As you would expect, lots of late-night comics have had a shot at Cheney, now that he's had a shot at Whittington. I particularly liked this comment from Jon Stewart:
"Yes, as you've just heard, a near-tragedy over the weekend in south Texas. Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a man during a quail hunt at a political supporter's ranch. Making 78-year-old Harry Whittington the first person shot by a sitting VP since Alexander Hamilton."Hamilton, of course, shot in a duel with Aaron Burr over issues of honor, integrity and political maneuvering. Whittington? Mistaken for a bird."
I guess I'm not the only one who shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.
