He traveled with a gun in every hand

Bad week for the Veep. First, it turns out that he instructed Scooter Libby to leak Valerie Plame's identity to the press, then, this weekend Vice President Cheney became the second sitting VP to actually shoot a man, and as he was leaving the hunting grounds he was heard to remark, "You can call me Aaron Burr by the way I'm..."

In related news, what's with the suit? Where is Cheney hunting? Studio 54?

I think the lesson is: The Vice President needs to STOP HUNTING. I'm serious; every time with this guy.

Additionally, "Vice President shoots man in face" has to be the greatest non-Onion political headline ever.

Cheney's mishap set off an hilarious firestorm on the liberal blogs, where some discussed a conspiracy theory, a coverup, and, most humorously, cruelty to animals. In other news, we're still at war.
