Hunting?

[poliphilo]

Correct me if I'm wrong but

the birds that Dick Cheyney and his elderly playmates were wasting at the time of the unfortunate accident were

flightless
tame
And herded in front of the guns

and Dick and his elderly playmates were blasting them from a distance of about 3 yards.

What sort of a sick fuck would want to be doing something like that?

If this makes Dick a hunter then the guy with the bolt gun down the abattoire is Buffalo Bill.

Sorry, but to the best of my knowledge you are incorrect.

Quail are not flightless, nor are they tame. They might be spooked into flight by dogs, but they're not herded in front of the guns. Upland bird hunting in Texas happens at ranges of 5-30 yards, and you have to be fairly quick and accurate with a shotgun to hit a bird as it startles out of the tall grass.

Cheney *is* a bastard and a sick fuck, but not for the reasons you describe.

the dude was 30 yards away, from what i can tell. i think the fact that the white house was making jokes about it was the worst thing of all. (also, not to nitpick, but it's "cheney", not "cheyney")

Don't look at me, I don't get it either.

"elderly playmates" - lol.

To top it off....

All Dickie got was a slap-on-the-wrist ticket for not having his $8 game bird stamp on his hunting license.
