WASHINGTON (Feb. 12) - Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets.

Harry Whittington, a millionaire attorney from Austin, was "alert and doing fine" in a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday after he was shot by Cheney on a ranch in south Texas, said Katharine Armstrong, the property's owner.

He was in stable condition Sunday, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System in Corpus Christi.

Armstrong in an interview with The Associated Press said Whittington, 78, was mostly injured on his right side, with the pellets hitting his cheek, neck and chest during the incident which occurred late afternoon on Saturday. [Thanks to Tricky Dicky for nearly killing his friend . HEY! Let's send Harry Dicky to Iraq! This should work well . Cheney is an accurate shot . Harry is just about dead anyway, so what's an inaccurate pot-shot or two? ]

She said emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to Whittington until the ambulance arrived. Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president met with Whittington and his wife at the hospital on Sunday. Cheney "was pleased to see that he's doing fine and in good spirits," she said.

[I BET HE WAS PLEASED . OTHERWISE, CHENEY COULD/SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED FIRST DEGREE MURDER .speaking of which, why hasn't that happened yet? ]

The shooting was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The vice president's office did not disclose the accident until the day after it happened. [ OF COURSE NOT . WHY IMPLICATE YOURSELF ANY SOONER THAN NEED BE? Why should any idiot, who shot a man without provocation, be allowed to freely roam the streets, just because he has title? ]

Herress-Wojhl Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, Whittington and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of quail. [. while 20-year-olds are being shot in Iraq and Afghanistan . ] .

Whittington shot a bird and went to look for it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey.

Whittington "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Herres-Wojhl Armstrong said.

[ NEVER ONE SHOULD ANNOUNCE THEMSELVES WHEN SHOOTING TO KILL . she obviously has not yet learned the proper drill! ]

"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a bird and was following it and shot. And by god, Harry was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."

[ TOO BAD, HARRY . THAT YOU WERE NOT IN IRAQ TO GET THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD BLOWN OFF BY TRICKY DICKY, JUST LIKE HE HAS DONE TO ALL SORTS OF KIDS OVER THERE .. ]

Whittington has been a private practice attorney in Austin since 1950 and has long been active in Texas Republican politics. He's been appointed to several state boards, including when then-Gov. George W. Bush named him to the Texas Funeral Service Commission.

[ HIS **OWN** FUNERAL ? ]

McBride did not comment about why the vice president's office did not tell reporters about the accident until the next day. [ BECAUSE THEY ARE FU**ING ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. ] She referred the question to Gestapo-Woman Armstrong, who could not be reached again Sunday evening.

Gestapo Woman Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong Nazi Ranch where the accident occurred, said Whittington was bleeding and Cheney was very apologetic. [BETCHA HE WAS . TOO BAD HE IS NOT SO APOLOGETIC ABOUT ALL THE KIDS WHO HAVE DIED FOR NO CAUSE IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.]

"It broke the skin," she said of the shotgun pellets. "It knocked him silly. [SILLY LIKE TRICKY DICKY AND HIS HANDLER CURIOUS GEORGE] But he was fine. He was talking [spouting rhetoric]. His eyes were open. It didn't get in his eyes or anything like that."

"Fortunately, the vice president has got a lot of medical people around him [unlike the poor folks who have no medical care] and so they were right there and probably more cautious than we would have been," she said. "The vice president has got an ambulance on call, so the ambulance came." [WHERE IS THE AMBULANCE AND MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THE MEN IN IRAQ . YOU KNOW, THE ONES WHO HAVE NO BODY ARMOR, BECAUSE TRICKY DICKY AND CURIOUS GEORGE DECIDED THAT THE SOLDIERS DIDN'T NEED ANY BODY ARMOR, AND THE HUMVEES DIDN'T NEED PLATING?]

Cheney is an avid hunter who makes annual hunting trips to South Dakota to hunt pheasants. He also travels frequently to Arkansas to hunt ducks. [ HE ALSO FREQUENTLY SUPPORTS EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO KILL WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN IRAQ AND POINTS EAST OF THE NEW-KKKNIGHTED-STATES-OF-AMERIKKKA]

Armstrong said Cheney is a longtime friend who comes to the ranch to hunt about once a year and is "a very safe sportsman." She said Whittington is a regular, too, but she thought it was the first time the two men hunted together. [WOW, HOW **SAFE** IS THAT . TWO MEN WHO ARE LONG TIME FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER HUNTED TOGETHER . IS THIS THE NEXT EPISODE OF *BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN*? I CAN JUST PICTURE IT . CHENEY GAZES DEEPLY INTO WHITTINGTON'S EYES, EMBRACING HIM AFTER HIS INJURY, AND CHENEY SAYS: "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO QUIT YOU !!! "

"This is something that happens from time to time. You now, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong. [ CHIN UP, Herr-Jahwohl Armstrong gal . THE SHRUBISTA CAVALRY WILL RESCUE YOU SOON !! You will swoon into their arms, and gaze into their eyes . as you are transported into the next neverland . ]

The 50,000-acre Armstrong ranch has been in the influential south Texas family since the turn of the last century. [i.e.: they sold slaves to keep the place running.] Katharine is the daughter of Tobin Armstrong, a politically connected rancher who has been a guest at the White House and spent 48 years as director of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association [and, branded the Negro African-Americans to mark them as ranch property] . He died [THANK GOD!] in October. Cheney was among the dignitaries who attended his funeral . [ and, most likely, was one of the dignitaries who killed the original Armstrong land-owner off .. ]
