Probably figured that he's gotten away with everything else so far; might as well "cap" things off with a, er, "bang."

 

"Open season, motherfucker! 'Cause I'm Dick Cheney, bitch!"

[ZimZam]

See what happens when dick's get their hands on a gun. "Hi, I'm the NRA."

[Choada_Boy]

Nothing beats hunting human.

[griz]

I think the hunting story is just a cover up for what really happened...

 

 

Lord Cheney tried to turn the good Jedi Harry to the Dark Side. Jedi Harry refused and a great battle ensued.

 

... but Good Jedi Harry was no match for Lord Cheney and his minions...and was shot in the end.

 

 

 

 

 

[EWolfe]

They were Quayle-hunting?

 

Maybe Dan was shooting back.

[Dru]

If Cheney was shot in the head, would anyone notice?

[griz]

The story gets darker...this just off the wire...

 

Cheney posing with his trophy lawyer...

 

[TerminatorX]

Nice to see they're already blaming the victim . . .

[marylou]

If Cheney was shot in the head, would anyone notice?

 

Oh yes, he's not the stupid one, he's the crafty one.

 

(See spin on it being the victim's fault for details)

[Dru]

If he had a birthmark on his dome he could pretend to be Gorby.

[Chriznitch]

I think he shot this guy:

 

[cj001f]

Lord Cheney

And apt turn of phrase for the man who likes to shoot 50+ phaesants at a time in driven canned hunts.

[underworld]

it's better than shooting 50+ peasants

[John Frieh]

 

Gator is a daddy!?!?

[scratchandsniff]

Guy probably was takin trash about how great Hillary was and how much he wanted to bang her and how she'd be an awesome pres.....an ...an ...... look what happens.

 

See...?

 

Me to. I'd bang her. I'm getting a bone just thinking of it.

[DirtyHarry]

Shoot first, maybe ask some questions, er ... later.

 

I don't know if Cheney's hunting strategy is an extension of his foreign policy, or vice-versa?

[Peter_Puget]

[Dechristo]

A tempest in a teacup.

 

I am pissed that the shooting of lawyers is allowed only to high government officials.

[DirtyHarry]

I can't believe it took this long for someone to make a lawyer joke.

[TerminatorX]

To borrow a line from Tricky Dick . . .

"When the [vice] president does it, its not illegal"

[Stefan]

Meanwhile under the White House administration:

 

On Monday, Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta chided Spears as "irresponsible" for driving with her baby son on her lap and announced a new initiative to improve child car seat safety.

 

Ummm...tell me the priorities here? We did not know the accident happened on Saturday, but somebody in the White House admin tells us their opinion on Britney and we know that on the same day?

[KFed]

Yo, Stefan, back up off my cash flow! Sure she's stupid, hell, she married me! But everyone knows that Britney News travels faster than light! My girl got it goin on!

[EWolfe]

Neither of them had hunting tags at the time of the incident.

[griz]

It's not as bad as that but yeah,pretty funny and not good,for sure... from the NY times:

 

"In a statement on Monday night, Mr. Cheney's office said a member of his staff had asked the Parks and Wildlife Department for all of the necessary permits for the vice president to go quail hunting in Texas and had paid $140. But, the statement said, the staff member was not informed of the need for an additional stamp, costing $7, to allow hunting of upland game birds.

 

It said Mr. Cheney has now sent a $7 check to the department."

 

In some ways, some states are pretty loose w/ laws about hunting/fishing on private property too. Public land is a different story though.
