Well it's finally happened. Dick Cheney has shot someone. Despite his ducking out of Vietnam, the old man has found a way to shoot another, even older man. Dick shot 78 year old Harry Whittington while hunting quail (no he wasn't hunting Bin Laden). Cheney sprayed the elderly gentleman with his shotgun despite the man wearing bright orange and being in a clear line of sight. I suppose it had to be expected, as we all know that the vice-president has an itchy trigger finger (even if he usually uses it to send thousands of Americans to kill thousands of Iraqis). But perhaps we shouldn't be too quick to judge. Perhaps Mr. Whittington had made a call overseas and in turn deserved to not only be wiretapped but shot. In the end Mr. Whittington should probably count his lucky stars as Dick refrained from torturing the old man.
