Duck! Bush Jokes About Cheney's Bad Aim

ABC News' Jennifer Duck Reports: The perfect opportunity arose again for President George Bush to pull the trigger on Vice President Dick Cheney's bad aim.

While hosting the 2007 Stanley Cup winners at the White House, the President asked the Anaheim Duck hockey champs, "Like, have you noticed a lot of security around here? It's because the Vice President heard there were some Ducks around."

Cheney accidentally shot his good friend and hunting companion Harry Whittington in the torso, neck, and face while quail hunting in Texas two years ago.

Bush openly jokes about the February 2006 shooting accident which landed Whittington in the hospital for six days.

One hockey player told reporters after the event he appreciated the President's fowl joke saying, "He looked like he was in a very good mood. It was nice to see him joking…and having a good time."

Bush was a real uniter. Having a majority of Democrats in congress and Bush continued to pass his legislation by bringing the parties together. Oh we were sneak attacked on 9-11. What would you Democrats do cry to the United Nations and blame the airlines.

Yeah, that Bush, a regular comedian, jokey Smurf. All he needs is a round, rubber nose and a little toot, toot horn. Maybe one of those funny cars he could drive around in circles. Too bad the mess he has made in running the country into the ground isn't funny. Personally, I'd say no thank you to any invitation for an audience with His Highness. January 2009 can't come soon enough.
