Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter

[MODU]

Anybody know if there is any criminal penalty for this? I know it was an accident but he shot a man.  At the very least, Cheney should have to pick up litter on the highway

No, there is no crime committed (hence the word accident).  As it turns out, the fault lies on the man who was shot, since he did not report to the firing line that he was in the vicinity after going out to fetch the two birds he shot.  This man might end up with an honorary Darwin Award at the end of the year.

Why is everyone making such a big deal out of this?

Because it's "Cheney."

hahaha . . . I love hearing the "scandal" that the DJ was mentioning on the radio over the fact that the WH didn't immediately inform the press of the accident.  hahaha

[MODU]

Isn't this at least as important as a blow job?

Nope.  Under Texas regulations, non-fatal hunting accidents do not have to be reported to the police, let alone to the press.

I love this quote from the Daily Commie:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Of course the 'pen' in this case was several hundred miles of Texas.

HAHAHAH . . . shows how "enlightened" they can be sometimes.

That's just because the doctors didn't get all the bits out of the patient.  Not uncommon with 'shot' injuries.  Normally, the shot doesn't go too deep into the skin (remember, we want to kill the bird, not obliterate it), which is why they can normally get most of it out with tweezers.  In this case, the shot entered into his heart, and the doctors didn't catch it.  End result, a mild heart attack.

He did.  The buckshot migrated to his heart.

And he was transferred out of ICU yesterday.

I was listening to O'Reilly on the radio for a minute (that is all I could stand). He says he couldnt belive how everyone was making a big deal out of it. He said that it didnt hurt a lot of people so we should just move on. Its funny how he was all over Bill Clinton in the scandal and that of course hurt  A LOT of people. Ugh, I hate that guy.

I disagree with his reasoning (as you have stated), but in reality, this isn't a big deal, or at least not as big of a deal as the media wishes to make it out to be.

Imagine if this was John Kerry. His approval rating would be about 5% after the media was done with him.

John Kerry served in the military and was trained as to how to handle a gun.

Don't worry, a lot of "veterans" would come out and say that he should have never passed gun training.

I think he took the training with Gore:

Just look at the way Democrats are treated. For instance this is a zillion times more important than that Sandy Burger thing.

*dies laughin*  You have to share what you are smoking with the rest of the class, son.
