Hunting Lessons with Dick Cheney...

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Filling your 78-year-old friend with shot is one thing. Doing it without a license, though? Come on #######! But then, after past Cheney hunting trips, what should one expect?

We have come to expect bungles and mishaps from the Bush Administration. And not just political ones. President Bush has made a habit out of brushes with death from choking on pretzels to crashing on his bike to running into a policeman at Gleneagles last year. Not to be outdone, Vice President ####### Cheney seems to have decided to get into the act.

With, em, a bang.

Shooting your 78-year-old hunting buddy while quail hunting can, of course, happen to anyone. As it turns out, though, Cheney didn't have a license -- neither for quail nor for 78-year-olds. But this should come as no surprise to anyone. Cheney's hunting trips have long been cause for finger-wagging among some in the chattering classes. His 2004 duck hunting trip with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia raised questions about the separation between the executive branch and the judiciary. And a pheasant shooting trip in Dec. 2003 raised animal rights hackles after it was revealed that Cheney and his party annihilated 417 newly-released, cage-raised pheasants -- in one day. Cheney himself was credited with filling 70 of the birds full of lead himself. But it is unlikely Cheney will stop hunting anytime soon. One hopes though that before he heads off on his next trip, he'll take a look at this handy prey identifier [see below] for vice-presidential hunting trips.
