Four Quails and a Lawyer - Cheney's War on Feathers

In a hunting accident earlier this week, American Vice-President Dick Cheney accidentally shot 78 year old lawyer, Harry Whittington.

Cheney did not report the incident for 24 hours until it was leaked to a local paper by a ranch owner.

'I'm the guy who pulled the trigger that fired the round that hit Harry,' the Vice-President later said in a television interview.

'My dad picks the fruit, that goes to Cottee's, to make the cordial, that I like best,' Cheney also added.

The White House was quick to tell media that Whittington was in 'high spirits' and recovering quickly; however sources announced yesterday that the victim had suffered a mild heart attack following the incident.

While the public was at first disappointed the victim was not President Bush, many were relieved it was just a lawyer, and not a citizen.

Sources concur that Cheney believed Whittington may have been an escaped 'Biggest Loser' competitor and fired the shots to protect himself. Cheney
