News Item: Vice President Cheney Shoots Fellow Hunter in Mishap on a Texas Ranch.
For some reason, I feel like the ensuing discussion in the Oval Office must have been reminiscent of "Anchorman":
George W. Bush: Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast!UPDATE: In Aaron Burr's Wikipedia profile:
Donald Rumsfeld: It jumped up a notch!
George W. Bush: It did, didn't it?
Dick Cheney: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart!
George W. Bush: I saw that! Dick killed a guy! Did you throw a trident?
Dick Cheney: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident!
George W. Bush: Dick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.
"In 2006, Richard Cheney, while on a hunting trip in Texas, became the second Vice President to shoot a person while in office."Posted by Stephen Silver at February 13, 2006 01:58 PM
The Cheney shooting story made me think of the classic case every 1st year law student reads called Summers v. Tice. Of special note to this blog: the defendant's name was Tice.

Posted by: A at February 13, 2006 03:07 PMIt annoys me that the MSM is jumping all over the "Why didn't you tell us about this earlier?"
I mean, it takes a while to develop the spin on something this stupid.
When you get a chance, look at the Wilkipedia entry on Al Gore. Apparently, it's been hijacked!!
