I'm sure it was an accident, he's not an idiot for having an accident.

But you have to admit it's pretty ridiculous.

However, this guy did get shot in the face with a pellet gun, so he must be pretty seriously hurt. And according to that link reno posted, the guy also had a heart attack as a result of getting pellets in his chest. Not cool.

It's ridiculous for anyone I suppose. Still, stuff like that happens and he's not immune because he's holds a position of importance. I feel bad for him. And that guy...obviously...

Cheney Hunting Visual Aid:

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 2/14/2006, 4:42 pm

Also, the Daily Show did an AMAZING bit last night about this, paralleling it to the war in Iraq in almost every detail. It was hilarious,

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 2/14/2006, 7:26 pm

Here's the bit:

Daily Show wrote:Jon Stewart: "I'm joined now by our own vice-presidential firearms mishap analyst, Rob Corddry. Rob, obviously a very unfortunate situation. How is the vice president handling it?

Rob Corddry: "Jon, tonight the vice president is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Wittington. According to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush.

"And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face. He believes the world is a better place for his spreading buckshot throughout the entire region of Mr. Whittington's face."

Jon Stewart: "But why, Rob? If he had known Mr. Whittington was not a bird, why would he still have shot him?"

Rob Corddry: "Jon, in a post-9-11 world, the American people expect their leaders to be decisive. To not have shot his friend in the face would have sent a message to the quail that America is weak."

Jon Stewart: "That's horrible."

Rob Corddry: "Look, the mere fact that we're even talking about how the vice president drives up with his rich friends in cars to shoot farm-raised wingless quail-tards is letting the quail know 'how' we're hunting them. I'm sure right now those birds are laughing at us in that little 'covey' of theirs.

Jon Stewart: "I'm not sure birds can laugh, Rob."

Rob Corddry: "Well, whatever it is they do … coo .. they're cooing at us right now, Jon, because here we are talking openly about our plans to hunt them. Jig is up. Quails one, America zero.

Jon Stewart: "Okay, well, on a purely human level, is the vice president at least sorry?"

Rob Corddry: "Jon, what difference does it make? The bullets are already in this man's face. Let's move forward across party lines as a people … to get him some sort of mask."

My law teacher was reading this in class, she was laughing at how he got shot in the face. :uh:

I don't think she knew it was serious at all.

I love the Daily Show.

Anyway, I thought this was amusing when I just read that the guy was fine and not badly injured at all. When he had a heart attack (as mild as it was), it stopped being at all funny.

And, for those of you unaware, the big deal about it in Washington is the fact that it wasn't announced to the public for a full day. Then Cheney's press guy covered up the heart attack when he briefed the press the morning it happened. It's ridiculous to me that they would keep something that was clearly an accident a secret, and should make even the biggest supporters of the current administration wonder what ELSE they're keeping from us.

Jon Stewart is having the time of his life with this.

In fact, on last night's episode, he was rubbing his nipples.

He did note that, on the alert status scale, the heart attack moved it from Orange: "Very funny" to Yellow: "Still funny, but also kind of sad"
