How is it that Vice President Cheney can shoot a man, albeit accidentally, on Saturday during a hunting trip and the American public not be informed of it until 21 hours later? Btw…the man Cheney mistook for a quail, millionaire attorney Harry Whittington, was in plain sight, wearing a bright orange vest at the time the vice president blasted him. But don’t be concerned — hunting accidents are common. In Texas, there were 30 accidents and two hunting deaths last year. Dick’sducking the reporters, but he will receive a warning citation from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for not having a special bird-hunting stamp.
