Cheney hunting in Florida
Cheney hunting in Florida

Florida Capital Bureau
November 27, 2006


TALLAHASSEE -- Vice President Dick Cheney flew into Tallahassee Monday afternoon to go on a hunting trip. Though there are no details of his destination, Cheney is on a hunting trip.

Exchanges on Interstate 10 were blocked earlier this afternoon and a spokesperson for the Tallahassee Police Department said it was done as security for the vice president passing through.

He's expected to be in the area through Wednesday.

Megan McGinn, spokesperson for the vice president's office in Washington, D.C., said Cheney flew into Tallahassee Regional Airport this afternoon.

Gov. Jeb Bush's office said the vice president did not meet with anyone in the governor's office.

It was on a hunting trip nine months ago in Texas that Cheney was responsible for a shooting accident. Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old Austin attorney, was shot while hunting quail with the vice president and later recovered.

15. I emailed my parents and told them to duck and cover
They're just south of Orlando, but you never know how far off course Dead-Eye Dick might go.

..so he and his asshole buddies can blast away in hopes of achieving a partial erection.

5. Thanks for the heads up
I'm a few hours away from Tallahassee but it might be a good time for more indoor activities until Deadeye is out of the state again.

11. At least this sort of hunting is illegal in FL
maybe we should alert FL Fish & Wildlife and get an officer to keep an eye on things?

47. No kidding? Wouldn't it be nice. Though since it's Jeb's Florida, nothing will happen.
Though Darth's "dark," obsession to kill endless trapped, defenseless animals is truly "sick" and out of control. Like a sex or drug addict, this guy really needs a 12-step program NOW. Plus given his shooting someone in the face last year on one such "shoot," he should have had his license suspended long time ago.

14. All is well. The oilfields are secure. Time to kill some helpless animals.
But the Iraqis will be hitting those pipelines a lot harder in the near future.

how many vacations does he take? Maybe he considers hunting as part of his salaried position?

You can do it, BE FREE!
See, they can't hit a moving target, especially when they're all hammered.
Oh look! They're shooting each other!
Guns empty? Good! DINNER TIME!

21. This time
he brought the Tomahawk Missles, so it's probably Quail again.. :)

At least in Florida there are more places to hide the bodies of their victims, swamps, alligators will take care of the rest, unless they're all still yakking up those ballot boxes..

26. He was just hunting peasants, I mean pheasants in SoDak
Of course, I guess not only can he NOT walk a field, he can't even be a blocker! And all you have to do is stand there while the walkers drive the birds towards you!


World's biggest pheasant, Huron, South Dakota

51. Can I come? I'm always up for some Cheney hunting.
although my preferred weapon is articles of impeachment rather than a 12-gauge.

Oh, I see: it meant "Cheney is hunting in Florida", not "Cheney hunting going on in Florida". My bad. :-)

53. I see a lot of mocking in this thread.
and very little credit for what appears to be a responsible and smart decision to ensure that the residents were not in any danger while Cheney was armed and in the area:

"Exchanges on Interstate 10 were blocked earlier this afternoon and a spokesperson for the Tallahassee Police Department said it was done as security for the vice president passing through."
