Cheney to go hunting on Election Day

Vice President heads to S.D. for first trip since accidentally shooting friend

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney will spend Election Day on his first hunting trip since he accidentally shot a companion last February while aiming at a covey of quail on a private Texas ranch.

The vice president, after working at the White House on Monday morning, will head to South Dakota to spend several days at a private hunting lodge near Pierre. Lea Anne McBride, his press secretary, said it was an annual hunting outing and said Cheney spent Election Day in 2002 at the same lodge.

He will be accompanied by his daughter, Mary, and his political director, Mel Raines, who will help him keep track of the election returns, McBride said.

On a Feb. 11 hunting trip in Texas, Cheney shot attorney Harry Whittington in the torso, neck and face when he pulled the trigger on his 28-gauge shotgun.

Just another way for the GOP to discourage the voters?

1. I guess he knows that the votes really aren't

going to be counted, so why bother to vote? I can't see him taking the time to fill out an absentee ballot.

2. Right, and besides...

he knows Karl Rove will vote for him - thousands of times.

3. I think we're safe--from him, anyway. I heard he invited Haggard along.

4. "we're safe--from him,..."

Gee, I don't feel that way. The Cheney shotgun has a WIDE blast-pattern.
