OOPS, my bad! Cheney accidentally shot his hunting buddy, Harry Whittington, while quail hunting over the weekend in Texas. The 78-year-old lawyer is said to be in stable condition after being sprayed with bird-shot from the Vice President's 28-gauge shotgun. He was hit in the face, neck and chest with pellets.
Whittington had left formation and went to fetch a bird he had shot. Then he came up behind the hunting party just as Cheney turned to take a shot.
Police officials said no charges are being filed. However, there have been questions raised as to why it took nearly 24-hours before the Vice President's office reported the incident.
A spokesperson from Mr. Cheney's office said they did not release the information right away because they felt that decision was up to the ranch's owner.

It's almost too unbelievable. I just can't get my head around how Dick Cheney could possibly have shot someone.
