Local news says Cheney is in the area for another "hunting" outing at the exclusive
Rolling Rock Club in Ligonier, PA. If you recall there was a lot of criticism over his last trip there when it was revealed that Cheney shot 70 pheasants which were released from nets and basically had little chance of escape. Of the 500 birds released for Cheney's party of 10, at least 417 were shot.

Article about his last "hunting" trip here:

Wonder if Cheney will manage not to shoot any of his fellow "hunters" this time?

1. All emergency rooms in the area are on standby...
...for gunshot wounds or heart attacks?;)

2. Perhaps one of the reasons that there isn't enough body armor for our troops
is that they are diverting part of the supply to equip Cheney's "hunting" partners.

8. I think he has a mobile emergency room following him anyway
He should probably have two when he "goes hunting."

4. Don't know. Who would be stupid enough to go hunting with Dick?
I could suggest possible hunting partners. Richard Mellon Scaife lives in Ligonier. Maybe he's available.

7. And hide the elderly lawyers, too!
Now that Cheney has a little taste of "the most dangerous game," I wouldn't trust him.

6. A "canned" hunt...
...would you really expect anything else from Cheney. Somebody like that tries to rig every contest or endeavor in advance so they can't lose no matter how inept, unskilled, or unqualified they are.

11. Bunny posted a link to this story in the Pennsylvania forum:
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribunereview/news/westmoreland/s_487539.html

From the article:

"Cheney will land this morning at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport near Latrobe and travel by motorcade to the private club, where he will join unidentified hunting companions, Cheney spokeswoman Lee Anne McBride said."

Guess they don't want to release the names until the next of kin are notified.

12. Any lawyers in his hunting party, how about bottles of Chivas Regal scotch?
