About That Dentist Who Sucker Punched Cecil...Redux

When I wrote About That Dentist Who Sucker Punched Cecil..., I thought, Okay. Now that's over with, nothing more to be said! Now we can get back to Donald Trump's hair and how well Hillary scrubbed all the incriminating evidence from her server. Or something like that! Turns out I was wrong. Cecil the lion wasn't the first time flaming abscess Walter Palmer DDS had broken the law in pursuit of big game trophies.

"...in September 2006, Palmer was hunting black bear in northern Wisconsin when he shot a bear in an area where he wasn’t allowed to hunt, shown in these photos below. According to court documents, Palmer had a permit to kill a bear in one county, but he shot the bear 40 miles from away in an area where he did not have a permit to hunt. As soon as the bear was killed, Palmer and the three guys he was with -- guides -- they agreed they would lie about it,” U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil told “20/20.”

Vaudreuil got involved when Palmer took the bear across state lines back to Minnesota. “He was lying to us. He was offering to pay, it turns out, about $20,000 to keep the others who were in the hunt, to have them lie, so that’s a fairly aggressive cover-up,” Vaudreuil said."

Maybe this guy is just trying to compensate for being first runner up in the Wally Cox lookalike contest. Or maybe he's trying to compensate for something else. Hopefully, his fifteen minutes of fame are up.
