[Vision2020] Cheney Shoots Hunting Parnter

[Art Deco]

J Ford,

A similar story on CNN includes this:

Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail.

Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey.

Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Armstrong said.

"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by God, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."

So, in addition to being an unsafe hunter, Cheney is also a road hunter.  He would fit in just fine with some of Latah County slob hunters.
