Be Vewwy Quiet...

DON'T think we're jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon in this whole VP hunting accident. So the VP shot a fellow hunter; accidents happen. When we first saw the headlines we both thought the same thing: "You're kidding me right?! Could the headlines possibly get any worse for this administration?" We thought we were reading the Onion, the well-known satirical publication. The only improvement to make would be to end the report with, "insert joke here."

So in that spirit, we offer you a few of the jokes floating around the late night airwaves poking fun at the recent incident:

David Letterman:
"We can't get bin Laden, but we nailed a 78-year-old attorney."

Rob Corddry (The Daily Show):

"The Vice President is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. Now, according to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time there were quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face."
