    Cheney shoots man in hunt error


    The US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, has accidentally shot and injured a man during a quail hunting trip in Texas.
    The victim, named as Harry Whittington, was on the trip with Mr Cheney at the Armstrong Ranch when the accident happened on Saturday.

    Ranch owner Katharine Armstrong said Mr Whittington, 78, had been taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital where he was said to be "doing fine".

    According to a spokeswoman, Mr Cheney spent Sunday afternoon at the hospital.

    Ms Armstrong said Mr Cheney had turned round to shoot at a bird but sprayed Mr Whittington with shotgun pellets instead.

    Mr Whittington was hit in the cheek, neck and chest, but is said to be "alert and doing fine" in hospital.

    A lawyer from Austin, Texas, Mr Whittington was initially treated at the ranch by medical staff who normally travel with the vice-president.

    The men were part of a quail hunting expedition at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas.

    The local sheriff's department is investigating the incident.

    No he didn't. Not personally anyway.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

      Yawwn!!!

      Would have been interesting if someone had shot Cheney, preferably in the nuts for a long slow painful death.

        Why does this surprise you? Did you think these Christian neo-cons you support were actually intelligent?
