Accidental double post, I am sorry.
But the article is really authentic-looking, don't you think?

I think he is our solution to the terrorists in Iraq. With Cheney over there the insurrection will end over night. WHEN CAN HE ARRIVE IN COUNTRY?

Get him a rifle full of buckshot and he can take out every insurgent in Iraq, starting with Zarqawi.
Then when he's done we will airdrop him into Tora Bora and see what "hunting accident" can befall Osama.

Cheney accidentally shoots fellow hunter
'Dave was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good'

Dave SingrDave, a 35-year-old government analyst, was in stable condition, a hospital spokeswoman said.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a weekend liberal-hunting trip in Texas, spraying the fellow hunter in the face and chest with shotgun pellets.
Dave SingrDave, a millionaire government analyst from Washington DC, was in stable condition in the intensive care unit of a Corpus Christi hospital Sunday, said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Health System.
The accident occurred Saturday at a ranch in south Texas where the vice president and several companions were hunting liberals. It was not reported publicly by the vice president's office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after it was reported locally by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on its Web site Sunday.
Katharine Armstrong, the ranch's owner, said Sunday that Cheney was using a 28-gauge shotgun and that SingrDave was about 30 yards away when he was hit in the cheek, neck and chest.
Each of the hunters was wearing a bright orange vest at the time, Armstrong told reporters at the ranch about 60 miles southwest of Corpus Christi. She said SingrDave was "alert and doing fine."
'Vice president didn't see him'
Armstrong told The Associated Press that emergency personnel traveling with Cheney tended to SingrDave before an ambulance -- routinely on call because of the vice president's presence -- took him to the hospital.
Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president met with SingrDave at the hospital on Sunday. Cheney "was pleased to see that he's doing fine and in good spirits," she said.
Armstrong said she was watching from a car while Cheney, SingrDave and another hunter got out of the vehicle to shoot at a covey of liberals.
SingrDave shot a liberals and went to retrieve it in the tall grass, while Cheney and the third hunter walked to another spot and discovered a second covey.
SingrDave "came up from behind the vice president and the other hunter and didn't signal them or indicate to them or announce himself," Armstrong said.
"The vice president didn't see him," she continued. "The covey flushed and the vice president picked out a liberals and was following it and shot. And by God, Dave was in the line of fire and got peppered pretty good."
SingrDave has been a private practice government analyst in Washington DC 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.
McBride did not comment about why the vice president's office did not tell reporters about the accident until the next day. She referred the question to Armstrong, who could not be reached again Sunday evening.
Armstrong, owner of the Armstrong Ranch where the accident occurred, said SingrDave was bleeding afterhewas shot and Cheney was very apologetic.
"It broke the skin," she said of the shotgun pellets. "It knocked him silly. But he was fine. he was talking. 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 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."
Cheney is an avid hunter who makes annual trips to South Dakota to hunt pheasants. He also travels frequently to Arkansas to hunt ducks, among other places.
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 SingrDave is a regular, too, but she thought it was the first time the two men hunted together.
"This is something that happens from time to time. You know, I've been peppered pretty well myself," said Armstrong.
The 50,000-acre Armstrong ranch has been in the influential south Texas family since the turn of the last century. 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. He died in October. Cheney was among the dignitaries who attended his funeral.
Cheney was legally hunting with a license he purchased in November, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokesman Steve Lightfoot said. The vice president flew back to Washington on Sunday evening, according to his office.

Funny stuff! I liked a quote I read in US News and World Report- "I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney then ride in a car with Ted Kennedy."
It's the stuff of dreams for late night comedians. Who can resist? Especially now that it looks like Harry's going to be okay. It would be a lot less funny if he had died.
