Dick Cheney shoots fellow hunter: Is Ana Lucia on Lost really VP's lovechild?

This sounds way too much like what happened on Lost when Ana Lucia shot Shannon: The Vice-President of the United States unloaded his shotgun on a 78-year old man during a hunting trip in Texas this weekend.

Does this sound like someone who's very responsible with firearms to you?

Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington.

Well, it was sort of easy to figure that Cheney was the trigger-happy sort. Never thought he'd ever be that literally though.

Let's be serious about something here: if this man cannot be trusted to handle a loaded shotgun, he should not be trusted enough to handle "the football", if you know what I mean.

Part of me is wondering if alcoholic beverages were involved in this thing...
