Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.
Harry Whittington, 78, was ”alert and doing fine” after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.
Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
Cheney’s spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.
Kinda sounds like it was one of his hunting buddies, so I don’t think much will come of it.

From a friend, Marcus Bales, on the
Dead Runners e-List:
Higgledy piggledy
Richard B Cheney
While hunting for quail on the
Old Armstrong place.
In a moment of carelessness
Vice-presidentially
Blasted another guest
Right in the face.
“Ambulance! Ambulance!”
Richard B. Cheney
Repeated as somebody
Bled where he sat
Prey to Republican
Inhospitality
Was he a terrorist
Or Democrat?
Luckily luckily
Richard B Cheney’s
Security detail has
Medics on staff
And, since the guy is an
Ultraconservative,
All that he’ll say is “It
Hurts when I laugh”.
Remington Remington
Richard B Cheney
Has shot a Republican
Very fat cat;
Cheney is sorry but
Self-justifyingly
Thinks “I’d have missed if
He wasn’t so fat.”
Wriggley wriggley
Richard B Cheney:
“Executive privilege!”
SCOTUS: “Concur!”
After all, Hamilton
Paradigmatically
Died when shot down by
Vice President Burr.
Coverup coverup
Richard B Cheney
For twenty-four hours
Would not say a word,
And none of the media
Characterisitcally
Tell us the real facts: did
Dick get the bird?
