White House mouthpiece Scott McClellan. I can imagine the conversation this weekend:

McClellan: Hello

Cheney's person: Scott, there's been an accident involving the vice president

McClellan: My God! What happened?

Cheney's person: As you know, the vice president was hunting this weekend and there was a shooting

McClellan: He's not hurt is he? Is he dead?

Cheney's person: No. He's not dead. But he's seems he's accidentally shot Harry Whittington

McClellan: You're kidding right.

Cheney's person: I wish I was sir.

McClellan: I wish he'd shoot me.

This is quite the amusing story over the weekend. Lest we forget it took them more than a day to notify anyone with this infomation. We must also remember that Cheney has been hunting with Justice Antonin Scalia before. I bet they don't again. It must have been the nurse at the VA hospital that got him so riled.
