From the Mouths of Babes
From a recent conversation with Jennifer regarding Cheney's Quail hunting accident:
You know who the president of the country is, baby?
...Bush?
That's right. And who's the Vice President?
...Mmmm. Dunno.
Cheney. The Vice President is Dick Cheney. He helps the president. He was hunting Quail down on a ranch in Texas, and he accidentally shot a man.
How?
Well, those little quail are camoflauged. You can't hardly see 'em. And then when they get up, the whole covey gets up at once. They explode right under your feet like a Claymore and fly in all different directions. It will scare you to death. And you're standing there with this loaded shotgun, and the goal is to shoot the birds, so you swing and fired and there was a man behind the Quail when Cheney shot and he got hit by the shotgun pellets.
Did he get the bird?
What?
Did he at least get the bird he was shooting at?
(Laughter). I don't know, baby. I never thought about it. That's the first time I've ever heard anyone ask that question. It's a very good question.
