A comment from Harry Whittington's coming any minute now, right? RIGHT????

[tuvor]

I mean, nothing could be preventing him from telling us his account of what happened.

After all, he's in stable condition, and "doing extremely well" according to the hospital administrator. (http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=1614375)

:shrug:

1. Yeah, and when is "Duck" Cheney gonna have a press conference?

I mean, he should at least explain what happened, tell his side of the story and give a public apology to Mr. Whittington. :shrug:

[havocmom]

2. His face might be a tad sore and all

Might have some trouble talking? Also, stable does not rule out lots of pain meds.

[Mike Nelson]

3. He could fly the coop...

...but I think he's pretty well caged. If he threatened them in any way, he could take a sudden turn for the worse.

4. maybe he didn't want to contribute this year,

and cheney showed him what would happen when they won't pay.

[bananas]

5. Have there been any photos of him

or are they going to wait until the face transplant heals?

6. It seems that our so-called liberal media has had few interviews

regarding this incident. Shouldn't they be staking out the sheriff's office and sticking a microphone in front of the deputy who went out to the ranch? How about the hospital that admitted the shooting victim? I know they can't reveal patient confidentiality, but they can at least explain whether or when they reported a gunshot wound and to whom, as that is a matter of public record.

7. "I would just like to say what a tremendous honor it was

to be shot by the Vice-President of these United States. God Bless America." *sniff*

[ColonelTom]

8. He can't discuss operational details.

And just the fact that we're discussing this here is aiding the terrorists.

Why do you hate freedom? :crazy:

[Coyote_Bandit]

9. If he has any brain cells left

he will - in true Republican fashion - march himself down to the courthouse upon his release from the hospital and file a civil suit against Cheney, the ranch owner, all the insurance companies involved, the secret servce members preset when the shooting occurred, and the US government that employed them. I'm guessing he's seeing some mighty big dollar signs about now.

10. I guess its hard to to make a statement when your face if full of birdshot

:shrug:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

11. Apparently, he's in better condition than before he was shot...

He's had an "excellent" night, he's sleeping great and the ICU was just like his living room.

Heck, Dickie did him a favor, things are just working out great for him....when he issues a statement, it will be an expression of gratitude for this fabulous experience. :crazy: MKJ

[hopeisaplace]

13. you made me laugh with that tag line, thanks hahahaha, love it

[carolinalady]

12. Except that nasty tube he had breathing for him for 36 hours or so

Hard to make a statement like that.

[Botany]

14. What is the problem? 78, shot, and in an ICU

Life is a party for him .... pretty nurses, pain killers in an I.V. drip,
and reconstructive plastic surgery ..... wow the man is on EZ street.


I hear Dick isn't going to press charges against him
for the way he sneaked up behind him.
