Shooting a lawyer does make you a responsible gun owner. :)

It could have been worse, I suppose. Hasn't he gone hunting with Justice Scalia in the past?

Of couse, "worse" is entirely subjective. :)

I think this was practice for when he invites Breyer along.

I'm thinking he might have a hard time getting anyone to with him in the future.

I don't know about that....have you read many of Breyer's opinions?

Hmm, it would appear that Mr Cheney is far more dangerous than this one episode would suggest.


Also funny is the fact that during the 2004 election campaign, there were a number of conservatives and gun rights activists who were quick to comment on a photo that questioned Kerry's ability to safely handle a shotgun.

I just thought of something.
Maybe it's a good thing Cheney got out of going to Vietnam 5 times. Imagine the number of US soliders he would have shot if he went.
:D

Interestingly, it looks like this really isn't Cheney's fault. No one, including the victim, is disputing how this happened.

The vic left the hunting party. When you return to a hunting party, you are supposed to let everyone know you have returned. He did not. He was not in line of sight, and in fact was flanking Cheney. When the dogs flushed out the quail and they started flying, Cheney followed them along their flight route, which went directly toward the vic.

Cheney shot his lawyer friend. It's pretty obvious. The man didn't shoot himself. The man didn't put himself into intensive care.

I swear. Nothing is this Administration's fault.

It is Cheney's fault.

Guns don't shoot people. People shoot people. Unless you get shot by the vice president, then no one shot you.
Oy.

Cheney can't even apologize for the accident. Wouldn't want the vp on record for apologizing to someone. Cheney should have had an idea of where everyone was before he shot. You don't shoot unless everyone is behind you. He broke that rule.

Blame the victim. What the heck is that all about?
