In the news today, it's being reported that Vice President of the United States, Dick Cheney shot his friend, and Republican, Harry Whittington, while they were out hunting. It sounds like Mr. Whittington is going to be OK, which is good news, but it really does make you wonder what would happen if Cheney was out hunting with his enemies. I'm sure he'd shoot Al-Qaeda operatives on purpose (that probably goes without saying), but what about Democrats? He'd probably want to make it look like an accident...but not make it too difficult to shoot them either. He doesn't want to have to exert himself too much shooting Democrats. I could see Cheney suggesting to the Democrats that they dress up in turkey costumes, or flutter around in the bushes like quails. Bam! Truth be told, I'm somewhat surprised this sort of thing has never happened in Canada. God knows most of our politicians are turkeys, and Canada has plenty of avid hunters...it's probably only a matter of time. I read about the story just now on the Globe and Mail website: Cheney shoots pal in hunting accident And the blogosphere is running wild (of course). Here are the top links in Google's Blogsearch at this very moment: Beware of Dick Cheney Cheney Shoots Someone Deadeye Dick (Technorati Tags: dick cheney, harry whittington, american politics)
