He should not get jailed for acciedently shooting someone, but he should get fined for not having the proper lisence for the type of bird he was hunting. Just because he is the Vice President of the United States, he is not above the law.

No, but he should be impeached and incarcerated.

If this were true, would they have offered him a pardon if he would stop his actions against the governement?  That would be like offering Charles Manson a deal if he would stop writing weird stuff on peoples bedroom walls in blood.  Does not make any sense.  You dont plea with murderers once they have been convicted.

Personally, I think that the jag off should be shot. But maybe spending the rest of his life rotting in prison and bent over a sink would do just as well.

Pray for his health...Cheney would finish out his term!!!As much as I'm not a Bush fan believe me Cheney is one of the few that could be worse.

That's a hard one... I suppose it would be Dick cuz he shot someone in the face though. The biggest crook of them all  would be Karl Rove.

I wouldn't go anywhere near Dick if he had a gun. I just read an article about how he doesn't really hunt he goes to a private game farm where they release farm-raised birds for you. During the 2004 election campaign, Dick and some other rich guys killed 417 of 500 birds let loose for them.\nDick killed 70 of the 417 there were nine other rich dudes in his group of "hunters".\nAlso I want to add it is not your fault if you get shot unless you shoot yourself. When you pick up a gun you need to look before you shoot. Not shoot then look. Duh.

Heck yes!\nIt's not funny that someone got shot, but OMG is it funny that our Vice President was shooting quails in a freakin' enclosed pen and was still so inept that he actually shot a person. Maybe the inside story was that the friend was actually trying to hold a quail still for Cheney to shoot at - and he still missed.\n\nIt's just such a perfect symbol of the arrogant, careless and dangerous way that this presidential office conducts itself.

this man has no shame, he's acted as though he was above the law for years now, and now he's getting his just dues.  He must have lied under oath and for that he committed an act of treason to out Valerie Plame.  If Bush does not cut him off, then he too should be jailed as a conspirator and an obstructor of justice.  Cheney's done too.

Off course Dick Cheney would. Bush has done nothing for this country other than making his buddys rich. Bush is empty brain monkey.

Bush also be booked under similar charges. He lied to the world about Weapons of Distruction and bombarded Iraq. Killed so many. Why Bush should not be hanged for misinterpretation and mis representation.

If it was an assassination attempt, then I would presume that Dick Cheney would assume the role of president, and more importantly, Commander-in-chief, under the 25th amendment.  \n\nImmediately afterwards, Dick and the joint chiefs and NSA/CIA/Homeland Security and others will try to figure out who is responsible for the hit.  Then I would assume that a bunch of missiles and bombs will start to drop on whoever was responsible.\n\nThat would be the scenario if it was a faction or a terrorist group.  If it was a sole gunman in, say, Germany, who just sniped the president, then that is a little more complicated, since I doubt they will bomb Germany for that.  (They might if he was in Pakistan, see the disparity).  If the secret service didn't kill the sniper/gunman then, there would be an allout search for him.  If they ever found him, he'd be extradited to the US, tried in the most publicized trial ever, and if convicted, he'd be executed.\n\nIn any case, if the president died, the VP is president, and they'd have to nominate someone to be the VP (probably a senator).

No, I think he should be put in prison for the rest of his life.  Maximum security would be the worst punishment for him - worst than the death penalty.

Cheney didn't shoot a senator.  He ACCIDENTALLY shot a lawyer friend of his.  I swear, some folks need to get their heads out of their rectal canal...\n\n\nYou edited your post, subcultural, but your head is STILL up your butt.

Of course they should be concerned about Cheney's hunting accident. \n\nThe fact that Harry Wittington stood up and apologized to the Vice President and his family - caked with makeup - was a real special moment for Cheney. Chaney said that the day of the accident was the Worst Day Of His Life.\n\nI guess the day he lied about the reasons for going to war in Iraq was the second worst day. \n\nThis Administration is a complete train wreck. No need to get into it all - as we all know what it's about anyway. \n\nO I L !!! \n\nCheney does need to find himself a new hunting guide - and quick!\n\nAs they say, "The Buck(shot) Stops Here!"

he can be impeached for high crimes and mistemeaners. So there would have to be a specific charge.  If he was given erroneous information and he thought it to be true, then it is not a lie.
