Taking a page from the clinton playbook

[Rych]

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.

[Rych]

Reports are sketchy but it sounds like he shot Dan Quail.

[off piste]

I'm sure he just thought the other guy was carrying WMD.......

[MTBME]

Yo Mark. Is that Mo as in Mohamed in your avitar? I don't know what the big deal is. Looks like just another peace loving fun guy from the middle east.

Taking a page from Clinton? Why, did Clinton shoot his spooge in Monica's face?

Not only was Elmer Fudd Cheney shooting low at "canned birds", birds that sometimes don't fly, and birds that sometimes come right at you because they think you're going to feed them (something other than bird shot), the sheriff showed up at Fudd's door to ask some questions, but the SS refused to let him be questioned. hmmmm....??

I was comparing this to the "suicides" of Bill Shelton and Kathy Ferguson.

Bushs has a death list too...although it's not as extensive nor mysterious

Harry Mobley

Sid Adger..
Mr. Adger, a Houston oil supply company executive and Bush family friend, died in 1996 of unknown causes. Adger was the mysterious businessman who approached General James Rose and asked him to help George W. Bush avoid Vietnam by recommending him for a pilot position with the National Guard.

General James Rose..
General Rose recommended George W. Bush for a pilot position with the Texas National Guard. He died of unknown causes in 1993. He was immediately buried and no autopsy was performed.

Lt. Colonel William Harris, Jr...
Lt. Col. William Harris was one of two commanding officers who could not perform George W. Bush's annual evaluation covering the year from May 1, 1972 to April 30, 1973. They stated in their filing that "Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of this report." Fortunately for George W. Bush, Lt. Col. Harris is not here to verify his 1973 statement. He's dead.

Lt. Colonel Jerry B. Killian..
Lt. Col. Jerry B. Killian was another of George W. Bush's commanding officers. He cannot testify in a court of law as to George W. Bush's dereliction of his sworn duty. Lt. Col. Killian is dead.

James Downing Aalund..
Mr. Aalund's name is the first on a long list of young Texans who died in Vietnam. These young men did not have influential fathers to pull the strings necessary to get them into the Texas Air National Guard. If they had been so lucky, they would surely have fulfilled their responsibilities to the ANG, if only out of gratitude that they did not have to die, thousands of miles away in a strange land. They surely would not have disappeared from duty for over a year, as did our fearless leader George W. Bush.

Enron - Bodies

J. Clifford Baxter...
Found dead in his car, shot in the head. Mr. Baxter was vice chairman of Enron Corp. when he resigned in May 2001. Enron has been hot copy lately with the revelation that they were the largest campaign contributors for George W. Bush. Was J. Clifford Baxter a potential witness to Bush foreknowledge of their wrongdoings? His death was ruled a suicide.

Charles Dana Rice...
He was the senior vice president and treasurer of El Paso Corp., an energy corporation swept up in the recent energy scandal. Two months after the "suicide" of Enron executive Clifford Baxter, in the midst of questions about the accounting practices of El Paso Corp., Charles Rice was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head. His death was ruled a suicide.

James Daniel Watkins...
His body was found on December 1, 2001 in the Pike National Forest in Colorado, a gunshot wound to the head. Mr. Watkins was a consultant for Arthur Andersen, the accounting firm for Enron. He disappeared on November 13 after he left work. He was described as a devoted family man who always called home if he were going to be late. Officials initially said that the death was suspicious, but have changed their tune and have ruled his death a suicide.

Commerce Secretary Ron Brown...
He died in a plane crash on April 3, 1996. Was Ron Brown the first Enron body? In 1995 Enron officials accompanied Brown on a trade mission to India, and to Russia in 1994. Speculation among right-wing whackos suggests that our last duly-elected President, Bill Clinton, was somehow responsible for his death, but we wonder: was Secretary Brown privy to information that would conclusively link George W. Bush to Enron greed and corruption? Charles Meissner, Assistant Commerce Secretary, also died in this crash.

