MORGAN CITY (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney and Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent part of this week on a private duck hunting trip with friends in the marshes of south Louisiana.
Both shot their bag limits on Tuesday — three mallards and three teal, Sheriff David Naquin said.
The pair and their entourage arrived in Morgan City on Monday on a pair of Gulfstream V jets.
Ken Perry, an official at Harry P. Williams Memorial Airport, said, “It just sent chills up my spine” when he heard on the radio that Air Force 2 was on approach. Any airplane carrying the vice president is generally dubbed Air Force 2.
Cheney and Scalia were guests of Wallace Carline, owner of Diamond Services in Amelia, St. Mary Parish Sheriff David Naquin said. They left Wednesday.
Naquin said Scalia has made several hunting trips to the parish.

(Scientists working for the DoD are forbidden from accepting gratuities from contractors, not coffe cups, not even sandwich box lunches served at working meetings to speed things up, they actually have to pay for it. But, if your the Vice President of the United States of America you can give free rides and free vacations to influence Supreme Court justices. That's hypocrisy and it's unethical. Both Cheney and Scalia should resign.) |
