White House says "Cheney properly licensed"....

[catnhatnh]

...GREAT-when is Republican season in Texas????

[NanceGreggs]

1. How fast can you be licensed to shoot them ...

... and is there a LIMIT?

[Jacobin]

2. thats a lie

he didn't have an upland game bird stamp

[catnhatnh]

5. Yeah,but so far as law enforcement knows....

...they weren't forced to medivac any fowl....

[Vanje]

12. he didnt need an upland bird stamp

You dont need a bird stamp to shoot elderly lawyers.
If Cheney had shot a bird, he would have needed an upland bird stamp.

[DeadManInc]

20. How about a yellow bellied scum sucker?

[Olney Blue]

3. It's already started- ask Whittington.

[FormerRepublican]

4. Nope, he was missing a sticker and got a citation.

Was on the incident report that was previously posted here (from Raw Story?).

[Vickers]

6. Oh, he *did* have a "Hunting While Intoxicated" tag? That's fantastic.

:eyes:

[misternormal]

7. Smoking gun has a copy of the report...

...and as far as I can see neither of them were licensed properly. IN the violations section, they were both charged with the "no fine, no punishment" violation.

Each day brings more and more to light.

[LynnTheDem]

8. LOL!!!

A LOT of us in Texas wanna know that. :D

[leftchick]

9. Actually cheney was in violation....

<snip>
The Parks and Wildlife Department said Cheney and Whittington will be given warning citations for violating game law by not having an upland game bird stamp, a requirement that went into effect in September. Cheney had a $125 nonresident hunting license, the vice president's office said Monday night in a statement, and has sent a $7 check to cover the cost of the stamp.

[Plausible]

15. why no fines?

is that normal for anyone caught without the stamps in Texas?

[leftchick]

16. normal for fascists

this confirms our fascist dictatorship.

[Lefty48197]

10. Aaron Burr eat your heart out. Cheney will get away with his shooting. .

.

[Inland]

17. Excellent historical reference. I will steal this. nt

[Wordie]

11. I wonder if that's true...

maybe that's what the delay was all about. Maybe he needed time to get a retroactive extension of an expired license???

I'm only speculating, but the delay in telling the press does seem odd.

[ewagner]

13. Typical Bush Admin behavior

they get cited for something very minor...something that could have even been an honest mistake...and instead of admitting it they go on a full=frontal assault....We're not wrong...the whole world is wrong and we're the only ones who are right...

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Well how do I get one of those license?

I may be able to get into this whole hunting thing after all! :D

[Inland]

18. Has he bagged his limit" nt

[Imalittleteapot]

19. Typical Whitehouse response --- never go into details

NO STICKER on the licensed.
