WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.

Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.

Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.

Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

The oddest thing about this story is that it was held for a day.

The evening news says Cheney takes an entire medical team with him now, everywhere he goes. I wonder if his latest victim was able to get help from any of this entourage.

It would still be a secret if it were up to Cheney. I heard that the local press got wind of it and the cat was out of the bag.

I wonder why Cheney shot the old geezer.

How very interesting:

The confirmation was made but it is not known for certain that Cheney's office, the White House, or anyone else intended to announce the shooting if the reporter, Jaime Powell of the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, had not received word from the ranch owner.

Intelligence estimates out of Texas had identified Whittington as attempting to purchase suspicious quantities of "yellow quail". Cheney had formed a coalition to interdict the flow of insurgent quail into Texas and Whittington got in Cheney's line of fire.

It isn't Cheney's fault that Whittington was mistaken for quail. Everyone was fooled.
