Quail Hunt
Yeah so I'm sure you all have heard by now that our famed VP has shot a man in the face by accident. Anyways while I initially thought it was humorous since the man the dark lord shot was not killed, I am no longer finding it so funny.
Cheney shoots at quail, hits hunting companion
Cheney shoots at quail, hits hunting companion
"Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a 78-year-old hunting companion during a weekend quail hunting trip after the man went to retrieve a bird and Cheney failed to spot him."Seems there might have been some sort of cover up to try to pin the shooting on someone else in the hunting party, so as to avoid the embarrassment of reporting that the VP had shot the man.
"The accident was not reported publicly by the vice president's office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after it was reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on its website Sunday.Something smells fishy. It doesn't surprise me, this administration thinks it is above the law. Oh well. I bet Cheney didn't take a drug and alcohol test, which is customary in a accidental shooting case. Eh no big, he's the VP, he can get away with murder.
McBride said the vice president's office did not tell reporters about the accident Saturday because they were deferring to Armstrong to handle the announcement of what happened on her property.
Armstrong said everyone at the ranch was so 'focused' on Whittington's health Saturday that it wasn't until Sunday she called the Caller-Times to report the accident. Her ranch is about 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi."
