VP

---

What do you guys think about the shooting? I think a big deal is being made over a simple accident. It's not like he shot the guy on purpose. Or did he? Dum dun dun.

Yea, shit happens. It's just best for you not to have that shit happen when you're vice president!

It's more that (as usual) the information originally released was deceptive (in how badly the other guy was hurt, and the circumstances of the accident).

The fact that he shot anyone period even on accident is unforgivable.Ever Hunt?The first rule is always be sure of your target. His story is that he swung the gun on a bird and his buddy who had been off walked in on them with his back to the sun. If your back is to the sun its damned near impossible to be seen. You wouldn't be seeing a bird flush in the sun either and there is no shot there, no safe shot at any rate.This incident only proves that Dick, is a dick.You never shoot into the sun and you never take a shot with out first having a positive ID of the target an making certain the target is the only thing in the line of fire.Iv been hunting a great many years and shot hundreds of thousands of rounds from many many guns and i have yet to hit anyone or even come close.Accident or not it shows his incompetence with firearms and a disregard for personal safety.

I just think the whole story is kinda funny with exception of the guy whose in the hospital dealing with the injury. I do find it a tiny bit ironic that of all the places on the body that could've been shot it happened to be his heart

What shooting?

Vice president cheney accidentally shot his friend in a hunting accident in texas.

Oh my gosh!! Poor guy:( That's absolutely horrible!So much death has been happening lately!One of my high school teachers died yesterday..and then 2 days ago someone I grew up with died too!

Im not surprised, that whole administration is stupid

I don't hunt but am well aquainted with firearms. I agree with everything grvtykllr said.It was the dishonesty of the administration that was so stupid and typical.

Those are all rules I was taught by my dad from long before I was ever to touch my first gun. Really they are all common sense for hells sake. You would have to be an incompetent idiot to do what tricky Dick did.Of course I get giddy any time I hear of anything stupid that this administration or its members do. lay down and pound my fists on the floor and howl, giggling like a school girl.I just hate the bastards

What dishonesty? Are you talking about the fact that Cheney didn't rush to a cell phone and call the New York Times as soon as it happened? Or the fact that he called a local paper instead of the New York Times?Or that fact that his buddy took an unexpected turn for the worse (which was grossly exaggerated. It was not a heart attack as reported.)

You forgot that it was a long while after it happened that it was released and that even the people at the Whitehouse that were supposed to know about it and were supposed to release it found out about it after it had been released thru unapproved media sources instead of first hand thru Dick.That and that hes a bastard in general EDIT:Where the good god damned hell is SteveA??fThis post is something he would love and i havent even seen his name on the boards for the last 3 days.Did he leave us or get banned?Despite the fact that alot of people think very low of steves social and people skills Steve did give accurate and most often helpful posts.Even being in the minority, I like the son of a bitch.

I was wondering the same thing...........and tho he pisses me off, his posts are more often than not helpful.........I was pondering something lately, has anyone else noticed that he isn't a full on, seems to hang around as much when Java isn't here? or is that just me shrugs

SteveA And Java are one and the same

In reply to: it was a long while after it happened that it was released I know for me it is something I would like to know but I'm not sure it's any of our business. I don't think I'd want the media talking about it if I were shot. Unless it was on purpose then only to make sure the person was punished for it. I think it is a personal matter for the victim and the VP to deal with.

I like SteveA. Even when we're fighting.

**he hasn't really fought with you yet, you havnt been here that long...........and even tho we have fought and i have got pm's from him moaning and preaching on at me, i still like him a bit too :smile: **

I agree with you Angel. He drove me THROUGH THE WALL a lot of time.. but I liked Steve when he was being helpful. He had good knowledge about a lot of things. It was everything else that made me pull my hair out LoL.

In reply to: you havnt been here that long Reged: 11/10/04 In reply to: he hasn't really fought with you yet True.
