In a pre-emptive strike, Vice President Cheney managed to shoot an already frail 78 year old lawyer, while quail shooting in Texas.
Later intelligience showed that early reports had stated the lawyer was "frail", which Cheney handlers misinterpreted as "quail" - leading to the unfortunate event.
Cheney blames the event on bad intelligence. No charges will be filed, but many innocent quail lost their lives in the attack.
Hmmm. Good thing Dan Quayle wasn't there.
(Good for Dan, that is).
