Re: Vice President Shoots Lawyer
JTEX WROTE:<br /><br />PW2, here's your "rational explaination [sic]", provided by an actual eye-witness (owner of the ranch):<br /><br />D!ck, the lawyer and what's her name (Swiss ambassadeur or something) got outta the car to shoot at some birds. Lawyer got one & went to pick it up. D!ck and Switzerland walked on, leaving Lawyer behind, and flushed another covey. Meanwhile Lawyer followed approaching from behind. He was about 90 feet away when D!ck and Switzerland flushed the aforementioned covey. D!ck selected a target and, forgetting Lawyer was behind him, swung all the way round, forgot to check his line of fire beyond the target, and peppered Lawyer with birdshot.<br /><br /><br />Now it's all clear to me. (Shaking head in disbelief!) And this guy is a heartbeat away from being president! I feel better already.<br /><br />According to Texas statistics, there were over 1 million bird licenses issued, representing millions of hunter trips and hours in the field. There were 29 accidents of any kind reported.<br /><br />That's an accident rate of 3/1000 ths of one percent. I guess our vice president is indeed "Special"<br /><br />Further quote:<br />Subsequently, D!ck made the prudent decision to allow the White House press secrectary to determine the time and manner of media notification<br /><br />And they chose to allow a private citizen to give the story the next morning to some local reporter! If that is indicative of the administration's decision making process at work, I'm surprised Iraq has gone as good as it has!<br /><br />I guess it achieves the goal of getting all the other scandals and misdeeds of this admin off the front pages--for a while, at least.<br /><br />I guess the only question left unanswered is who is in line for "The Presidential Medal of Freedom" in this escapade!!!
