Default Cheney shoots someone (I'm not kidding)

Dick Cheney on John Kerry in 2004:

"If Cheney now finds himself criticized or lampooned, he'll ironically
be in the same position he himself put Senator John Kerry in during the
final days of the 2004 Presidential campaign, though the circumstances
then did not involve a potentially deadly accident. At the time, Cheney
used his widely-known experience as a hunter to mock a duck-hunting
foray in Ohio in which Senator John Kerry ended up shooting a goose.
"The senator who gets a grade of 'F' from the National Rifle
Association went hunting this morning," Cheney reportedly said, to
hoots. "I understand he bought a new camouflage jacket for the
occasion, which did make me wonder how regularly he does go goose
hunting." As the Texas incident shows, experience does not make
hunters immune to accidents, which is why hunting advocacy groups put
such a relentless focus on safety as the top priority. "
