"Don't Shoot, I'm Human." Minor league hockey team gives out Cheney Vests

'Too juicy not to do'
ECHL team plans to spoof Cheney's hunting accident

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- A minor league hockey team plans to spoof Vice President Dick Cheney's recent hunting mishap by handing out orange hunting vests with the words, "Don't Shoot, I'm Human."

Cheney accidentally shot a friend while quail hunting on a Texas ranch last month.

The Las Vegas Wranglers of the ECHL expect to distribute 1,000 vests at Friday's game, dubbed "Dick Cheney Hunting Vest Night." The Wranglers will play the Alaska Aces in the 7,000-seat Orleans Arena.

"It was sort of too juicy not to do," said Billy Johnson, Wranglers president and chief operating officer. "It's one of those events in pop culture."

2. Never thought...

that the man the administration deemed "the go to guy" on lobbying congress to support torture would go from the devil incarnate to late night punchlines and minor league hockey merchandise fodder. Oh how quickly one falls from...grace? disgrace? not sure which word applies to the Veep on this one.

5. "It was sort of too juicy not to do,"

Too juicy, indeed!

Keep an eye out on eBay for one of these babies. I'd love to see 100.000 of these tramping around the VP house in DC.

Too juicy.
