Forget the Mojave Desert, the Himalayas, the River of Doubt in the Amazon. I've got Bear Grylls' next wilderness survival challenge on "Man vs. Wild."
It's a little something I call "Hunting With Dick and Bob," aka "Dick" Cheney and "Bob" Knight.
Both men have accidentally winged hunting buddies with shotguns, and now Bob the mighty outdoorsman has struck again. In separate incidents last month, he bagged not one but two innocent bystanders with birdshot while hunting doves.
He plinked the first, Mary Ann Chumley, while she was sitting on the tailgate of her pickup and Knight was chasing a bird, apparently mindlessly. He sprayed the second, James Simpson, in the neck and back while Simpson was cleaning out his swimming pool the next day.
This is eight years after Knight accidentally put 16 pellets into a hunting buddy up in Wisconsin. I don't know about you, but I'd say the next time he decides to go hunting, he should do it with a water pistol. Clearly giving this guy a working firearm is like checking your gas tank with a Bic lighter.
Cheney, Knight and guns. Ah, yes. Dress Bear in an Indiana sweatshirt and a Brits For Hillary button, and it's his most perilous undertaking yet.
