WASHINGTON


Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot and injured a man during a weekend quail hunting trip in Texas, his spokeswoman said Sunday.

Harry Whittington, 78, was "alert and doing fine" after Cheney sprayed Whittington with shotgun pellets on Saturday at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas, said property owner Katharine Armstrong.

Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington. She said Whittington was taken to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital by ambulance.

Cheney's spokeswoman, Lea Anne McBride, said the vice president was with Whittington, a lawyer from Austin, Texas, and his wife at the hospital on Sunday afternoon.

Sista P: Last thing I heard it was over 20 inches of snow in NYC. It's probably more by now. We've stopped watching and listening to the incessant reports.
On Friday we tried to get some essentials in our neighborhood supermarket. We had to leave in disgust. It was as if the world was ending how it was packed! So yesterday we went up to Westchester where it wasn't so bad. Some people (like my son) are happy to have the snow. I've been here before Wappy kill Fillup but am still never happy to see the white blanket. :eek :eek

Yardy: The only reason I would have made an effort to trek all the way to Brooklyn to see Portia would have been to ask her the diaspora voting question. But it's not worth the effort. No mattter how dem dis we on this question, we naw stop send the money because is our loved ones who'll suffer, not the politrixans.

Have you noticed over the years under this tree how our discussions become Gleaner articles shortly after?Coincidence, I guess.
