Dont piss Cheney off while you're hunting with him...
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting companion is reported in stable condition at a Corpus Christi, Texas, hospital, a day after he was accidentally shot by Cheney.
The incident occurred Saturday at a ranch in south Texas where the vice president and two others were hunting quail.
Ranch owner Katharine Armstrong says Cheney was using a 28-gauge shotgun and that attorney Harry Whittington was about 30 yards away when Cheney fired on a bird, hitting the 78-year-old Whittington in the cheek, neck and chest.
The shooting was not reported publicly by the vice president's office for nearly 24 hours, and then only after the incident was reported by a Corpus Christi newspaper.
Cheney's spokeswoman says the vice president met with Whittington and his wife at the hospital today. She says Cheney "was pleased to see that he's doing fine and in good spirits."
