To say the blogworld is buzzing over Dick Cheney's hunting accident this weekend would be an understatement. Women bloggers from around the globe are weighing in on the VP's shooting mishap in Texas.

Firedoglake says "It may be amusing to snicker at the VP's poor choices in this, but gun safety is no joke. Neither is having the Veep be treated differently than any other guy who might be involved in a hunting accident."

SisterTalk writes "This whole situation gives us new ideas about how to deal with Bin Laden. Just send him on a hunting trip with Dick Cheney." Roxi Populi is holidng a "write your own caption" contest with a photo of Elmer Fudd. And Culture Kitchen proclaims "Dick Cheney Shoots some other dick in the woods." Past is Prologue starts her post with "And speaking of dumb hunters,"

while the Reid Report says "Perhaps if he'd had some practice during Vietnam"
