The campaign contributor accidentally shot and wounded by Vice President Dick Cheney during a weekend quail hunt is "doing well" and will be released early this week, a spokesman at Christus Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi, Texas, said Monday.
Peter Banko told CNN that Harry Wittington, 78, took "quite a bit of spray" in the face, neck and upper torso but is recovering nicely after he was wounded Saturday afternoon on a vice presidential friend's south Texas ranch.
"He rested well last evening and is in stable condition in our trauma ICU," Banko said. "We'll know a little bit better later this morning, but he should be released within the next day or two. He's doing well."
Whittington, an Austin attorney who gave $1,000 to President Bush's 2000 campaign and $2,000 to his 2004 re-election bid, was among a handful of people accompanying the vice president when the accident occurred Saturday afternoon.
Cheney visited him Sunday afternoon at the hospital, "and was pleased to see he is doing fine and in good spirits," spokeswoman Lee Anne McBride said.

And now Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy:
It would have been funny if Dan Quail had been quail hunting with them and he was the one that got shot.
