Dick Cheney Shoots Fellow Hunter?!?
Just when I thought the day would be solely dominated by coverage of today's blizzard, words comes through the AP wire saying that Vice President Dick Cheney shot a fellow hunter with a shotgun during a hunting trip today. Says the AP:
Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
Obviously, our first thoughts must be with the wellbeing of this poor man (Whittington, not Cheney). But what will this mean for Cheney? So far, it's not being mentioned on the TV networks that I've seen; the Olympics are still running on NBC. But Yahoo and CNN both have it as breaking news on their homepages; someone's already updated Cheney's entry on Wikipedia.
So surreal.... -andy
