Really, has it only been 2 years since VP Dick Cheney shot his friend Harry Whittington in the face? Seems longer for some reason.. Maybe because so much more has happened SINCE then.
On February 11, 2006, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old Texas attorney, while participating in a quail hunt on a ranch in Kenedy County, Texas. Whittington was shot in the face, neck, and upper torso with birdshot pellets from a 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun.
First public news of the incident was called in to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on February 12, 2006, by ranch owner Katharine Armstrong. [1] The Bush administration disclosed the shooting incident to the public the afternoon of February 12. Local authorities released a report on the shooting on February 16, 2006 and witness statements on February 22. All of the witness statements conflict with the Sheriff’s reports over the time of the shooting.
The above is NOT satire. The below IS satire..
In honor of this momentous occasion, I thought I’d put this video interview up once again with “the Dick”:

Or, I could bake a quail-shaped cake with those little silver decoration balls on top (that LOOK like buckshot..).
Better yet, a face shaped cake with buckshot on top!

I remember vividly – I saw it on the news. I lept off of the couch and announced, “I gotta go to Think Progress!”
Of course all of you folks were way ahead of me with an already existing thread.
Spudge Boy, who was already there, said
“Everyone, on three…. Cheney’s Got a Gun….”
(ala Aerosmith)
I still giggle when I think of that.
**good times**
