i am curious as to how much the logistics of carrying out a hunting or golf, etc.. trip w/ secret service an all costs. When bush and cheney are out galavanting around w/ their republican buddies, i am sure that the taxpayers are footing the bill. i wonder what the cost of all this vs. the tax cuts that bush wants to make to our social programs are

not to defend the guy... but as with turkey hunting its actually pretty easy to get hit hunting quail. you shoot at the little buggers when they are running around, not flying in the air. fun stuff!

"Aviator Andre Jurieux has just completed a record-setting flight, but when he is greeted by an admiring crowd, all he can say to them is how miserable he is that the woman he loves did not come to meet him. He is in love with Christine, the wife of aristocrat Robert de la Cheyniest. Robert himself is involved in an affair with Genevieve de Marras, but he is trying to break it off. Meanwhile, Andre seeks help from his old friend Octave, who gets Andre an invitation to the country home where Robert and Christine are hosting a large hunting party. As the guests arrive for the party, their cordial greetings hide their real feelings, along with their secrets - and even some of the servants are involved in tangled relationships."

this administration is a load of shit. honestly what the hell is going on that dick cheney shoting a guy gets more coverage then an actual war that is being fought? I mean it was obvious from day one what a dumbass (well not actually dumb)... what a dirty politician he is. I hope he goes hunting more often and with ten or twenty people that are shitty shooters as well.

the hospital said that alcohol was not a factor, but when asked if a alcohol blood test was done on the lawyer there was no comment. ??? and what about dick? did dick have an alcohol blood test done? i bet if you or i shot a man, they'd be sure to haul our ass in to have a blood test done.

I dunno about Texas, but in Washington State the worst he could get is unsafe discharge of a firearm. Which I think is only a misdemeanor. And pretty unlikely. I've only heard of it being used when people hunt too close to a house.

amanning, can you really blaim the administration for the news coverage?
it's the press-titutes and cable media types who'll whore themselves out to any 'story' for cheap thrills. and notice they can only really handle one story at a time (in order to take a full-frenzied obsessive approach).

no wonder Americans are so dumb and getting dumber, look at who's informing them - a bunch of gay & clueless tabloid 'journalists'...real-life wind-up toys.

technological developments make the smart smarter and the dumb dumber, and there'll always be many more dumb ones.

I was really fed up with this Cheney guy, but now that he's had a hunting accident, I say we begin the process of impeachment.

I really wouldn't want to see Cheney resign or be impeached (yeah, right). Bush would surely appoint the person he endorses as his successor in 2008 as replacement VP. The beauty of the 08 race is that it will be the first time since 1952 when a sitting Pres or VP won't be one of the candidates...let's keep it that way.

DHS unveils a new color-coded alert system

From Andy Borowitz:

"Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced today that his department would immediately implement a “Cheney Alert” system to warn Americans if an attack by Vice President Dick Cheney is imminent….

“What we have learned, the hard way, is that Dick Cheney can attack without warning,” Mr. Chertoff said. “It is our hope that with this Cheney Alert system we will be able to give the American people some warning before he strikes again.”

when your life can be summed up in a Johnny Cash song...

"I Hung My Head"

Early one morning with time to kill
I borrowed Jeb's rifle and sat on the hill
I saw a lone rider crossing the plain
I drew a bead on him to practice my aim
My brother's rifle went off in my hand
A shot rang out across the land
The horse he kept running, the rider was dead
I hung my head, I hung my head

I set off running to wake from the dream
And my brother's rifle went into the stream
I kept on running into the salt lands
And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
The sheriff he asked me "Why had I run"
Then it came to me just what I had done
And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
I hung my head, I hung my head

Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
I see the judge high up in his chair
"Explain to the courtroom what went through your mind
And we'll ask the jury what verdict they find"
I said "I felt the power of death over life
I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
I hung my head, I hung my head

Early one morning with time to kill
I see the gallows up on the hill
And out in the distance a trick of the brain
I see a lone rider crossing the plain
He's come to fetch me to see what they done
We'll ride together til Kingdom come
I pray for God's mercy for soon I'll be dead
I hung my head, I hung my head

I'm so sick of hearing about this thing. People accidentally get shot whilst hunting all the time. Cheney is old and sucks with a gun. Making jokes about the military and stuff, funny. But why are they investigating? He screwed up, the end.

Hasselhoff....in Wyoming People don't shoot one another unless it is intended! People grow up with guns and you learn how to use them at a young age. If the guy can't shoot straight, then maybe he should surrender his drivers license.
