Hunter Shot by Cheney in Stable Condition

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A 78-year-old hunting companion of Vice President Dick Cheney was recovering in stable condition Monday after Cheney accidentally shot him during a weekend quail hunting trip, a hospital official said.


Harry Whittington spent "a great night. He slept throughout the night," said Yvonne Wheeler, spokeswoman at Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial. She listed his condition as "very stable," but said she did not know if Whittington would be discharged Monday.

Whittington, an Austin attorney, was flown to the hospital after Cheney accidentally shot him late Saturday afternoon at the Armstrong Ranch.

The vice president visited Whittington and his wife before returning to Washington on Sunday. Cheney "was pleased to see that he's doing fine and in good spirits," said Cheney spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.

Whittington sent word through a hospital official that he would have no comment on the incident out of respect for Cheney.

1. I can't believe anyone gave that man a gun!

Isn't he hooked up to life support half the time anyway!

Shot at a Duck, my ass.. I bet he had oxygen loss and he saw a hallucination of Libby in that pile of ducks.

Btw did you see the picture ap used? One of the Cheney Snarls

2. Yeah really

Here is a man that has doctors travel with him and his own ambulance on call 24 hrs a day and they let him carry around a loaded weapon.

3. The excess in language is what is cracking me up

"Very stable"... I've never heard of that term, usually it's just "stable" or "good" or "critical." These folks are going out of their way with this happy, peppy talk, aren't they? I'm waiting to hear that the old man is in "exceedingly boffo condition." So the fellow had "a great night" -- yesterday they were all but saying that the fellow had never felt better in his entire damned life, that what Cheney had done had in fact improved Whittington's life, etc.

4. I know what you mean. I don't know whether to laugh or hurl.

:eyes:

"a great night"

7. I'm waiting to hear this:

They'll say that when Whittington was admitted to the hospital and checked out all over, they discovered a blood pressure problem/heart problem/other problem that the docs were able to fix, therefore Cheney actually has SAVED Whittington's life.

8. And that this "peppering" actually dislodged some

clog or other that was endangering his life. Wotta guy! Give that Elmer Fudd a medal!

[booksenkatz]

9. LMAO

:spray:

That's it! The peppering itself actually saved his life!

[Sugar Smack]

10. And that's why he's not just stable, but "VERY stable"

}(

[booksenkatz]

12. Corpses are "very stable" too

In my mind's eye, I keep seeing "Weekend at Bernie's."

[marions ghost]

13. yeah LOL ...

what's a little birdshot in the face between Rethug brethren. 'Thank you so much Dick, for not killing me and for the nice facial peel BTW. Having a great time. Wish u were here. Keep the flowers, send cash. Whitty'

5. a great night

He slept throughout the night

(it's called morphine)

[WinkyDink]

6. Frankly, the old buzzard would have been no loss.

I hope he does suffer.

[wicket]

11. Cheney shot him Saturday?

Why did it take a full day for them to inform the public?

[booksenkatz]

14. He was merely peppered! dusted! kissed! by weensy pellets!

Hope we're able to see the photos before the plastic surgeons get their hands on the old boy.
