hopefully jail time. Of course its insane to think that the people who run the country are actually able to have laws apply to them.

"Cheney called Whittington and spoke to him, telling him "that he stood ready to assist"
Gee, thanks, Mr Vice-president, but I'd rather you didn't, if it's OK with you.

It's a hunting accident, for crying out loud. Rednecks all over the US have even better stories than this.
Some great examples:

Then again, none of them are the VP.

Yes, it's obviously an accident and shouldn't be treated any differently because it's the VP.
Still funny as hell though, as long as the other guy stays alive.

I have tried to resist posting about this subject, but I can no longer.
I am disappointed with everyone who has found this funny.
And, I am discouraged to see that the American viewing audience wishes to see jokes about this on Late Night TV.
A MAN WAS NEARLY KILLED FOR GOODNESS SAKES!!!!
This is a sad commentary on what we, the human race, have evolved into.
Here is the reason why I have such strong sentiments in regards to this...
A person who I was extremely close to, accidently shot and killed another person in a hunting accident many years ago when they were very young. That accident changed the course of those two peoples lives, forever. The one person was obviously dead and the person whom I was close to was never the same again.
Shame on all of you!

I hadn't realised it was a serious as it is. Way they made it sound he'd just clipped him nothing major just a a bit of buckshot to remove and a few bandaids. But I just heard on the news that they think he's got lead pellets in his heart and that sounds a little less like a clipping and more like a fully fledged shooting...
To be fair I think a lot of people like me thought this was a minor incident not a life threatening one.

That's certainly the way it was presented in the news. Maybe they went too far in downplaying the whole thing.
I honestly don't think anyone will find this funny if it gets more serious.

It is a serious matter anytime someone gets shot with a gun!

No, they made it sound like he got minor injuries, they used the terminology 'peppered' and such. No one would be making jokes (well almost no one) if they knew he was having heart problems from it. Seriously, they made it sound like it was the equivalent of a bb shot to the ass.

In fact here's the quote from the person who owns the ranch
>>"These things happen," Armstrong said, expressing exasperation with reporters who seemed to know nothing about hunting. "It's a shotgun, not a rifle," she said, "and it's a spray of pellets ... not bullets."<<
>>Such hunting accidents aren't rare, Armstrong said, but there are few shootings on record by presidents or vice presidents. Vice President Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel in 1804. In some ways, Cheney's accident is more reminiscent of occasions when President Ford drove golf balls into a crowd, beaning bystanders.<<
