Dear Members,

I've always been told that if you break the law, ignorance is
not a defence - especially if you are black and or poor!
However, blantantly, of course this does not seem to apply to
Mr. VEEP nor to Mr. Bush! With all the high price lawyers they
have around them - and even the lawyer victum who Mr. Veep
shot, (No accident?), you would think that they had all their
bases covered! I guess they just don't care about anything!

Can't wait for tomorror's Zeta and Mrs Nancy's 8 pm (est)

Armageddoom!

Cheney and shooting victim were hunting illegally, officials
say
BY DAVE MICHAELS AND TODD J. GILLMAN
The Dallas Morning News
DALLAS - Vice President Dick Cheney was hunting illegally -
without the required $7 stamp on his license for quail - when
he accidentally shot one of his hunting partners, Texas Parks
and Wildlife officials said Monday.

And so was Harry Whittington, 78, who was recovering Monday
from a shotgun blast to the face, neck and chest.

In its report, the state agency that oversees hunting and
fishing said it found that neither Cheney nor Whittington had
purchased the game bird stamp required to hunt quail in Texas,
although both had valid hunting licenses. Both will get
warning citations, and there will be no fine or other penalty.

Cheney's office said Monday he hadn't realized he was lacking
the proper stamp and has since sent a $7 check to the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department.

"I don't know how they missed it," said Cheney spokeswoman
Jennifer Mayfield. A statement from Cheney's office said his
staff had asked for applicable permits and would "take
whatever steps are needed to comply with applicable rules."

Cheney has not commented publicly about the accident, which
took place on the 50,000-acre Armstrong Ranch in Kenedy County
on Saturday afternoon.

The incident dominated cable TV, radio and talk shows Monday
and provoked heated exchanges between the White House press
corps and Bush press secretary Scott McClellan on the nearly
24-hour delay in disclosing the accidental shooting.

McClellan said Cheney's first priority - and that of the White
House - was to ensure that Whittington got proper medical
care, though he had no ready explanation for why that
precluded public disclosure.

He said Bush aide Karl Rove told the president about 8 p.m.
Saturday that Cheney had shot someone, and McClellan learned
that night from the White House Situation Room "that there had
been a hunting accident, and that is was a member of the vice
president's hunting party." More details emerged in a 6 a.m.
Sunday call from aides, and McClellan said he urged the vice
president's office to get the news out "as quickly as
possible."

Kenedy County Sheriff Ramon Salinas III said he knew about the
incident Saturday evening and decided then not interview
witnesses based on information from others that the shooting
was accidental.

Bush said nothing about it when he passed reporters at church
Sunday morning, and no one from the White House staff
discussed it with the national media until that afternoon,
nearly 24 hours later.
