Well, it may show he's not much of a sportsman and one could even deduce that it should be banned,but making the quantum leap to say that the man(our current Vice President) is mentally unbalanced because of it ,begs the reader to wonder as to the mental stability of the source. <br /><br />I would expect a barrage of comments if I had made such a claim.

ROTFLMAO! <br /><br />Rodbolt, you left your bit about South American political skullduggery out of your response, and said nothing about the US forcing the Middle Easterners to sell us their oil at gunpoint. You're slippin', ol' bud.

Note to self: Never accept an invite to go hunting with VP. Chaney or accept a car ride from Senator Ted Kennedy.

Cheney probably learned to shoot in the service!<br /><br />I wonder if Scooter Libby was on the big hunt. That might explain a few things...

I know that the VP is Against Gun Control,..........<br /><br />But,............................................................................... <br /><br />I, Like Most of Us,......<br />Still believe that Gun Control begins with Hitting What You're Shooting At..............

Re: Breaking News!!!!!(Vice pres. shoots Lawyer)

the owner of the ranch (Katharine Armstrong) was watching - from cnn.com:<br /><br />

...Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail.<br /><br />Whittington shot a bird and went to retrieve it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey.<br /><br />Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Armstrong said.<br /><br />"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."<br />

So is it: 1) the Vice President lost his orientation of where he was in relation to Whittington, whom he knew was there; or b) he swung all the way round (the man "came up from behind"), to where he didn't know what was in his line of fire.<br /><br />It was a 28-gauge shotgun at 30 yards. All the hunters were wearing orange vests.
