that's mighty big of you. when i heard about this i was shocked that i wasn't shocked at all. personally, there is nothing cheney could do to make me think he is any less of an *******.
You have a point. Screwing up our country, and being an a$$hole hunting, doesn't really compare. Keep D&D Civil.
dude, he got hit with bird shot. unless Cheney put the gun up to that guy's head, he wasn't gonna sustain any serious injuries. i know several people who have been shot with bird shot before, and we all laughed about. just because your personal hero was the genius who pulled the trigger doesn't men we cant all laugh at it. besides you of course.
Damn, why can't we all just get along...It's not like he shot a Democrat...j/k, so all you hater's calm down... Seriously, Dick f'd up, period...Wasn't there, but I'm assuming he heard something and just reacted, not verifying what he was shooting, which is scary...Feel for the guy he shot and really, Dick doesn't need to be hunting for a long while...

The atmosphere can get pretty testy in the White House press briefing room from time to time. But there were no cameras rolling in the Monday morning "gaggle'' today, the morning after news belatedly broke about Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shooting a hunting companion on Saturday. The broadcast sessions of press encounters with White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan are saved for formal afternoon briefings, with the morning gaggles serving as more informal warm-ups. And David Gregory, the chief White House correspondent for NBC News, was warmed up. Why was the White House relying on a Texas rancher to get the word of Cheney's hunting accident out over the weekend, asked Gregory, accusing McClellan of "ducking and weaving.'' "“David, hold on… the cameras aren't on right now,'' McClellan replied. "You can do this later.'' "Don't accuse me of trying to pose to the cameras,'' the newsman said, his voice rising somewhat. "Don’t be a jerk to me personally when I’m asking you a serious question.'' "You don't have to yell,'' McClellan said. "I will yell,'' said Gregory, pointing a finger at McCellan at his dais. "If you want to use that podium to try to take shots at me personally, which I don’t appreciate, then I will raise my voice, because that’s wrong.’’ ‘’Calm down, Dave, calm down,'' said McClellan, remaining calm throughout the exchange. "I'll calm down when I feel like calming down,'' Greogry said. "You answer the question.' "I have answered the question,'' said McClellan, who had maintained that the vice president's office was in charge of getting the information out and worked with the ranch owner to do that. "I'm sorry you're getting all riled up about.'' "I am riled up,'' Gregory said, "because you’re not answering the question,'' McClellan insisted he understood that reporters deserve an answer. "I think you have legitimate questions to ask,'' the press secretary said. "The vice president’s office was the one that took the lead to get this information out… I don’t know what else to tell you... That's my answer.'' http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/news_theswamp/2006/02/no_lights_no_ca.html
see what these idiots do in the white house, if they reported the story when it happened, it would be nothing but a big joke, but because it took so long to come out, now its a story.
Texas Sheriff Barred From Interviewing Cheney About Shooting Incident CBS News reports that local law enforcement officials were prevented from interviewing Vice President Cheney after he accidentally shot a 78-year-old man during a hunting trip: CBS News White House correspondent Peter Maer reports Texas authorities are complaining that the Secret Service barred them from speaking to Cheney after the incident. Kenedy County Texas Sheriffs Lt. Juan Guzman said deputies first learned of the shooting when an ambulance was called. McClellan was asked about it at the press briefing but played dumb: Of course, the question is not whether the Secret Service informed law enforcement, but whether law enforcement was permitted to speak with Cheney. As Talk Left notes, although the incident was an accident, it could constitute criminal negligence. UPDATE: At the breifing McClellan refuses to “speculate” as to whether the accidental shooting was a criminal offense: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/02/13/sheriff-barred-from-interviewing/
this is to the serious hunter reading the thread (or anyone who knows), exactly what happens when you shoot somebody? i would imagine you have to have some sort of report to the sheriff and an investigation? if a regular guy shot someone what steps would follow? thnx
