drinking and hunting...hmmm

[CJY]

Just heard the VP admit to having a "beer" hours before the accident. Hmmmm, makes me wonder why it took so long for him to become available to interviews after the shooting.

That's simple. They needed to get the victim's double into the hospital, bury the body, and buy off the county sheriff, then they had to trade in Cheney's assault cannon for a shotgun and pick up all the empty 20mm cannon shells off the ground. These things take a little time, ya know.<br /><br />The beer admission is just a red herring.

That's right, treat the plausible as the sublime.<br />Good one.<br /><br /> Hopefully, those aware will come forward and support or refute what the VP has stated. Hope is that the lawyer will be able to give an accurate account of the days events.<br /><br />My question: if the alcohol is as irrelevant as Cheney suggests, why bring it up at all?

Re: drinking and hunting...hmmm

Drinking "a" beer hours before the accident hardly factors into this. Do these people ever think maybe he said that because it was the truth? Maybe he just wanted the people to hear it from him first, before the media heard it from another source and blew that all out of porportion like they did with the accident in the first place.

What Dave said.<br /><br />CJY,<br /><br />I asked this of PW but got nuttin'. What do you think really happened that has you so concerned? I am serious. Just one plausible concern that you have that warrants the attention that it is getting? Other than the obvious humor, (not obvious to Cheney or Whittington, but obvious non the less) what is there, there?

D!ck's all right! I didn't like him so much at first, but now I'm starting to think maybe he's one of the good 'ol boys.

Haven't been following it on here, but has it been posted yet that the VP did not have the proper habitat stamp on his license? Game wardens gave him a written warning for the license violation.

Re: drinking and hunting...hmmm

That law change just took place this year in the license requirments, most people dont know it yet, and they dont tell you when you go in to buy a license. If you go buy a texas hunting license, and say I need a hunting license, You have to purchase a seprate stamp to hunt migratory birds, you also have to buy a seprate stamp to hunt non- migratory birds (the stamp he didnt have)<br /> If you gon and buy a fishing license, you are allowed to fish for salt water fish, If you fresh water fish , you have to buy a seprate freshwater fishing stamp to go with your fishing liscense. <br /> Its called revenue inhansement. What ever happened to the good old days when you went in and bought a hunting and fishing comb. license and you could fish or hunt anything. Rant Rant Rant. Bad thing is I have seen several citations issued this year, because the people were uninformed. They had to pay a big fine. More revenue inhansment. Rant Rant Rant. AND Poor OLD D!CK CHEANEY got caught in a revenue inhansment scheme. Ironic isnt it. Rant Rant Rant

Re: drinking and hunting...hmmm

why should the game license seller have to tell ya anything? the rules are clearly written in each years rule book. all ya gotta do is read the rules, hire an attorney to try to interpet them, buy any and all stamps avalible and pray ya got everything when the fish cop shows up.<br /> no sheet.<br /> we have been written tickets and told to hold them pending an interpetation of the law. half our fish cops here cant keep up with the changing rules. however I have never seen a warning when it involved a game law violation. ya get a ticket then you can splain it to the judge.<br />if in texas giving warnings is standard ops I dont see an issue. if its not standard practice I dont see why the VP did not get a ticket like the rest of us would if we missed a stamp or a minute rule change.<br /> but I wish the press would drop this non event and focus on real events.

I'm not concerned at all, hence my lack of posts to the original shooting thread.<br /><br />What I do find fascinating though is how time adds a great deal of clarity to clouded situations. Prior to this, I never gave it a thought. Accidents happen, and that truly is how I feel. I have a problem with the truth coming out just before it is uncovered. This absolutely gives me reason to now doubt the afternoons events as offered by the VP. Prior to this admission, I could have cared less except that I wish the best possible recovery for the shootee.<br /><br />I also think W should have been less quick to climb on the VP's account of the story(He jumped on before there was a public admission of alcohol). Why you ask? Because if the beer or beers were consumed closer to the hunting incident, well, W cannot afford another foot in his mouth.<br /><br />If the events did not transpire as indicated by the VP, it will eventually come out. At this point, we can only wait and see.

"Lets beat this horse a little more"<br /><br />Alcohol has given us a brand new horse, in my opinion.

Well,.............<br /><br />Just EXACTLY What was Covered Up,..???????????????<br /><br />The Accident Happened,......<br />The Victim was given Immediate Medical Attention,+ transported to the Hospital,.......<br />The Authorities Were Notified,.......<br />The "Local Newspaper" was told of the Accident,........<br /><br />In a Nutshell,........<br /><br />The Only Thing,.. Not Done,.... Was that the Liberals at CNN Weren't Personally called,+ told of the Accident..............................................................

 

[CJY]

Re: drinking and hunting...hmmm

Not true Bondo. We have since learned a couple of days after the shooting that alcohol was consumed sometime prior to the shooting. That now makes me suspicious of the amount and the time at which the alcohol was actually consumed. 3 days ago, prior to the admission of alcohol, you would have called it nothing more than a witch hunt if an iboater would have suggested any alcohol involvement at all. Well, we now have admission of that, which is what makes me, and I am sure others question the amount and time frame relative to the shooting in which is was involved. <br /><br /><br />If you don't believe it played a role at all, I have no problem at all with that. I'm not saying that it did. I simply don't know. I would though, like to hear from other people regarding their recall of the days events. Any discount of the possibility alcohol played a role in this after the admission would be an absurd injustice to our system.<br /><br />A true accidental shooting, compared to a shooting that was accidental due to alcohol makes a huge difference in how this will be persued by law enforcement agents.<br /><br />For the good of the country, I truly hope that Cheney's account of the day is accurate. I do have doubt though.

"The Only Thing,.. Not Done,.... Was that the Liberals at CNN Weren't Personally called,+ told of the Accident.............................................................. "<br /><br />Again not true. Cheney was not made available for questioning by the authorities for many hours after the shooting. If you or I shot someone while hunting, we would have been questioned immediately. We would have never made it from the field prior to being questioned. Was something being covered up? Not making yourself available after the shooting certainly raises my curiosity.

Re: drinking and hunting...hmmm

Given richard Cheanys heart history I would doubt he had much to drink. on the other hand I have never heard of a Texas Game Warden giving a warning ticket. I want him to pay a healthy fine just like the rest of us. Ignorance of the law is no excuse In Texas. Ethically you dont drink achol while you hunt. But I have never heard of a citation being written in Texas for hunting while drinking, Boating yes hunting NO.<br /> Rodbolt My wife dosent hunt, last year she went to Texas Parks and Wildlife office and bought her fishing license, they sold it to her after she told them she was going to lake stamford to go fishing (Inland lake fresh) Someone had told me about the new law, so I checked her license. Sure enough no freshwater endorsement. Back to get the freshwater stamp. Im telling you It was a trap to sell you a license and be able to recieve the fine money. Pure revenue Inhancement. rant rant rant how long yall want me on this soap box.

Re: drinking and hunting...hmmm

Put a fork in it! It's overdone. Just more puke regurgitated from the wacko left wing extremists' blogs who can't get over that Al Gore lost in 2000!<br /><br />I thought I read that the shootee didn't have the proper "stamp" either??<br /><br />I also thought I read that the out of state hunting license in TX cost them almost $200. Is that true?? If true, you ought to be able to hunt anything you want.
