I heard about this already. If it was a Dem I can't wait until we see what Jfern says.

[Jake]

Um, hunting accidents happen all the time. Let's hope the guy is ok and move on.

That is so awful.  That really sucks for the VP, but what was he doing hunting with his medical condition at his age?

It's not uncommon.  A classmate of mine is high school was shot, severely, but recovered in enough time to graduate on time and serve in the army; he's now a prison guard.

Quail are very light game and walking is good exercise for people with heart conditions.

The other guy was an innocent bystander of Cheney's war on terror liberalism quail.

I knows there's a good joke to be made using Dan Quayle, but I can't come up with it.

Also, maybe there's a good Aaron Burr joke.

Help me out here, people.

[Gabu]

Aha, Cheney reveals his true murderous tendencies.

He is quite clearly Satan Incarnate.

So you do have a sense of humor?  Who knew?

I expected a serious response along the lines of what Gabu said in jest.

[??????????]

Bird shot isn't usually deadly to a human. Now if they had been deer hunting, well we'd probably be hearing a more tragic story.

[Speed of Sound]

LOLZ Im sorry to hear that.

[Moooooo]

Revoke his license!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Friggn' neo-CON

Serious question - What percentage of the American public will think Cheney should resign because of this?

about 1%, I would guess

Far left nutjobs make up a little more than 1% of the population. Maybe 2%?

[Moooooo]

5-10%.  I seriously believe about 10% of the population would still cry foul if Bush and Cheney discovered a cure for AIDS.

Yeah, and 10% of the population would still think he was the second coming of Jesus if he murdered a busload of kids.

Fortunately, 80% of the population actually has a brain.

[Moooooo]

True, true...

Quail hunting?  The cute, funny-walking birds?  Why?

I think everyone in America would like to imagine themselves killing Dan Quayle.

Hopefully, it's because he thinks they taste good.

It is always somewhat funny when hunters shoot one another.

"I hunt quail, Jeremy. They're overpopulated in this region and they're decimating the grubworm population. You got a fcuking problem with that?"

[Citizen James]

Actually, I'm suprised the secret service allowed him to do so.  He could just have easily been shot (accidently or otherwise) by another hunter.

[A18]

Well, ultimately it's his choice.
