New Cheney Jokes for the Day

My wife and I were out for Valentine's dinner last night and we were having a good laugh at the Vice President's expense. Since I was raised in a rural area (southern Idaho)I grew up around hunters and have gone bird hunting myself. I'm not an avid hunter, because I don't really get much opportunity to do so. However I have nothing against a youngster (not child) owning a gun and learning propper gun safety so that they can hunt. The so-called anti-gun liberal, I am not. I don't really think guns belong in the city and certainly don't see the necessity for hand guns, but that is for a different discussion.
Back to the "laugh." Of course when you go hunting, there are certain rules that you follow so that you don't end up shooting each other. Nothing made me madder at my fellow hunters than them bringing their guns across my path while they followed a bird. In fact it would infuriate me. The reason, I didn't want one of them pulling a Cheney.

Well, I of course hope that this was nothing more than a hunting accident, but when any hunter shoots his friend, accidently or not, he deserves a little ribbing. Hell, he deserves a good butt kicking. But since it is the VP, I'll have to resort to making up a joke.

So my wife and I came up with two jokes.

First her joke: Why did Cheney shoot his hunting partner? Because his dog was out of range.

Now my joke: What do you call a guy who shoots his hunting partner? Same thing you've always called 'em, ...a dick.

I hope that this turns out to be something that we can just have a good laugh over. That means that I'm hoping that Whittington, the guy he shot, comes out of this okay.
