Happy Dick Cheney Day!

[meegbear]

Happy "Cheney shot a man in the face" day. I can’t believe it’s been this long.

Wikipedia:

On February 11, 2006, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old Texas attorney, while participating in a quail hunt on a ranch in Kenedy County, Texas. Whittington was shot in the face, neck, and upper torso with birdshot pellets from a 28-gauge Perazzi shotgun.

First public news of the incident was called in to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on February 12, 2006, by ranch owner Katharine Armstrong. The Bush administration disclosed the shooting incident to the public the afternoon of February 12. Local authorities released a report on the shooting on February 16, 2006 and witness statements on February 22. All of the witness statements conflict with the Sheriff’s reports over the time of the shooting.

1. "Dick Cheney" And "Happy"

I'm sorry, but "Dick Cheney" and "happy" just do not go together.

I get sad/angry whenever I see Dick Cheney or hear his name.

3. Time flies when you're busy ruining a country doesn't it?..

Harry Whittington has to be the first man in history to publicly apologize to another man for getting accidentally shot by him.
