In Cheney's defense...

In a White House photo released exclusively to FOX News, Texas lawyer Harry Whittington, who suffered shrapnel to the face, neck, and upper body after being shot by Vice President Dick Cheney during a quail hunting expedition, is seen at his desk in his law firm. The White House, in an attached press release, cited the 78-year-old campaign contributor's nuanced bird-like appearance (from his mother's side) as a mitigating factor in the vice president's decision to take aim and fire at him from 30 yards away. Doctors are keeping Whittington on a steady diet of corn and water, while watching his condition closely.
