I can’t make this stuff up, Dick Cheney SHOT A GUY. No really he really did shoot one of his old rich white guy lawyer buddies. Guess things are getting pretty bad in Washington and the NRA has been handing out free guns for them to fight it out (joke).
Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System.
The accident occurred Saturday at a ranch in south Texas where the vice president and several companions were hunting quail. It was not reported publicly by the vice president’s office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after it was reported locally by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on its Web site Sunday.
Katharine Armstrong, the ranch’s owner, said Sunday that Cheney was using a 28-guage shotgun and that Whittington was about 30 yards away when he was hit in the cheek, neck and chest.
Each of the hunters was wearing a bright orange vest at the time, Armstrong told reporters at the ranch about 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. She said Whittington was “alert and doing fine.”
What have we learned from all this.
Watch out for Dicks with guns.
Guns don’t kill people Dick Cheney does.
When Dick says to get down, he ain’t fucking around.
Are lawyers in season?
If so what is the legal limit on how many we can kill?
Insert your best joke into the comment section.
