Maybe Cheney thought he saw a six-foot tall, blaze orange quail.
So how long before he’s officially “Deadeye Dick”? Or before the term “lesbian daughter” appears in an article about the shooting?
Evidently all is well, as Mr. Cheney was heard to have yelled “HE’S COMIN’ RIGHT AT ME!” just before discharging his weapon.
You Son of a B—h, I think I broke a rib laughing. 
Hey, having a lesbian daughter will throw your aim right off. It’s the double dildoes. Your eyes keep trying to resolve them into a single dildo, and pretty soon you’re seeing a third one, and you can’t tell a Whittington from a quail.
I think what happened was Whittington thought he said “Get up.” Cheney was actually saying “Shut up.”
I know that Democrats are famous for shooting themselves in the foot. It seems that the VP has taken it to the next level.
Gotta give him this, he finally found a weapon of mass destruction.
Anyone else notice the guy he shot was a millionaire lawyer? No comment here.
Hell, he and Bush are probably the only guys who could do that with impunity.
Seriously you shouldn’t have to announce your presence.
A note for cartooniverse about his comment in the closed thread over in IMHO.
You use a shotgun to hunt quail. Not a hunting rifle.
Hell lots of folks can’t even hit them with a shotgun,
He shot Whittington? I thought he was hunting Quayle? :smack:
Comment here.
BANG
“AAAAAAAAA!!!”
“Harry, are you okay?”
“Jesus, Dick, you just shot me!”
“Are you hurt bad?”
“I think I’m bleeding some. We should do something.”
“Would a tax cut help?”
ROFLMAO
I’m sending Karl a pair of white mittens so he’ll be cozy on the next deer hunt.
I guess Cheney hasn’t seen The Magic Christian. Peter Sellers did his bird hunting with a Howitzer.
It’s a good thing the Vice President is not at the Olympics. He might confuse the ski jump with skeet shooting.

justwannano, I know. Thank you for the correction anyway. I can see where you made the mistake- the link was a visual joke.
The rifle was in a Zero Haliburton carrying case.
I’ve no love and enormous contempt for Cheney, but in all fairness I understand the need for an ambulance stand-by. This was one dumb fucking accident, but accidents do happen around weapons and he IS the Vice President. Add to that his cardiac history and it sounds kind of prudent to have a coupla paramedics hanging around.
I hope the gentleman who was shot makes a complete recovery.

When the story aired on the six o’clock news, the newscaster who was suppose to do the following story just sat there mute with the look of “If I open my mouth, I will not be able to stop laughing.”
Guns don’t shoot people; Vice-Presidents with guns shoot people.

Dang you… stole my joke…
