"Friendly Fire" Takes On New Meaning As Dick Cheney Clocks Companion

Posted on Monday, February 13 at 15:54 by BC Mary
A spokesman for the hospital said he was not seriously injured and described his condition as "stable". A witness, Katharine Armstrong, said Mr Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Mr Cheney and a third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second flock. She said: "Whittington came up from behind the Vice-President and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article345179.ece

    I've been dying to use this all day:

    I didn't realize it was open season on Lawyers. Did he have a license for them? I'd never hunt them. The pelts are useless. Plus, I think it's mating season, so the meat may be gamie.

    And I've been dying to use this: if only Ol' Dick Cheney had gone
    out hunting with George W. Bush that day, eh?

    Dr. Caleb and BC Mary yours are both funnier than "They don't call him Dick for nothing" which is all the thought I put into it.

    Oh I think they're all great! But they are claiming now that they found the weapon of mass destruction...they just didn't know it was one person(and so close to home)....turns out he didn't have a license and had to send in his $7.00 to make up for that as well.

    Lots of fun in the morning news. They say "Dead-Eye Dick" put
    200 holes in his friend.

    Also "feathers are flying" in Washington because news of this
    friendly fire wasn't released for 24 hours and then, only via a
    bystander who told a local Texas newspaper.

    And no licence? Hahahaha ... As in Licence to Ventillate Friends?
    All this for Valentine's Day, eh?

    "Honestly, I don't know why he was wearing that chicken suit in the middle of the forest, your Honour."

    Yea, bird shot can be nasty stuff. Barley sized grains can do a bit of damage.

    The first rule of hunting, know what you're shooting at. This is why I won't go into the bush, if I know there are Americans within 50 miles. Cheney is obviously a very dangerous man in the forest.

    Except to ducks.

    They're saying that Dead-Eye Dick would do it again exactly the
    same way, given the same circumstances. He says he knew there
    were quail in those bushes which had to be shot. How was he to
    know that a 78-year-old lawyer was not one of those small
    feathered birds?

    I guess he confused 'pheasant' with 'peasant'.
