LAS VEGAS -- A minor league hockey team is spoofing
Vice President Dick Cheney's recent hunting mishap
with a plan to distribute bright orange hunting vests
printed with the words, "Don't Shoot, I'm Human."
The Las Vegas Wranglers plan to distribute 1,000 vests
to fans arriving for Friday's game as part of a
promotion dubbed "Dick Cheney Hunting Vest Night" at
the Orleans Arena.
"It was sort of too juicy not to do," said Billy
Johnson, Wranglers president and chief operating
officer. "It's one of those events in pop culture."
He referred to Cheney accidentally wounding a hunting
partner while quail hunting Feb. 11 on a Texas ranch.
Cheney's office in Washington, D.C., did not
immediately respond Monday to requests for comment.
The Wranglers, of the East Coast Hockey League, are
scheduled to play the Alaska Aces on Friday. The
7,000-seat arena is at the Orleans hotel-casino.
