Vice President Dick Cheney will spend Election Day on his first hunting trip since he shot his friend in the face last February during a canned hunt while aiming at quail on a private Texas ranch.
The Associated Press reports:
After working at the White House on Monday morning, will head to South Dakota to spend several days at a private hunting lodge near Pierre. Lea Anne McBride, his press secretary, said it was an annual hunting outing and said Cheney spent Election Day in 2002 at the same lodge.
He will be accompanied by his daughter, Mary, and his political director, Mel Raines, who will help him keep track of the election returns, McBride said.
On a Feb. 11 hunting trip in Texas, Cheney shot attorney Harry Whittington in the torso, neck and face when he pulled the trigger on his 28-gauge shotgun. The vice president later called it “one of the worst days of my life” and said, “The image of him falling is something I’ll never ever be able to get out of my mind.”
The shooting was ruled an accident. Whittington was hospitalized for six days.

What a rotten son-of-a-bitch. I truly loathe him and I hope he shoots himself in the face this time. Would serve him right and would liberate America and the world.

Christopher – Any world if his girlfriend, former Ambassador Patricia Harrington will be along for the ride and some late Fall romance?

[...] The thang still works! Americans went to the polls and voted for change and that’s what we’re getting. The Democrats claimed victories across the country. Then Dick Cheney, believing the American people were handing victory to the terrorists, took cover behind his hair-trigger Perazzi-Brescia over-under 28-gauge shotgun and has yet to shoot anybody. Then this morning Sec Defense Rumsfeld, the unpopular befuddled captain of our voyage into Iraq, at last has been asked by the President to step aside. Democratic Rep Nancy Pelosi has become the first woman Speaker of the House. And Britney at last filed for the right to legally allow Kfed to fall off the face of the earth! It all seemed impossible a little while ago, but it only took a first Tuesday of November to flip the script. (rate it!)
