That Dick!

So Dick Cheney shot his hunting companion. That is one of the most unfortunate things I've heard about someone who is already hurting for friends. When he is already not the most popular guy in school he can hardly stand to lose the people that are still willing to be seen in public with him, and in this case he almost killed one of those people. Whittington, the 78-year-old mistaken quail has been released from the intensive care unit and seems to be doing fine, but I would imagine that Cheney will be looking for a new hunting buddy. The NRA might want to do some quick work to down-play any time they've crossed paths with the VP now. I'm sure we can all imagine Cheney letting loose with a tirade of profanity (remember the F-Bomb on the Senate floor?) after this whole incident. And not because he shot someone, but because his hunting trip just got a little more complicated and a lot less fun. Let's just hope he didn't climb into a truck that had a bumper sticker that said "Guns don't kill people, I DO!"
