Huckabee's Muzzle Control Problem (fires shotgun over reporters' heads)
2007-12-29
This means the muzzle of a shotgun, not a nefarious attempt to muzzle the faithful servants of the fourth estate by gunning them down:
Pity ...
Republican Mike Huckabee took his presidential campaign for a quick pheasant-hunting expedition in Iowa on Wednesday, and at one point, a reporter asked why he hadnÂ’t invited sporting enthusiast Dick Cheney along. "Because I want to survive all the way through this," Huckabee replied, in a chuckling dig at the vice presidentÂ’s accidental shooting of a quail-hunting partner last year.

Any good sportsman, though, couldnÂ’t miss a distinctly Cheneyesque moment in the press accounts of the former Arkansas governorÂ’s morning hunt: At one point, HuckabeeÂ’s party turned toward a cluster of reporters and cameramen and, when they kicked up a pheasant, fired shotgun blasts over the groupÂ’s heads.

This, friends, is dangerously bad hunting form.
Now, how does this assclown Tankersley know that muzzle control is the problem? There could be any number of reasons that the Huckster missed the media beasts. Maybe heÂ’s just a bad shot.

#5  More proof that Huckbee is an incompetent boob, and the people of Iowa are IDIOTS.

#4  Meh. Birdshot overhead comes down as gentle as spring rain; now, if he'd have dropped a pheasant from 20' above their heads, THAT would have been funny...

#3  Oh come now at least Cheney hit someone. Another reason not to vote for him.

#2  "Blasts?"

For one pheasant........gotta work on that aim thing. Better never try to hunt teal or woodcock.

#1  NOT good enough for office. At least Dick Cheney hit his target (a lawyer at that).
