Here are my entries:
Shot a man in Travis County, just to watch him pick pellets outta his cheek.
You go to hunt with the buddies you’ve got, not the ones you want.
It’s allright! We shoot each other in the head all the time!
And a question for all the hunters in the house, uh, garmr…is the phrase “peppered” a term d’art for quail hunters, or is the political machine trying to find a word that sounds more like seasoning your steak than shooting an elderly man in the head?

Where I'm from, any accident that involves an ambulance is not an example of "peppering," but I must acknowledge regional disparity in hunting customs and the tendency of southerners to understatement.
That line is the fulcrim of the spin. As a hunter, you must remain aware of the location of your fellow hunters at all times, and if you are unsure, you must limit your firing arc to areas that you can verify are safe. Period. The vice president is the faulty party. Period.
That said, one should give Mr. Cheney his due: with one shot, he nearly killed a lawyer, a Republican, and a Texan.

I think this incident makes Cheney the perfect spokesmen for the NRA. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/Speeches.aspx?ID=32
