WASHINGTON
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.

So, the veep has Secret Service protection, do you think the other hunters are allowed to carry guns? If so, are they loaded with blanks? :p

It's a good thing he doesn't have his finger on the button :crossx:

I heard he thought he was shooting at a Quail, as in Dan Quayle :)

Awww come on! That's not even a crime is it? Who does't want to go lawyer hunting every now and then? :D Not a very good shot though. There's gonna be one hell of a lawsuit after this.
