Cheney on receiving end of shotgun blast while hunting years ago

[AGENDA21]

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - Years before U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney accidentally shot a lawyer while quail hunting in Texas, Cheney himself was on the receiving end of an errant shotgun blast.

Carlsbad Mayor Bob Forrest said he didn't know for certain if he or his twin brother, Dick Forrest, fired the shot during the hunting trip in the late 1990s. It accidentally pelted Cheney, who was then chief executive at Halliburton Co.

The Albuquerque Journal reported the incident Sunday.

"We're probably the only twins in the United States that have shot the vice-president and never have gone to jail," Forrest joked.

4. SO

To bad he didn't heed to his own words.

"He said, 'You guys watch where you're shooting!' He was very offended," Forrest said.

What a jerk.
