Dick Cheney ended up “accidentally” shooting his hunting partner over the weekend while out on a quail hunt in Texas.

Cheney’s companion, Harry Whittington, 78, was listed in stable condition after being brought in on Saturday night, said Yvonne Wheeler, a spokeswoman for the Christus Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Cheney’s office said Whittington, an Austin lawyer, had been sprayed by birdshot while hunting at the Armstrong Ranch in south Texas.

Cheney’s office has not provided any details on the accident, although I’m convinced Cheney got carried away re-enacting that scene from Wedding Crashers where Jeremy got shot by Sack…

Jeremy Grey: Wow. Mr. Environmental is also a hunter. That’s an interesting combination.
Sack Lodge: I hunt quail, Jeremy. They’re overpopulated in this region and they’re decimating the grubworm population. You got a f*cking problem with that?
Jeremy Grey: Not as much as I do with your attire, or just your general point of view toward everybody here. But hey, lets go kill some birds. I’m psyched.
