Get PINKDOME Merchandise!

Catty. Chatty. And Occasionally Trashy.

Vote Hunting

Apparently Dick Cheney had so much fun while hunting for fowl that Chris Bell had to get in on the gig, too.

Bell went dove hunting this past weekend in West Texas, firing his gun exactly zero times. According to his hunting guide, the safety was on when Bell tried to shoot. An honest mistake that happens to a lot of hunters, but it still makes him look a little like a goof when the next sentence in the article is:

"He about broke his finger trying to pull the trigger," [hunting guide Tony] Timmons told a hunting pal afterward.

This wasn't the first time for Bell to go hunting, as another article mentions a 1998 trip in the Panhandle. Regardless, his statement beforehand still confuses the hell out of me: "I'm certainly trying not to be anything I'm not." And I'm certainly trying not to be not confused by your sentence.

Bell has a case of Kerry-itis when it comes to hunting. Its like "lets show the Republican that liberals like to shoot our guns too" and "we also didnt shoot anyone in the face while doing it"

Bell sucks so much ass. I can't stand it anymore. Can't it be over already?

Reminds me of when the shrub knocked off a Killdeer thinking it was a dove.

Man, this is the gang that can't shoot!

I think people have been worried all along that Bell couldn't pull the trigger.
