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.

The other 'hunters' are probably given blanks.

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

I'd like to contest this assertion, as the Republicans and the Democrats are still voted into office.

You're right, Michael Badnarik did get 0.32% of the vote.

Okay then, 79.68% of the population actually has a brain. Wink

LOL. But Nader got votes too, remember. So did Peroutka. Wink

Oh, yeah, and let's not forget Bush and Kerry and all the votes they got. Grin

this story made me laugh.  I was thinking how, if the guy died, Cheney would have been arrested for the one crime liberals actually DON'T think he intentionally committed.

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

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

Finally... a Dan Quayle joke over it! The world is now right.

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

16% Believe Their Phones Tapped by Federal Government

16% is the correct answer.

Why would he want to kill the smartest Baby Boomer to ever be on a Republican ticket?

Anybody know if there is any criminal penalty for this? I know it was an accident but he shot a man.  At the very least, Cheney should have to pick up litter on the highway Smiley

No, there is no crime committed (hence the word accident).  As it turns out, the fault lies on the man who was shot, since he did not report to the firing line that he was in the vicinity after going out to fetch the two birds he shot.  This man might end up with an honorary Darwin Award at the end of the year.

I have always believed that for something to be considered a "sport" there has to be a winner and loser.  I never thought of hunting as a sport because I didn't really think there was any way to lose.  Thank you VP Cheney for showing me different.

Unless Cheney was reckless or criminally negligent, there will be no penalty.

Because it's "Cheney."

So much for the conservative Fox News, eh?  From their website:

"The [Cheney] shooting is unlikely one of a dispute over politics as Burka said Whittington has strong Republican credentials. However, he is also known as an exemplary individual."
