He had a hunting accident biut it won't compare to the demlibs shooting themselves in their collective foot, trying to politicize this. The lib press has already started.

We need more bi-partisan hunting trips.

The truth is he found Whittington was carrying a calculator, a protractor and a compass. You know, weapons of math instruction

Jon Stewart

On Monday night one of the show's correspondents, Rob Corddry, introduced as a "vice-presidential firearms mishap analyst," said that "according to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush," and "everyone believed there were quail in the brush," and "while the quail turned out to be a 78-year-old man, even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists he would still have shot Mr. Whittington in the face."

Just reported on Fox news that Mr Whittington, has had a heart attack. A pellet from the gun shot was carried by the blood stream to the heart. This is no longer a minor injury. JimL

According to "thesmokinggun.com" Cheney has two prior DWI arrests.

Also, did you ever check out the prices on the 28-guage Perazzi shotgun he was using? Hell, I pay less for my cars than the cost of one of those.

And all along, I thought Steve Tyler was singing "Janie's Got a Gun". It was really "Cheney's got a gun".

Nothing new...

Chenney is in historic company - Aaron was another VP who shot somebody.
And it was not released to the press any too quickly, either.

Libs take heart - if history repeats itself, Chenney, like Burr, just might be tired for treason eventually.

Hcap,

Fortunately, I was able to enjoy the humor in this thread before learning of Whittington’s heart attack. I suspect Mr. Ireland’s questions will prove to be musings that usually take place in a news vacuum, but at least now the answers will be pursued as they should be. My concern in this fiasco is not that a potential political or legal misstep occurred, but rather Dick Cheney’s physical and mental capacity to continue as the person to substitute for the President in the event an emergency.

Well-intended Republicans should share this concern.

you are joking right? The guy had a hunting accident. That is all it is. How in the hell does that suddenly disqualify him from being Vice President? Truthfully, I would rather he was President.

Just because there was a screw up in a hunting party (and btw, some are saying the guy who got shot screwed up by walking into the line of fire) doesn't change who the guy is. Nor does it change his past experience and knowledge. It was a stupid accident. That is all it is. You are being brainwashed by the media hysteria around this thing. Damn shame the guy had a heart attack. I feel sorry for the guy. But, what the hell does it have to do with how Cheney would govern? I have heard it all now................
