Cheney returns to the Armstrong Ranch.

Vice President Dick Cheney will be in South Texas this weekend for “another hunting trip on the same ranch where he was involved in a hunting accident” back in Feb. 2006. Cheney’s press office confirmed that he is heading to the Armstrong Ranch, “the same place where Cheney accidentally sprayed Austin lawyer Harry Whittington with birdshot over his face and torso while they were both hunting quail”:

KRIS-6 News contacted Mr. Whittington on Thursday. He said he does not have plans to go hunting with Cheney this time around, but he did say, “I hope he has a good hunt.”

After initially denying that alcohol had played a role in the shooting accident, Cheney later admitted to Fox News that he did drink beer prior to the hunt.
