"Something Bit Me!"

Don't mess with Texas.

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.

The writers at SNL, The Daily Show, and the late night talk shows must be in full chicken-with-head-cut-off mode by now.

Let's see if we can help them out.  First the low-hanging fruit:

• "Boy, the White House will really do anything to take the focus off this domestic eavesdropping business."
• "When the administration said they were setting their sites on the elderly population, we didn't know they meant it literally."
