Man Laughs At Cheney Shooting, And Then Is "Accidentally" Shot Six Hours Later

Need I even say it? Do not joke about Dick Cheney. You are trifling with forces you cannot possibly comprehend:

A Colorado man who laughed Monday when he first read Vice President Dick Cheney had shot a hunting companion was himself injured just hours later when he was accidentally blasted by his girlfriend in his own hunting mishap.

"I read that thing about the vice president and said to myself 'How can you shoot your friend with your gun?' And look what happened," said Josh Kayser of Lafayette, Colo.

According to the Longmont Daily Times-Call, the 21-year-old man was on the trail of raccoons that had been preying on chickens on his family's property.

As Kayser crouched down to look under a shed, his 17-year-old girlfriend, whose name was not released by authorities, crouched down behind him and accidentally shot him with a .22-caliber rifle.

The bullet reportedly entered behind his right ear, exited through his chin and ended up lodging in his left forearm.

I have it good authority that his "17-year-old girlfriend" is a balding, 270 pound former Ford Administration chief-of-staff calling herself "Chick Deney."

Thanks to Frank.

Meanwhile... Over at PoliPundit, a liberal screeches:

So let me get this straight, it’s funny that one old man mixed his booze and meds and then shot another old man in the face while he was trying to gun down a flightless bird.

Well, not ha-ha funny, but "odd" funny. Wait, I take that back. It's a little bit of both.

"Flightless bird"? Of course, of course. Quail are often referred to as "marsh emus." Or sometimes "fenguins."

Now, having lectured us all on the seriousness of shooting a man, he continues:

... This whole thing is definitely a great example of two birds with one stone. Too bad he fired before he completely spun around he could have knocked off a few more in that sick elitist cabal.

I... see. It's wrong to joke about it, but it's jim-dandy to seriously wish for actual human deaths.
