SOUTH TEXAS (CAP) - Vice President Dick Cheney on Saturday accidentally shot one of his Republican hunting companions, 78-year-old Harry Whittington, during their annual "Dirty Hippy Hunt" at a ranch just southwest of Corpus Christi.
"The Vice President feels just terrible about this," said a Cheney spokeswoman. "The hunting party was creeping up on a covey of dirty hippies when one of them bolted. Cheney tracked the dirty hippy with his gun and somehow Mr. Whittington came in the line of fire."

Dirty hippy hunting is technically not legal in Texas, but so long as the dirty hippies are merely winged, law enforcement officials will generally turn a blind eye.
While Cheney maintains that the shooting was an accident, the White House was quick to claim that he did indeed have the legal authority to shoot anyone he wanted to during a time of war. Senator Patrick Leahy is rumored to be in hiding.
Despite the incident, the Cheney hunting party managed to bag an impressive 14 dirty hippies, three more than last year.
