biggest assumption on my part. that there were even BIRDS

[seabeyond]

why would i assume that part of the story is true. they lie about everything. i could see the man walking up to the group, cheney being an ass, or drunk turns ... shoots... with no birds. just assuming it was a bird making the noise. who the f* knows with these people. why am i even giving him the benefit of the doubt he was even shooting at birds.

1. That's probably why he didn't report it. n/t

2. they were probably undocumented workers

rounded up by the militia.

3. quails are small and pretty much defenseless - so yes, there were birds

Now, if they had said they were hunting something that could fight back - I'd doubt that aspect of the story as well.

Cheney's a coward. Oh, he's mean piece of shit - but then most cowards are

4. Hmmm, yeah, what happened to those 70 birds Cheney supposedly shot

[many a good man]

5. David Brooks says Cheney hunts humans

Interesting to note that Whittington was formerly head of Texas prisons and later the Funeral Service Commission.

And it is begging for Rob Corddry's magic touch!
