Cheney shoots fellow hunter
WASHINGTON (AP) -- 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 him with shotgun pellets on Saturday while the two were hunting at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.

First of all, what the hell is the VP doing with a gun anyway? The secret Service must have had kittens when that decision was made. Anyway, he probably just made a mistake and got a touch too drunk or something, but since the victim is a lawyer, A: do you think Cheney will be charged? and B: For you conspiracy guys, was the lawyer about to spill some info to the press and stupidly assumed Cheney wouldn't take matters into his own hands?
