Senators, Cheney go hunting

WASHINGTON - Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Vice President Cheney went quail hunting last week, and the senator lived to tell the tale.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., and Republican South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford joined Cheney and Graham for two days of hunting on a private plantation that friends of Chambliss own in southern Georgia.

The outing was only Cheney's second hunting trip since he accidentally wounded a close friend, Texas lawyer Harry Whittington, last February by spraying shotgun pellets into his face, neck and chest.

(snip)

"It was brought up a couple of times," Graham said in an interview. "He makes people feel comfortable so they can joke about it."

Cheney broke up other guests at a dinner by recalling President Bush's reaction when the vice president returned to the White House after the incident.

"Dang, Dick, you shot the only trial lawyer who supports me!" Bush mock-scolded Cheney.

3. Cheney is truly interesting

He chicken hawked out of the Vietnam war. He hunts domestic raised birds, and he hates gays and works against gay rights while having a gay daughter.

He's one sick puppy.

6. Death wish?

Who would go on a hunting trip with Cheney? Most people don't like getting shot in the face.

7. I Hope They Brought Plenty to Drink! Wouldn't Want Them to Get Thirsty in that Hot Georgia Sun

:beer::beer::beer: Have another one there, ole Deadeye! :beer:

Come on tiger, that's just a piece of cheap clothesline. BE FREE! You can do it.
They can't hit a moving target, especially when they're hammered.
Oh, look. They're shooting each other!
Guns empty? Good. DINNER TIME!
