Bush says Cheney shot blindly, if I'm hearing correctly. Nice use of words brush flush. Guy should be an effin' writer.

2. How could he HEAR a bird flush if he was wearing "ear protection"?
:shrug:

He SAW a bird take off, swung around wildly to shoot it, and got "Ole Whitty" instead..

Then he probably uttered>>>"OH SHIT, I SHOT WHIT"

Then they all decided he was "ok", but after a while, when the bleeding would not stop, they took him to a podunk local hospital, thinking they would bandage him up and send him home.. When the doctors there airlifted him to Corpus Christi, the panic HAD to set in..

and then they started spinning that yarn into a BIG OLE LIE..

3. When I heard Kat Armstrong say the "bird flushed", I first thought...
Wow, wingless birds who can flush, now there's a game bird for ya.

Unfortunately, the poor things were just "flushing" to escape only to die under shotgun pellets shot by a big, "brave" chickenhawk.

6. Sound shot.....
I was going hunting (deer) on a ranch in North Central Texas.

We got there at night and went to the lodge to eat and drink (a LOT). There were about 8 guys that had been hunting that afternoon.

We asked if anyone had had any luck.
A few sightings but no kills.
Then one of the guys said he had heard some shots.
Another guy, "Yeah, that was me. I took a couple of sound shots."
Me, "Sound shots?"
Guy, "I heard something and fired in that direction."

We left the next morning.

7. That's pretty much what Cheney said . . .
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/15/AR2006021502005.html

Q There was just two of you then?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Just two of us at that point. The guide or outrider between us, and of course, there's this entourage behind us, all the cars and so forth that follow me around when I'm out there -- but bird flushed and went to my right, off to the west. I turned and shot at the bird, and at that second, saw Harry standing there. Didn't know he was there --

Q You had pulled the trigger and you saw him?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I saw him fall, basically. It had happened so fast.

Q What was he wearing?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: He was dressed in orange, he was dressed properly, but he was also -- there was a little bit of a gully there, so he was down a little ways before land level, although I could see the upper part of his body when -- I didn't see it at the time I shot, until after I'd fired. And the sun was directly behind him -- that affected the vision, too, I'm sure.

But the image of him falling is something I'll never be able to get out of my mind. I fired, and there's Harry falling. And it was, I'd have to say, one of the worst days of my life, at that moment.

Q Then what?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, we went over to him, obviously, right away --

Q How far away from you was he?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I'm guessing about 30 yards, which was a good thing. If he'd been closer, obviously, the damage from the shot would have been greater.

Q Now, is it clear that -- he had caught part of the shot, is that right?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: -- part of the shot. He was struck in the right side of his face, his neck and his upper torso on the right side of his body.

Q And you -- and I take it, you missed the bird.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I have no idea. I mean, you focused on the bird, but as soon as I fired and saw Harry there, everything else went out of my mind. I don't know whether the bird went down, or didn't.

Q So did you run over to him or --

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Ran over to him and --

Q And what did you see? He's lying there --

THE VICE PRESIDENT: He was laying there on his back, obviously bleeding. You could see where the shot had struck him. And one of the fortunate things was that I've always got a medical team, in effect, covering me wherever I go. I had a physician's assistant with me that day. Within a minute or two he was on the scene administering first-aid. And --

Q And Mr. Whittington was conscious, unconscious, what?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: He was conscious --

Q What did you say?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, I said, "Harry, I had no idea you were there." And --

Q What did he say?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: He didn't respond. He was -- he was breathing, conscious at that point, but he didn't -- he was, I'm sure, stunned, obviously, still trying to figure out what had happened to him. The doc was fantastic --
