Cheney P.S.....it wasn't his first shooting
accident
Commentary
White House may joke about Cheney shooting fellow hunter, but
Whittington's condition is more serious than disclosed

..."The Secret Service, on the other hand, says that it reported the
shooting to the sheriff's office an hour after it happened, and that
Cheney eventually did talk to local authorities. "The Cheney interview,
like so much of this story, was delayed until Sunday morning."
So how would the sheriff's office know that Cheney had not been drinking,
as it claimed in its press release, further stating it was satisfied that
this was no more than a hunting accident?
Madsen also reported, "WMR has learned that this incident is not the first
involving Cheney and hunting accidents. According to informed sources on
Maryland's Eastern Shore, two years ago Cheney was shooting at ducks from
a duck blind in Trappe, a Maryland Eastern shore town where former
Secretary of State James Baker III maintains a residence. The sources
reveal that Cheney nearly accidentally shot half of his hunting party and
Secret Service detail. Eyewitnesses to the Maryland duck hunting incident
claim that Cheney is 'trigger happy' and a 'maniac with a gun.'"
Trigger happy?" A "maniac with a gun?" That's quite a contrast to the
tales now being told about Cheney being so "safety conscious."
A number of hunting experts say while it would have been prudent for
Whittington to announce himself, the ultimate responsibility for not
hitting others is the shooter's.
If Whittington should succumb to his wounds, will Cheney be charged with
negligent homicide or even involuntary manslaughter? Or will the White
House spinmeisters somehow blame Whittington for departing for that big
hunting ground in the sky?"
