5. Actually, he is in "VERY STABLE" condition,

according to the hospital spokesbot. Nevermind that no one on earth has ever heard of the term "VERY stable" to describe someone's medical condition - stable, grave, improving, non-life threatening - those are SO old school.

VERY stable is for today!

...is after they're dead!

4. yes he "had a great night"

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.

8. Yeah

and CNN said he MAY be released on Tues. I've been "peppered" before, never took more than tweezers and alcohol (internal and external :)) to fix me up. Sounds fishy
