time on Cheney than all the beheadings?

Here's the untold stories that the White House is withholding:

Quail: 'lawyer season!'
Lawyer: 'quail season!'
Quail: 'lawyer season!'
Lawyer: 'quail season!'
Quail: 'quail season!'
Lawyer: 'Lawyer season!'
Cheney: BOOM!

As hunting accidents go, Cheney's is not unusual

Perhaps not but, as usual, the DMN is among the first to print yesterday's news. There is no "here" here, but the dinomedia refuses to let this mildly titillating story go.

Guess there isn't anything in Iraq or Iran to drive them into a new feeding frenzy.

Why the big deal by the news? The press is PO'd because their elites were not told first and no reporter was invited
on the private hunting trip.

Frankly, it would be a riot if a MSM reporter was hit by birdshot.

"I'm sympathetic to the vice president and his hunting companion," said Dr. Rollins. "Every experienced quail hunter has had a close call. To quote the hunter safety instructors, however, hunting safety is no accident."

Most quail hunters around here shrug their shoulders and wonder what all the fuss about?  Happens all the time, they'll tell you.

Bet the guys and gals on the receiving end of bird shot sure wished it didn't, though.

The question that I have is why didn't the Secret Service spot Whittington and advise Cheney?

Napoleon shot out one of his marshal's eyes. I think it was Marshal Massena. It was a hunting accident as well.

Can we PUH-LEASE put a stop to this silliness?!? We are fighting Canada geese off the golf courses, prairie dogs from outside our homes, and deer from our lawns.

Not to mention the stray dogs that someone didn't want anymore. Give it a rest, people!! The gun VP Cheney was using was standard, and he was using the shells that are standard for quail. Not very powerful...quail are tiny, they are good eating, and you don't want to tear them up with major shot. In my opinion, more trouble than they're worth to clean and prepare for eating! Not a lot of meat.

When I hear about the horses, cattle, and other LARGE animals that are being slaughtered (and you do NOT want to know how it's done) for meat here and in foreign countries, this silliness over Cheney's accident is typical liberal, "oh BOY! we've got him now!" crap.

Until you have been bird-hunting, know how to use a shotgun, and have a bird dog who knows what he's doing, please refrain from further comment. Or, if you prefer, please visit us here in the Texas Panhandle and see how we take care of prairie dogs.

This, of course, is being addressed ONLY to vegans who eat nothing but carrots, broccoli, and whatever other plants they can find. If you are a meat-eater, please disregard.
