Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter
AP, Slightly emblished by SBR_John - 1 hour, 37 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally(so he claims) shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying(squirt-squirt!) the fellow hunter in the face(gross) and chest with shotgun blasts(Dick may not be a spring chicken but he got some pressure in them pipes by God). Harry "Potter" Whittington, a millionaire tax cheat attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine and hoping that Big Dick does not visit him" said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner. Cheney was quoted as saying "..we had a slight dissagreement over campaign finance but I think Harry sees it my way now. If not, I have invited him deer hunting with me...just him and me. I'm looking forward to it."

Quail hunting is my favorite hunt. But these old geisers were in a truck looking for birds. Where I come from, which is the same state they were hunting in; Texas, that is illegal.

Quail hunting is very dangerous but like this case is rarely fatal.

I think Cheney should go shooting next weekend with Bush. And he should use a big fcuking Uzi to ensure he does a proper job this time.

Damn, seems like your hold back a bit Taco. Tell everyone how you feel.

If the Patriot Act has been recently extended and now encompasses the monitoring of offshore gambling internet forums then I would just like to clarify that the "big fcuking Uzi" should only be used to be a more effective weapon against the quails. I certainly did NOT mean that it would be a more effective way of blowing Bush's head off.

I hope that this matter is now clear.

All this joking around is just a cover-up.

The truth is there was CIA intelligence indicating that the guy who got shot in the face had WMD's hidden in his sock drawer at home. Cheney was just doing his patriotic duty.

But when they finally searched the guy's dresser, it turned out to be fungus powder.

"Now I understand why Dick Cheney keeps asking me to go hunting with him," Jim Brady said in a statement. "I had a friend once who accidentally shot pellets into his dog -- and I thought he was an idiot."

Meanwhile, doctors say 78-year-old Whittington is making a speedy recovery, but will likely walk out of the hospital with most of the shrapnel the vice president gave him, reports CBS News correspondent Lee Cowan.

"To go ahead and take each BB or pellet out, sometimes the treatment is worse than the affliction," said Dr. David Blanchard. "So many times we'll just leave them be."

To paraphrase The Daily Show:

In this post 9/11 world, Cheney had a duty to shoot that guy in the face. To not shoot him in the face would have sent a message to the quail that America is weak.
