Oh great - just give the liberal news vultures the best possible feed ever. And late night comedy just thanked their lucky stars.

Is it Cheney or the other guy?

It's the other guy. Yahoo/AP's first headline was wrong and they have corrected it.

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.

Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.

Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.

Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

It means it's going to be a punchline all week long on every talk show in the country.

I thought it was pretty self explanatory.

Cheney told Dean to 'walk on ahead and flush out some birds'.
