It’s also true that Texas has an appalling and disgraceful tradition of canned hunts on game farms.

Man, ain't that the truth. The first time I went down through the southwestern part of the Hill Country, I was completely appalled to realize that those sad-looking tiny animals on the ranches we were passing were elk and antelope. My friends I was traveling with were both avid hunters and were even more disgusted than I was.

And yeah, it's one thing to have some shot rain down on you from the sky on the other end of its arc, but it doesn't usually break the skin. Cheney shot that guy. Which is terrible, but I don't think a hunting accident would be an impeachable offense if Cheney had handled it correctly. The obfuscation and blame-the-victim bullshit is further evidence of how much contempt Cheney has for the American people.

Has Cheney commented on it? I didn't think he had said much of anything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Green Bay Packers have some private game reserve thing 20 miles from my parents' farm. They import some sort of elk/anelope-ish animals from Africa for the Packers to hunt. But the animals run wild in this huge (I think it's thousands of acres) game reserve.

I was completely appalled to realize that those sad-looking tiny animals on the ranches we were passing were elk and antelope.

How are these animals hunted? Do they have lots of space to hide, or is it, like, shooting elk in a barrel?

I like driving past the Packers' game reserve, as the road is perfectly straight for about 10-15 miles, and there's almost no traffic, so I can drive 110 mph if I want to. Hypothetically.

No, I think he's refused to comment on it. Or else he's just avoiding the press. But I'm pretty sure his office has refused comment.

Sorry, you're right. I don't think Cheney's said anything (contempt!), but McClellan's been sticking to a wording that very clearly exonerates Cheney from shooting the guy due to his sloppy (and, as I'd wager most hunters would consider them, wussy) hunting habits.

Well, commenting or not Cheney is "handling" the thing.
