I’m glad you find it funny that our vice president shot and very nearly killed a man.

Considering how much crap he gets from the "chickenhawk" meme guys, one would think this would finally validate him in their opinion.

You’re right, Len. We should react to the jokes by rioting, burning down fast-food joints, and threatening to behead the jokers.

Not what I said at all, and you know it.

Moral values, anyone?

With statements like that, I don't know how you can wake up in the morning with any respect for yourself.

This incident clearly illustrates some of the more important rules of hunting: (a) you are always responsible for your own shots and what they hit, no matter what; and (b) when one hunter breaks line to pursue or retrieve game, all other hunting must cease, and all other hunters must lower their weapons and take their fingers off the trigger until everyone is back in line. To take a shot when everyone is not accounted for is completely reckless and negligent. No bird is worth someone's life.

I remember hearing humor about the Challenger explosion within a couple of days of the incident. People rely on gallows humor to get by at times, regardless of how distasteful others find it.

This weekend's hunting accident involving the Vice President has suddenly turned quite serious

What? It wasn't serious before? I still find it difficult to believe that people were making a joke out of our vice president shooting a man.

Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a 78-year-old hunting companion during a weekend quail ...

White House Finds Humor in Hunting Mishap

President Bush's spokesman quipped Tuesday that the burnt orange school colors of the University of Texas championship football team that was visiting the White House shouldn't be confused for hunter's safety wear.

"The orange that they're wearing is not because they're concerned that the vice president may be there," joked White House press secretary Scott McClellan, following the lead of late-night television comedians. "That's why I'm wearing it."

The president's brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, took a similar jab after slapping an orange sticker on his chest from the Florida Farm Bureau that read, "No Farmers, No Food."

"I'm a little concerned that Dick Cheney is going to walk in," the governor cracked during an appearance in Tampa Monday.

This weekend's hunting accident involving the Vice President has suddenly turned quite serious:

This has got to be a fiction concocted by the White House Press corps. As Katherine Armstrong said, Whittington just got "peppered"--no big deal. It happens from time-to-time.

If this is true, hopefully Whittington will learn not to jump in front of someone carrying a weapon. As Armstrong said, Whittington was acting totally carelessly.

Since the White House has been pretty transparent, quick to disclose information, and straight-forward on this thing, I am sure that the media is blowing the so-called "heart attack" way out of proportion.
