   I had been wracking my brains trying to remember something similar that happened some years ago — didn’t another Republican accidentally or “accidentally” shoot a hunting buddy?

   Finally I got it, and I wasn’t quite right. It was Indiana’s own Bobby Knight the basketball coach who accidentally shot a hunting buddy; just a minor incident. In that case, everyone was probably pretty well liquored up. I wonder what the blood alcohol numbers would be for Cheney, Wittington, and the others?

   Well, there was Viscount Whitelaw in the UK.

   Viscount Whitelaw, a blameless and splendid man, never recovered from a simple error on the moor when his shotgun accidentally discharged, winging a beater and spraying an old friend in the bottom.

   Admittedly not a shooting, but Deputy PM John Prescott did intentionally punch a protester in the face during an election campaign. None of this namby-pamby “accidental shooting” nonsense..

   That was so funny! The protester had thrown an egg at him to be fair, but he waded into the crowd (knocking down one of his own (female) entourage on the way) and thumped the guy.

   The same day, someone hit Bill Clinton with an egg too. Clinton took off his splattered jacket and said “it’s good for young people to be angry about something.” And the British think they are ‘more’ civilized! Well, I don’t think Blair would have hit anyone either, to be fair.
