ON this date in 2006 - In Texas, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a quail hunt.
US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple, also on the hunt, quickly left the grounds as they were the only Dems present and they worried Cheney's shot was no accident.
Not surprisingly, Cheney continued to support no gun control; he said later "What do you mean, I can only shoot quail who are birds, I was shooting at Dan Quail."

ON this date in 2006 - In Texas, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a companion during a quail hunt.
Fellow hunters Bun Man and Mr. Purple were to his left and grateful they were.
Cheney later remarked to the President, "We really should consider inviting Democrats on these hunts; it would be viewed as conciliation, and I would view it as more quails."
