(14,004 posts)There's the Dick Cheney "hunting" where someone goes out and finds all the birds for you. Then you down a couple of cocktails and drive around shooting the birds. There's no telling how many of those "hunts" the virile Cheney went on before he finally shot one of his fellow "hunters."
And Palin shooting the caribou was truly kind of sickening. Real hunters were probably repulsed.
And Ted Nugent using "C'mere Deer..." It's just not hunting. It's an abomination really.
Of course camera hounds Paul Ryan and Chuck Schumer had to get in the act. We can't just hear that they enjoy hunting and that they bagged a deer or pheasant. We need to see them smiling pretty for the voters. It's pathetic, but at least Ryan and Schumer may have actually hunted, unlike Cheney, Palin, and Nugent.
