So far, only ABCNews.com is reporting it as a bulletin, with more information to come.
I post this because I know most people here hate Bush and Cheney and I want to give them the kind of news they want to hear.

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.[/QUOTE] God forbid if the lawyer didn't show, huh? LOL |

Contrary to popular belief, some of us "Bush and Cheney haters" don't see the Vice President shooting a fellow hunter as "good news".

This happens, particularly in this sort of hunting. Thats why I prefer solitary hunting.

It happens if you're careless enough to spin around and shoot without knowing where the other members in your party are. And if you're hunting alone, you must be hunting birds or small game. Moose, bear, caribou and sheep can't really be hunted by a single person, no way to carry all the meat out yourself. |

Seems like everyone who hates them loves hearing negative news. Why stop now? It's not good news for anyone who dislikes Cheney because nothing major is going to come of it. Other than maybe a few irrelevant cheap shots by clowns like Al Franken. If there was some kind of law being broken, regardless of how many people it hurt, and he had to resign as a result, plenty of people would be loving it. Besides, it's only a matter of time before someone comes up with the conspiracy theory to go along with this. The guy he shot probably knows that the Iraq war was lied about just so Halliburton would get contracts out of it. And he recently threatened to go to the media, so obviously Cheney just tried to silence him. I mean, it's obvious, the Internet says so. _____________________

Not what I would call "small game", and yes, they can be carried out by a single person. I've done it several times. _____________________

Honestly, this thread was started to create an argument between the left and right... why are you all surprised it came out that way?
And over hunting... good lord who cares? So he shot a guy by accident... it happens, get over it and stop trying to bait people. _____________________

All true, but it's more entertaining than talking about the same things over and over again. Sorry!

Like cute little mini-elks. And, yep, I'd call 'em small game. Bison, bear, moose are large game. I guess it's all about where you live. |

Wow, sounds like a conspiracy theory about conspiracy theories. No informed person is going to think that the Vice President of the United States shot a hunting partner as part of a conspiracy. Why would he bother? He could have the President label the man an enemy combatant and have him secretly detained. And after a few years of being held incommunicado the man would be released and charged on some minor offense. Heck, it's worked before. On another note, if the White House went around shooting all the people who believed the President lied about the war in Iraq, most Americans would be recovering from shot gun wounds as I write this. |

I've hunted bear before, and I don't care for the taste... And I don't hunt anything I don't plan to eat. I'm not up for paying for a trip halfway to the middle of canada to hunt anything else. _____________________

When I made my comment, I meant that it wasn't "good news" to the person Cheney shot. As for possible "conspiracy theories", its still too early to make a case either way. |

Naturally it was an accident.
Everyone knows Dick Cheney is a 700 year old vampire. If he was going to kill anyone intentionally it would be to drain their blood so that he can live another century.  _____________________

Theoreticly even higher than 250, but you're talking pretty damn big for your average whitetail at that point. _____________________

He has a freaking ambulance with him at all times. (Which came in handy today) How do you explain his ability to defy death? When you are 98 years old and Dick Cheney is still around, you will believe the then. _____________________

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 /U.S. Newswire/ -- James and Sarah Brady made comments today related to Vice President Cheney's reportedly accidental shooting yesterday in Texas. "Now I understand why Dick Cheney keeps asking me to go hunting with him," said Jim Brady. "I had a friend once who accidentally shot pellets into his dog - and I thought he was an idiot." "I've thought Cheney was scary for a long time," Sarah Brady said. "Now I know I was right to be nervous." no conspiracy Dick Cheney is just a big, reckless with other humans, idiot _____________________
