It was disclosed that Cheney <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/02\/14\/politics\/14cheney.html?_r=1&#038;th&#038;emc=th&#038;oref=slogin\">bagged a lawyer<\/a> over the weekend.  He is apparently being issued a citation for hunting without the proper game stamp on his license.  This is the first I&#8217;ve heard that you can get a permit to hunt lawyers, but it is Texas, so not much should leave my jaw agape.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney and his traveling medical E.R. team went to a &#8220;hunting ranch&#8221; where they participated in the &#8220;sport&#8221;.  The ranch releases pen raised quail from coops so that old men can drive up in cars and shoot them from 30 yards away.  If this is sport, then I went to Wegman&#8217;s and felled a pork roast last week.  It&#8217;s amazing they give them actual guns.  And maybe after this, they won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>It is tempting to suspect foul (fowl?) play here.  But I&#8217;m pretty sure this was really an accident.  I believe if Cheney wanted somebody hurt or killed that he has people that would accomplish that without making the news.<\/p>\n<p>Note, this makes Cheney the first sitting V.P. to shoot another man since Alexander Hamilton.  Traitors, quail, what&#8217;s the difference?<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">\n<h6><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;\">Brought to you by Tim&#8230;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.timscogitorium.com\/tinblog\/\">-Read the whole blog here-<\/a><\/span><\/h6>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can&#8217;t make this stuff up.
