Your headline contest for today

"Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter," The Associated Press, February 13, 2006.

If you want more details check out the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, which broke the story.

What I would like my readers to propose is what the subhead should be to this story.

My suggestion: "Vice President, Relying on Raw Intel Reports, Convinced Victim was Deer."

UPDATE: Pajamas Media has a quick roundup of blog reactions.

"When told of victim's blood loss, Cheney replies 'Deficits don't matter.'"

"Convinced victim was deer"? Typical, absolutely typical, left-wing bias and light-hearted indifference to factual accuracy.

Wrong: He thought the victim was a QUAIL.

Took the wind outta your sails there, eh? Eh, smart guy?

I'm hoping for Victim Was A Federalist.

i wonder what this guy knew that cheney wanted to kill him so badly?

i would press charges for assult with a deadly weapon.

I hope he rots in prison for the rest of his life.

a little sad though, never to see true justice for his crimes. like convicting al capone on tax evasion. but it gets the job done.

So far, the spinmeisters are pinning much, if not all, the blame on the victim for not following hunting protocol. Should read:

"Cheney pal blocks shot; foils sport kill"

"Cheney Gunshot Victim 'In Last Throes'"

Seriously, this will be less of a scandal than it should be because most newspaper and TV reporters don't hunt.
