WASHINGTON - Vice President **** Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday. <br /><br />Harry Whittington, 78, was “alert and doing fine” after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong. <br /><br />Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance. <br /><br />Cheney's 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.

No big deal really... If any of you ever hunted quail or dove for awhile... You will get sprayed with pellets too. Media... They will try too make a big deal with it?

John F Kerry is a traitor to the United States. And his actions were intentional, not accidental, so it's not exactly the same thing. Is it?

Trent, I've hunted quail all my life but never been sprayed, shot, or anything else. If you have, something's not working for you.<br /><br />I have been rained on with shot while dove hunting, but that's not like being shot and having to seek medical attention.

Too bad, but as mentioned, it was just a lawyer and the only thing Cheney hit all day. In Texas the limit is four lawyers and two judges per day, so at least he is legal;) Now I understand why I see people out hunting using an ambulance for wheels :rolleyes:

Rod I have ben drenched many times while hunting dove, not dirrectly shot, you know some one a couple of hundred yards away takes a high shot and the pellits come raining down, dont hurt,, I do ware shooting glases I guess you could have eye dammage if you were looking where the shot fell from.<br /> But I agree If someone burned me with a shot, their day is over and they aint hunting on my place any more.<br /> I told my boys and my nephews from a young age If I caught them intentionaly pointing a gun at someone, I would break it over the bumper of my truck. I havent had to break one yet. When the kids were young some of thier frinds who came out to hunt had to leave, and werent welcome to come back.

No. No one made “fun” of Kerry. That was the real Kerry in all of his shine brilliance, or lack there of. Pretty much been that way with all of the presidential candidates the democrats/communists (same thing) have offered us the last couple of elections...idiots.

actually I lost all repect for Cheney and his character after that PA hunt where he shot over 70 penned pheasants and a bunch of penned mallards. thats not hunting its just killing and should be banned. it shows the man is not mentally balanced.

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

Trent, yes other groups have "rained" us, but me nor my buddies ever rained each other. usually it was someone hunting on Govt land that had not properly checked in and was behind a ridge shooting.<br />however I tended to be very observant of my "buddies" and those that were not safe I never hunted with again. one or two I quit and went back to the truck.<br />its not my partners responsibility to tell me his location before I swing and shoot. its my responsibility to know where everything is and have a clear target part before flicking the safty and placing a finger on the trigger.<br /> cheney forgot or ignored basic rules. again.

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. :confused: <br /><br />I would expect a barrage of comments if I had made such a claim. :rolleyes:

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

cant help ya ob.<br /> what other conclusion can you draw from someone who likes to kill for the sake of killing,<br /> there is no sport in shooting penned birds, even the most rabid iboaters will most likly support me on this, <br /> by the way, whats the limit on pheasant per day in PA?
