Dick's got his gun out again. Goin' to shoot him some fine Republic pheasant

Via Paul The Spud, it looks like The Dick is taking a little R&R. Fresh from a hunter safety course.

Vice President Dick Cheney was scheduled to be in western Pennsylvania Monday for a hunting trip.

Yewwww! Good one!

Cheney was to fly into Arnold Palmer Regional Airport after his morning briefing in Washington, his spokeswoman, Lee Ann McBride, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Ah yes! Good old Lee Ann "Let's wait 24 hours" McBride.

Cheney will hunt at the private Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier Township, about 45 miles east of Pittsburgh, where he has hunted several times in recent years for pheasants and ducks.
Cheney will not make any public appearances, but will hunt with some companions that McBride declined to identify.

Pheasants and ducks. Yes, yes, he's been there before. In fact, he managed to slaughter entire flocks, (without shooting other Republicans). Just in case The Dick hasn't bothered to read, you know, the law... there are some bag limits on ducks and pheasants which may cause the trip to become a little boring... and short! What to shoot, what to shoot? Here, have one of these while you're thinking about it.

Companions? I suppose. They may not be identified yet, but 24 hours after Cheney has at them they'll be a household name. They may even get their own Wikipedia entry.
