"Dick Cheney bags a lawyer on a shooting trip"
http://www.theherald.co.uk/news/56112.html

Dick Cheney, the US vice-president, accidentally shot and injured an elderly man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas.
He sprayed Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old lawyer, in the face and chest with shotgun pellets on Saturday at a ranch in Texas....

His chief also proved to be accident-prone when he was in Scotland for the G8 summit last year. George W Bush crashed his mountain bike into a policeman as he cycled around the grounds of Gleneagles Hotel.


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Talk about the gang that couldn't shoot straight


(and a catchy headline)

1. Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred Guernsey cow!
The Hunting Song
by Tom Lehrer

I always will remember,
'Twas a year ago November,
I went out to hunt some deer
On a mornin' bright and clear.
I went and shot the maximum the game laws would allow,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

I was in no mood to trifle,
I took down my trusty rifle
And went out to stalk my prey.
What a haul I made that day.
I tied them to my fender, and I drove them home somehow,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a cow.

The law was very firm, it
Took away my permit,
The worst punishment I ever endured.
It turned out there was a reason,
Cows were out of season,
And one of the hunters wasn't insured.

People ask me how I do it,
And I say, "There's nothin' to it,
You just stand there lookin' cute,
And when something moves, you shoot!"
And there's ten stuffed heads in my trophy room right now,
Two game wardens, seven hunters, and a pure-bred Guernsey cow.
