"Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter," The Associated Press, February 13, 2006. If you want more details check out the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, which broke the story. What I would like my readers to propose is what the subhead should be to this story. My suggestion: "Vice President, Relying on Raw Intel Reports, Convinced Victim was Deer." UPDATE: Pajamas Media has a quick roundup of blog reactions. posted by Dan on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PMComments: "When told of victim's blood loss, Cheney replies 'Deficits don't matter.'" "'Big Time' in Big Accident on the Ranch" posted by: CMC on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"Convinced victim was deer"? Typical, absolutely typical, left-wing bias and light-hearted indifference to factual accuracy. Wrong: He thought the victim was a QUAIL. Took the wind outta your sails there, eh? Eh, smart guy? posted by: P. Froward on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]I'm hoping for Victim Was A Federalist. posted by: rilkefan on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]i wonder what this guy knew that cheney wanted to kill him so badly? i would press charges for assult with a deadly weapon. I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life. posted by: u on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]a little sad though, never to see true justice for his crimes. like convicting al capone on tax evasion. but it gets the job done. posted by: u on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"Insurgency in Last Throes: Cheney to Take Up Hunt for Bin Laden, Claims First Terrorist Scalp." posted by: Hemlock for Gadflies on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"Cheney Foils Terror Plot; Friendly Fire Casualty to Receive Medal of Freedom at White House Ceremony." posted by: Hemlock for Gadflies on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]So far, the spinmeisters are pinning much, if not all, the blame on the victim for not following hunting protocol. Should read: "Cheney pal blocks shot; foils sport kill" posted by: wishIwuz2 on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]My proposed subhead: Blames Democracts for "Distraction" posted by: RCinProv on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]Quail, pheasant, peasant -- what's the difference? Fire away, Dick. posted by: dvb on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]Here's my subheading: Democrats Respond: Cheney Proven Guilty until Innocence Lost in Hearings. posted by: enrico on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"Laughter heard from Daryl Cagle's house" "Pelosi blasts 'distraction' from Iraqi intelligence hearings" "Quail retreats to secure, undisclosed location" posted by: Dave on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"What?

"Cheney Gunshot Victim 'In Last Throes'" Seriously, this will be less of a scandal than it should be because most newspaper and TV reporters don't hunt. posted by: Zathras on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"Millionaire lawyer survives; Cheney braces for lawsuit" posted by: Lorenzo on 02.12.06 at 11:42 PM [permalink]"He Sorta Looked Like a Quail" "I Thought All Quail Wore Orange Vests" "Those Texas Quail Are Reallly Big!"
