That sort of thing is probably about the most common firearms-related cause of death around here. Seems like American hunters aren't much better at telling deer from people.

Re: Cheney is not so bad afterall
He wasn't hunting deer....
O well, seems like 'some' people decide to ruin a perfectly valid threat. Nice going guys... doc bean
Re: Cheney is not so bad afterall
I know that, and it's beside the point. Besides, as deers are about the only animal commonly hunted that can reasonably be confused with humans by size and such, that's actually a demerit...

No thats for journalists and traffic wardens .
Politicians and lawyers carry a bit more clout so adjust your shot size accordingly .
Re: Cheney is not so bad afterall
Ah, thanks for the tips!

Don't want to throw cold water on the levity, but apparently the victim has suffered a minor heart attack after one of the pellets got into his heart. Poor guy.
Re: Cheney is not so bad afterall
According to his doctor Harry Whittington is sitting upright, eating solid food and wondering what all the 'hoopla' is about. Apparently even Cheney's own buddies are getting used to friendly fire...

Re: Cheney is not so bad afterall
Well, it is pretty clear that the White House Press Corps really does have their collective panties all in a wad over this.
As an issue, its...not. Dumb hunting accident with a less than lethal result (Thank God). Do the investigation and level charges when/if relevant.
However, the Bush admininstration (and Cheney in particular) are paying the price for their general relationship with the press. The 4th estate is collectively ticked at the Bush team because the Bush team generally prefers to reveal nothing about the White House canteen breakfast menu and even less than that on key issues like who's ordering the most paperclips.
In other words, the Bush administration tries to say nothing about anything substantive unless its fait accompli or it has been public knowledge for a while. Their relationship with the Press is antagonistic at best. The Press corps, at least somewhat understandably, loathes this approach to media relations and is more than willing to take its shots at any opportunity.
Just think, with only a little more effort the USA can be just as politically viscious and polarized as it was at the end of the 18th century....right about the same time the least sitting VP shot someone (BTW, a little reading on the Adams v Jefferson era of American politics is instructive -- the current "split" is nowhere near as mean as it was then).

Re: Cheney is not so bad afterall
If there were any lingering doubts about Fox serving as the "Mommy" network for the Bush administration, those doubts were laid to rest when Cheney went to that network (and only that network) to take softball questions from Brit Hume. The scramble to paint Cheney - the shooter - as the traumatized victim of what he called "one of the worst days of my life" knows no bounds.

Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's "Daily Show" showed a color-coded threat level chart like that used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, saying that, based on lawyer Harry Whittington's heart attack, "we're going to downgrade the condition of the story from 'Incredibly Hilarious' to 'Still funny, but, mmm, now a little sad.' "
