Hmm...if this guy dies, can they impeach a vice president for murder?
o_O
No fan of the administration, but even if the guy dies it was an accident.
True, an accident due to Cheaney's negligence, but an accident none-the-less.
The incident is so much a metaphor for the way this administration conducts business (shoot first, ask questions later; keep everything secret no matter what; admit no error unless and until forced to, if even then), but I don't see Cheaney as being guilty of anything more than minor things like not getting his stamp, being a sloppy shooter and, oh yeah, being a fake tough guy because he's shooting domesticated quail that present no real challenge.

As someone pointed out, Teddy Roosevelt got the "Teddy Bear" named after him for refusing to shoot a bear cub dragged up before him as a "hunting target". Cheaney would have shot it without a second thought.
There will be no "Cheaney Quail".
 
The sheriff has announced today that no charges wil be brought ag'st Cheney. It must be nice to have friends in high (or LOW) places! Anyway, if the guy died, and it was as a result of this shooting, then he coulda been charged with Criminally Negligent homicide. Notice, the intent (or mens rea) is negligent, not knowing or even intentional.

From this point forward, dead quails will be known as Cheyneys, and Quail Hunting will be referred to as Cheyneying.
but he didn't shoot the quail. he shot a 78 year-old man, who he mistook as a bird.
if you call the quails "cheany's," what will you call 78 year-old men?
 
Yeah a single beer at lunch is really gonna do ANYTHING to a guy as big as Cheney. People trying to imply that he was "drunk" or something are stupid.

It was a mistake that happens to people all the time. Yeah its fun to make jokes about it, but at the same time don't sit there and imply he's "getting away" with anything.

Why, Pepper, of course.

^^^^^Thank you
seriously people dont you think he feels bad about the ACCEDENT
 
what do you think i dont care about the guy who got shot???? i fell worse for him but i dont think people like you should critize the government or chaney for an accedent
 
Well, that's part and parcel of living in a free country: we have the RIGHT...no, the _responsibility, IMO...to criticize the government and/or it's 'leaders' should we feel they are deserving of it. Just like you have the right to disagree with said criticisms...

Though with the renewal of the 'patriot' act, who knows how long _that_ will last...=/

i agree 100%
i have the right to disagree with you and you have the right to disagree with me. thats what i love about this country. normally i dont like to debate people because we both have every right to believe what ever we want. Its just im board out of my mind, ive been sick for 4 days and had nothing to do but computer & tv.
 
I dont really think Cheney is sorry about anything other than the fact that everyone KNOWS about him shooting his 78 yr old att'y pal. He didnt have a tag to shoot quail, he obv. hasnt attended any hunter safety program for SOME time bc everyone that hunts at least a little bit knows to be aware of your surroundings and your FELLOW HUNTERS in the group. (This coming from a complete non hunter who learned hunter safety in the 6th grade some 25 or so yrs ago!!) [I do know several hunters tho]

Cheney is a complete twit who is only there to benefit him and his cronies. He is one good heart palpatation away from being buried next to the all the young, innocent souls in Arlington Cemetary who have given up their life to protect this country fighting this senseless "war" in Iraq.

...I would comment on how funny I found the picture from the first post, but the subsequent posts just shot the lighthearted mood to the ground.

Pun intended.
