Was Cheney's smoking gun a mushroom cloud?

So Useless Dick is finally targeting Repugs now. It always happens in the end. Of course, I'm sure he'd tell you that if he'd waited to be absolutely sure it was a quail, it would have been too late. In the post-9/11 world, you can't afford to take chances like that.

Cheney of course covered it up for a day, and then flew back to Washington. By all accounts it was an accident, but if there's any criminal suspect in the world who should be HELD on his own recognizance, it would be Cheney.

I should have more sympathy for the victim, but he's a friend of Cheney's and a longtime Texas Repug. So I don't.
