Now There's A Surprise - The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight.

Dag Nab It Darth Vader Dick!! If you had gone into the service instead of getting all them there deferrrrrrment things you might have learned to shoot straight. Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets. "The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good." Oh Darth you bumbling old fool, you shouldn't be allowed to even handle a gun if'n ya don't know a man from one of them there quail thingies. Hmm this would be almost funny if not for the fact of a question this raises. CNN is reporting Armstrong in an interview with The Associated Press said Whittington, 78, was mostly injured on his right side, with the pellets hitting his cheek, neck and chest during the incident which occurred late afternoon on Saturday. Hey! Did you catch that tiny little fact so casually included in the story? Lets take just one more small look at that phrase again shall we? - which occurred late afternoon on Saturday. Does anyone wonder why the press wasn't informed of this at the time? Or if they were told, why did they wait until Sunday to release the story? A lazy Sunday where most people are doing those normal family things like kicking back and watching some TV. You know the Olympics are on. Or perhaps they would rather be watching the news shows. OH!!! now there's one reason the press may have been kept in the dark about it. Think about that for a minute.....if it had been released say - Saturday when it happened, the talking heads may be going on about what a crappy shot Darth Vader is instead of all those Republican shills defending King George's domestic spying program. Whoops silly me I forgot it's called a "terrorism surveillance program". Or (get out the tinfoil hat and find those that like a good conspiracy) maybe you had to wait to release the info because you had to make sure your friend would make it alright and live to see another day. Oh well as those Republicans like to say about anything negative that involves one of their own, "move along, nothing to see here" unless of course they can say "well Clinton did it too". Just a word of advice to King George. You better not piss Darth off for any reason, and by all means, definitely DO NOT accept an invitation to go on a hunting trip with him.
