Hmmmm... Sounds like group neurosis. The entire adminstration needs to be put on the couch. None of them can determine the difference between fantasy and reality. Wishing something to be true does not make it so. Definitely signs of Paranoid Schizophrenia with Illusions of Grandeur.

How true, but sad. It was also mentioned that the shooting occurred near 6:30 p.m. when the sun is down in Texas. However, VP Cheney stated the sun may have affected his accuracy.
"With the line of questions and answers, it appears as though the sun has come down on the truth and everyone who can't recognize it. The accuracy of a good investigation has also been shot down!"
Oh what a web we weave when we don't go to school!

Just for shits and giggles I took an old manaquin that I use for target practice and set it up 30 yards away, loaded up my 12 guage Mossberg shotgun with bird shot and blasted it. WOW! Guess what!! The birdshot barely marked the plastic! I then put a thick flanel shirt on the manequin and shot again. Wow! NOT ONE PELLET PENETRATED THE FLANEL!!! I taped a piece of paper to the flanel shirt and took another shot to see if I hit the target. Yep! I hit the tatget alright! Still not one pellet penetrated the flanel shirt!
Unless a 28 guage shotgun has a lot more punch than a 12 (and it doesn't!)Cheney is lying through his teeth! THE SHIT COULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED LIKE HE SAID!!!!

And this is what we would have ....for ...... PRESIDENT? in the event the current one was unable?
A trigger happy, loose canon OR someone that thinks we would believe any fabrication he chooses to construct?

Back in the day of wartime, coco-cola soft drink would be sent to the men at war. So who knows who shot and killed who, being the fact a small amount of cocaine was in the making of the soda?
To be a hunter of any kind, one should be responsible for his sake and others, and refrain from becoming altered in mind. This is in part of being “A True Hunter.” An actual hunter shoots at his target, not his friend or acquaintances.
My God, does being “stoned” define so much in America’s culture system, that people are willing to become murderers, accidentally or not?
Who yet believes anything VP Cheney has stated is true? If all of what he has said is true, then why hide from it? Da.
C'mon VP Cheney, . . . momma's listening. Didn’t momma ever teach you anything about the truth? Did she ever teach you that there are serious consequences to bearing a false witness?
God freely teaches, . . . LIARS WILL EXPERIENCE ETERNAL DAMNATION. If VP Cheney doesn't feel the heat now and repent from his evil ways, someday he'll wish he was never born! These are not our words, but these are the words written and spoken by God. And one CAN NEITHER shame, embarrass, shoot down, nor bring harm to the word of TRUTH and HONOR! NEVER!
To Stoney 13, . . . Thank you for your effort, and sharing with the rest of us.

Come on give it up. Everyone that was directly involved has put it benind them, the local law enforcement closed the case as an accident, the victim is satisfied. Only those that want to make it a political case are still talking about it. Give it a rest and get a life!

Browse "cheney most dangerous game". Cheney likes guns. If the wife who married such a man had a powder puff 28 guage shotgun and didn't like what a lackey lawyer said, what might be her women-equal-men emotional response? What if she were on drugs? Would a cover-up at that point make sense?

The Secret Service recorded the shooting as having occured at 6:50pm, but the local sunset, according to NOAA, is listed as 6:38. So the shooting occured 12 minutes after the disk of the sun was entirely below the horizon. Wasn't the vice-president quoted as saying that the sun was behind the victim when he fired? Clearly not so. Also, that's pretty dark to be doing any serious bird shooting. More likely, the hunt was over, and the beer was out.

One ommission,when Chenny on Murdoc's News was asked---You shot your buddy/ and his responce--No,he's an associate! But what got me is the UGLY AMERICAN'S DICK FACE-showed.I really do feel,that Chenny meant to kill. Does anyone know if he is a
Son of abitch?

It wasn't the press - it was the police that should have been notified immediately. The rest would have fallen into place.
Looks to me the delay was to get their story straight (which they didn't) not the "facts" and statements by Katharine Armstrong and Mr. Whittington (no one was drinking / foremost no alcohol was involved)were a "cidcling of the wagons".
As for the "official investigation" two days after the shooting they check a box that the VP did not appear intoxicated! Two days!
His actions were akin to leaving the scene of an accident in which there was bodily injury.
The case may be "closed" but questions (truth) linger.

I find this "report" and accusations to be absurd. First of all, secret
service reports are confidential and the author has failed to produce this
evidence. (I guess that's why they call it the SECRET SERVICE) Second, I
have run a "Trap and Skeet club in Corpus Christi TX and NEVER observed
ANYONE shoot at this facility that had ANY alcohol. Nor would I or any other
shooter tolerate this type of behavior. I have also been on numerous hunts
in South Texas and have never witnessed anyone drinking while hunting nor
would I EVER be anywhere near anyone who had consumed any alcohol and was
handling a loaded fire arm. Only complete fools would do so. I also ran
skeet competitions and I can tell you that most shooters value their
reputations and scores in these shoots. Just as on hunts, most value their
reputations and their proven prowess in handling a shot gun. I just find it totally
out of character for most true hunters to indulge in this reckless behavior.
Third....I find it simply absurd that the secret service, who is responsible
for protecting the Vice President, to allow anyone near the VP with a loaded
gun, after having consumed large quantities of alcohol. Too me, that would
demonstrate reckless and dangerous behavior which is out of character even for
the Secret Service........