Jake Horton...
He was the senior vice-president of Gulf Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, a cohort of Enron in the energy industry, and a major contributer to the Bush! agenda. A ccording to reporter Gregory Palast, Horton knew of the company's appalling accounting practices, and "... had no doubt about its illegal campaign contributions to Florida politicans - he'd made the payments himself. In April of 1989 Horton decided to come clean with state officials, and reserved the company jet to go confront company officials. Ten minutes after takeoff the jet exploded.

This setup is too easy, but that won't stop me.

Extensive: Bush's list is well over 2,000 service men and women at this point. Judging from the Katrina hearings, we should probably add a few thousand more.

Mysterious: Agreed, not at all.

Looks like the guy Elmer Fudd Cheney shot might die. He just had a heart attack, and apparentely has bird shot lodged in his heart.
How low do you have to shoot to get a guy in the face and chest? How far away was this guy?
Criminal negligence?

[kernel crash]

"How far away was this guy? Criminal negligence? "

You never stop reaching do you. The guy was 30 yards away and was walking into Cheneys range of fire. And I believe it was one of those silent heart attacks. The kind people get and never even know about it.

so, he's 30 yards away and gets hit in the face and chest. picture it. Fudd Cheney was practically aiming down. Weren't they hunting birds?!

[MTBME]

Remember, you heard it here first ;)

OK, due to popular demand I added to the original.

Dude, that's awesome. ;D

[digger]

I was listening to Severin tonight and he was talking about how Cheney may well have been a little hammered. 5:30 in the afternoon, the local sheriff immediately says that no booze is involved though he doesn't question Cheney until the next day. The secret service fends off all inquiries, slow release of info to the press. etc.

[catbbq]

Are you guys sure it was 30 yards? Birdshot only has a range of about 30 feet. At thirty yards, I doubt it would break the skin.

[Slider]

That graphic is way cool. You gotta add the bottles of Jack, tho.

As for players, Michael Moore woulda been holding the camera. Maybe it was Libby, setting up Cheney for screwing up his career?

Looks like Cheney took a page from Kennedy's Chapaquiddick (sp?) playbook.

I think we've found a truly bi-partisan issue. The ultra-rights are even whooping it up in the gun groups on this one. ;D

Even I have to admit, Dead eye Dick doing his interview on Fox is like Slick Willie doing an interview on Larry King.

Stolen from northeastshooters.com, where it was stolen from combatcarry.com:

unting attorneys for sport has lately become somewhat of a past time for people. Enough so that the government has stepped in with new laws limiting such things as who can hunt them, how many can be hunted, and by what means...

1. Any person with a valid State hunting license may harvest attorneys.

2. The taking of attorneys with traps or deadfalls is permitted. The use of currency as bait is prohibited.

3. The killing of attorneys with a vehicle is prohibited. If accidentally struck, remove road kill to roadside, then proceed to nearest car wash.

4. It is unlawful to chase, herd, or harvest attorneys from a helicopter or other aircraft.

5. It shall be unlawful to shout, "whiplash," "ambulance!" or, "Free Perrier!" for the purposes of trapping attorneys.

6. It shall be unlawful to use cocaine, young boys, $100 bills, prostitutes, or vehicle accidents to attract attorneys.

7. It shall be unlawful to hunt attorneys within 200 yards of whorehouses, health spas, ambulances, or hospitals.

8. If an attorney is elected to government office, there will be a $500 bounty on the pelt.

9. Stuffed or mounted attorneys must have a state health department inspection for rabies, vermin and contagious diseases.

10. It shall be illegal for a hunter to disguise himself as a reporter, drug dealer, pimp, female law clerk, sheep, accident victim, bookie, or tax accountant for the purposes of hunting attorneys.

Attorney Bag Limits:

Yellow-Bellied Sidewinder = 5
Hairless Civil Libertarian = 7
Skinny-Assed Ambulance Chaser = 12
Horse or Cattle Rustler Defender = 20
Silver-Tongued Murderer Defender = 50
Jack-Legged Divorce Litigator = No limit
Honest Attorney = Extinct
