After the White House reluctantly conceded yesterday that it sat on
the
blockbuster news that Cheney shot a hunting buddy Saturday, the
veep's
office revealed he didn't even have the proper $7 stamp on his
hunting
license to shoot quail in Texas.

Doesn't matter. If you're in the woods with a gun, during hunting
season,
you darn well better have all the paperwork in order.

It's kind of like sitting in a boat, with a fishing rod, and line,
hook,
bait, etc etc.... and the wildlife enforcement asks to see your
fishing
license. You can't just tell him, "Don't need one, we ain't caught
nothin'
anyhow."

You can still fish for snook in Florida without a snook stamp...as
long
as
you have a valid fishing license...and don't keep any snook.

If Cheney wasn't in possession of any quail, he could easily argue he
was
hunting for squirrel or other rodents.

So you think it's quite acceptable for the VP to attempt to poach, then
when caught, lie?


He had a license, just not a new type stamp.

Uh, the stamp IS the license to hunt quail. He didn't have it. He
poached.


So?


So, he was hunting without a license. It's against the law in Texas. Do
you think it's acceptable for the VP of the U.S. to break the law?


No. He should pay his fine, just like everyone else is paying theirs.
