Over the decades, plenty of politicians, mafiosi, unwanted spouses and others have been killed in "hunting accidents." I had a high school teacher who recommended that if we wanted to kill someone, just take him hunting.
So, it's not tinfoil territory to ask, "Did Dick have some reason to off Whittington? Was, perhaps, Whittington planning to let a little daylight shine on the administration of Texas Gov. George W. Bush?"
Well, possibly not -- it's hard to kill a man with birdshot. But Cheney's competence record isn't all that great, so maybe. . .
Even if not, though, it's totally possible to imagine Cheney shooting the man so as to bury other, more damaging news. What'll he do tomorrow?
