Another Blog Calls Bullshit

Check this out. Basically, this site is saying the same thing I am regarding how close Cheney was to his victim, but they actually had the time to do the math. The verdict? Whittington was probably more like 10-15 yards away, possibly as close as 5 yards.

As I said earlier, I was inclined to let this one go, as it sounded like a simple hunting accident, but I believe that some of the details are sketchy and someone should look into this further. Maybe Cheney is embarrassed he shot someone at such close range. Maybe he had more than one beer at lunch. Who knows? But something's definitely fishy.

Something Fishy

My first inclination when I heard about Dick Cheney's little hunting accident was to let it go. I knew the media would try to make something out of what was most likely nothing. Then I read a story or two about it. Here's what I'm not buying. A story in this morning's Newsday showed a graphic of the damage to Whittington's neck and chest. (The graphic is apparently not on Newsday's site.) I'm no CSI investigator or anything like that, but I have a hard time believing that a 28-gauge can do that sort of damage with that sort of shot pattern at 30 yards. I think either Whittington was closer than reported or Cheney's choke was tighter than it probably should have been for bird hunting.
