Cheney wouldn't talk to law enforcement until the following day - time enough to let his blood alcohol content diminish? |

I thought the muslims' behaviour over the cartoons was despicable, but seeing the liberals' glee over an unfortunate accident shows the true depth of their petty and vindictive character.

the Vice-President's victim's condition worsening
HARRY WHITTINGTON, the 78-year-old Texas lawyer shot by Dick Cheney over the weekend, suffered what doctors called a "minor heart attack" yesterday and was moved back into intensive care.
David Blanchard, head of the emergency room at the Corpus Christi hospital in Texas, said a birdshot pellet about 5mm in diameter had lodged in Mr Whittington's heart, causing "irregularities". He will remain under "close supervision" in hospital for at least another week. Dr Blanchard said that the lawyer, a prominent Texas Republican, was in good physical shape and had a "strong will" which should carry him through. "He will have a full life as the Lord intended him to have and this should not affect him in any way." He added, however, that more than five "and probably less than 150 or 200" pellets had lodged in Mr Whittington's body. The worsening condition of the Vice-President's victim threatened to wreck the White House's attempts to deflect the row over a shooting accident with humour. It also scotched Mr Cheney's hopes of escaping from the incident with a warning for violating Texas game law by failing to buy a $7 hunting stamp before going shooting on Saturday at the Armstrong ranch. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department attributed the accident to a "hunter's judgment factor" and said that the Vice-President would merely be reprimanded formally for shooting upland game birds without the proper permit. Gilbert San Miguel, the chief deputy sheriff for Kenedy County in Texas, said they had ruled out alcohol being a cause of the accident. An hour after Mr Cheney shot Mr Whittington, the Secret Service called the Kenedy County sheriff to report it. At least one deputy showed up at the Armstrong ranch and asked to speak to the Vice-President but was turned away by the Secret Service. This, a spokesman said, was the result of "some miscommunication" and an interview took place the next day. By yesterday morning the White House had decided that the best way to deal with the problem was with humour. President Bush's spokesman suggested that the bright orange school colours of a Texas football team visiting the White House might be confused for hunter's safety wear. "The orange that they're wearing is not because they're concerned that the Vice-President may be there," Scott McClellan, the White House press secretary, said. He was not alone in declaring the accident a laughing matter. Jenny Backus, a Democrat strategist, talked of a "Bush-Quail" presidential ticket - a reference to the first President Bush's running mate, Dan Quayle. Others circulated an interview with George Bush in 2000 in which he hailed Mr Cheney as "somebody who is going to shoot straight with the American people". Mr Cheney ducked reporters yesterday, and issued only a brief public statement, saying that his "thoughts and prayers are with Mr Whittington and his family". Mr Cheney has had previous brushes with the law. He was twice arrested for drunk driving in his 20s. He had also been caught fishing out of season. "The $25 fine was not the worst part," he commented later. "They took my f***ing fish." http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...040967,00.html |

science tells us
the straight dope - from alex jones (video). "This much is clear: [Dick Cheney] shot Mr. Whittington from 15 to 18 feet, instead of 90 feet away as he claimed." "Here I am at 30 yards, 90 feet, firing at the chicken, and then we will fire at the watermelon." - Alex Jones http://infowars.com/video/clips/ball...m_universe.htm |

apparently, one of several contradictions in this weird tale. the Associated Press outlines the rest:

One thing I have to admire about Vice President Dick Cheney is he does and says what he pleases and doesn't give a crap about what anyone else thinks. The guy has hubris...
He became vice president when he was tapped to find the right person to run on the ticket for then Governor George W. Bush. After an extensive search through the Republican Party's best and brightest people, he came to the conclusion that Dick Cheney was the best man for the job of vice president. Since he knew Dick Cheney intimately, he recommended himself for the job and Bush being the wise man we all now know said, "Okay." What chutzpah, his mission is to find the best candidate and he picks himself... On the Senate floor Cheney once told Sen. Patrick J. Leahy to "F uck yourself." That is a direct quote, if you have a problem with that type of language, take it up with your vice president, he said it I didn't, although I have said it on occasion, just not to a senator or on the senate floor. Cheney is an angry, crotchety, foul-mouthed, old coot, the type of person you wouldn't want your children around and he thought he was the best candidate for the job, shows how little he actually knows... Leading up to the war with Iraq, Cheney constantly linked Iraq to the 9/11 terrorists even though there was never any link. He did so because he wanted a war for the military industrial complex, the guys that make money from wars, Halliburton is one of those companies and coincidently Cheney was heading that company when he picked himself as the VP candidate. What better way to make your company money than start a war for them to service? That is exactly what Cheney did. Like I said, he will say and do anything once it's in his head, after all he even told Bush that he was the best choice for vice president, so making up reasons to go to war to make Halliburton money is just a little white lie to Cheney... Now we have Cheney shooting an acquaintance or as they say in Washington, a lobbyist. That is the difference between Texas and Washington, in Texas a lobbyist is known as an acquaintance. Dick Cheney went on a quail hunt and shot his acquaintance Harry Whittington. In fairness to Cheney he didn't mean to do it, it was friendly fire. The White House press corp got mad they weren't properly informed. Maybe next time Cheney goes hunting a reporter will be embedded in his hunting party... The media is so up in arms over not being properly informed about the Cheney shooting, they forgot to look for the story. The vice president didn't have a hunting license. As someone who has done some hunting in my day I can say without a doubt that a law was broken and Cheney was given preferential treatment. Now laws vary from state to state but usually if someone doesn't have a hunting license and has shot game and or another human being they would be ticketed, their weapon confiscated and they would have to appear in court. Apparently hunting licenses aren't required in Texas or vice presidents aren't required to have hunting licenses. You would think one of the White House press corp might try and find a story here but no they are too busy feeling sorry for themselves that they weren't hand fed the news that Cheney shot someone. No wonder Bush, Cheney and their Republican friends break laws, lie and cheat the American public. They don't have to worry about getting caught, the media is too lame to actually do any investigative reporting and the Republicans know it. Dick Cheney will continue to do and say anything, not only because he can but also because the media lets him.... |

I just had a thought(no jokes please)
It seems to have diverted attention away from other issues. That can't be right.Surely not. They wouldn't do things like that. Would they????????????? No that would be just another conspiracy theory. But they've done just that,haven't they? Who's behind it all? Are they bright enough? Does anyone care that much? So many questions. My brain hurts,or is that a hangover? Dammit more questions. Self help is at hand.
