Whittington's been dead since Saturday

[Pryderi]

I said this earlier, but I was thinking if he was shot in the face, Whittington's head would be bandaged and no one would be able to see him. Which would give the WH time to come up with a plan.

Or, maybe I'm just making my tinfoil hat

[meisje]

1. He may not be dead, but he's very close or maybe a little too "Stable"

[tatertop]

6. interesting play on words

[babylonsister]

2. Ya know, nothing would surprise me! nt

[hopeisaplace]

3. You know, that thought had crossed my mind, but it would be

tough to pull that off, involving hospital staff etc...so probably not.

[RaleighNCDUer]

25. If you were hospital staff, and the Secret Service told you you

can't talk about it,

would you?

[hopeisaplace]

26. that's a good point - but maybe someone would leak, then maybe not

[Horse with no Name]

47. No.

It is strictly forbidden for any unauthorized staff member of the hospital--Secret Service or not--to disclose the condition of any patient.

[tkmorris]

41. If I knew he was dead, and they were claiming he was alive?

I would talk. Now I know I'm not typical, I doubt any of us here at DU is, but I WOULD talk.

[NanceGreggs]

4. Just posted this on another thread ...

... we've seen none of the usually trotted-out photos of a smiling Whittington, enthusiastic statements from family members about how well he's doing, etc.

Unfortunately, I think the poor guy is already on every life-support system available to keep him alive, while the WH spinmeisters cobble together a story ...

My guess on the press release we can expect: "Mr. Whittington passed away due to a pre-existing heart condition which had gone undiagnosed and untreated. His passing was inevitable, and is totally unrelated to the shooting incident."

[Lars39]

13. Just add his age to the press release and you've nailed it.

[Sydnie]

20. Did you hear that Dr on CNN this morning?

He was asked a question, something about shortening this man's life and he freaked and responded "He will have the full life that god intended." I found that response quite odd both in tone, body language, and content.

Perhaps it is that area of the country but I can't ever remember a doctor invoking god in quite that way at a press conference before.

[displacedtexan]

23. 3 score and 10?

Whittington is already 8 years up on God's "intention."

[Mme. Defarge]

27. Yes,

otherwise he would have been interviewed. The delay in reporting was to allow time for some kind of an explanation. 200 pieces of buckshot in the face, neck and upper chest at 30 yards has got to cause very serious injuries. As someone pointed out on the DU earlier, this was not simply fallout from shooting at something high above -- this was a direct hit at a close distance.

My husband, who is not a political junkie like I am, says that this is the big one that will bring down this administration. He is rarely wrong.

[liberalla]

37. I hope your husband is right about this.

I don't care what brings them down or boots them out, as long as it happens! and sooner rather than later! PLEEEEEZE!!!!

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

28. This is what I'm expecting also... .

...it's the Karl thing to do.

[Laurab]

43. "totally unrelated to the shooting incident" which was

HIS fault of course, and probably caused by the pre-existing heart condition, which, unfortunately, led him to walk in front of Dickie's gun and even probably caused the trigger to pull ITSELF...

[henslee]

5. Perhaps it is time for local offficials to perform a serious investigation

Your notion is not that far fetched.

[cyberpj]

7. Can't say it didn't cross my mind. The Texas lady has lots of "friends"

to help with such scenarios.

[raccoon]

8. You beat me to the punch. I'm wondering the same thing.

And we're not the only ones. :tinfoilhat:


He's already dead. You Know it.

This is the way they had to spin it, instead of the headline...

"CHENEY KILLS FELLOW HUNTER"

cheney shot and killed the guy and now they are going to try to say that he didnt die by cheney's shot...just a possibility

[npincus]

9. like when the Japanese Emperor died and they didn't announce it

until after the New Year, months later...

[cali]

10. Nah,

Too hard to cover up something like that. If Cheney had killed Whtitington, someone else would have shouldered the blame.

[Algorem]

11. the first thing Cheney did was have the Secret Service throw Whittington's

body in the trunk of Cheney's limo because the trunk is also a refrigerator for Cheney's booze,spare hearts and dead babies(which Cheney calls "chow").

[Swamp Rat]

48. LOL!

:D

[0rganism]

12. Perhaps, but you can bet that if he's still alive...

...he's getting the best medical care anyone in Texas has EVER received in the history of medicine.

The last thing the GOP needs right now is any potential of a negligent homicide charge against the Vicious Puppetmaster.

[sasha031]

14. I think you are seriously on to something

there have been so many conflicting stories, I even heard last night he was joking with the nurses.

confuse the masses, then suddenly heart failure...no charges are being pressed, so that is all cleared up.
:tinfoilhat: is appropriate about this time...

[Pryderi]

19. The Body Double is on the way?

[aquart]

31. How do you joke with pellets in your face????

Seriously. Is there a painkiller good enough? And is it legal?

[Poiuyt]

15. Remember the movie, "Dave?"

The president has a stroke, so his operatives find a look-a-like (Kevin Klein) to take his place

[Mme. Defarge]

32. I love that movie

[Solly Mack]

16. "He's on the roof"

Phone call

Brother # 1:"Hey, Rusty! How ya doing. Everything OK?"

Brother # 2: Well hey there, Tom! Your best friend is dead!"

Brother # 1: "WHAT?!?! OMG!!!! That's horrible!"

Brother # 2:"Yep"

Brother # 1: (between sobs)"You don't tell people bad news like that! You have to build up to it!"

Brother # 2:"How do you build up to a thing like that?"

Brother # 1: "You say something like, he was on the roof - playing. Then he fell. Then we took him to the doctor. Then he died."

Brother #2: "Oh. OK. Sorry man."

Brother # 1:"That's OK, Rusty. How's Mom?"

Brother # 2: "She's on the roof"

[jbnow]

42. Our family liked that joke

since the kids were small. (Only it started with a cat and suggesting they should have said "the cat's on the roof and we can't get her down")

Several years ago my son called and told me he'd broken up with his college girl friend and she had moved out. I told him I was shocked. He knew I liked her a lot and he hadn't even told me there were any problems.

He apologized and said "Let me start over. Our relationship is on the roof and we can't get it down"

Thanks for the reminder.

But I hope the old man isn't on the roof, but I hope the bush administration is.

[johnnie]

17. I hate to say this

I was gonna post that on Sunday, but I thought I would just wait it out. It is obvious that it isn't even close to what they have been feeding us.

[babylonsister]

18. And Cheney's compassion is simply amazing; he shoots the guy,

then leaves? :wtf:

[Patsy Stone]

21. Grandma's on the roof... n/t

[cliss]

22. I have no doubt

the man is dead. After all, he's 78 years old. On some other threads, people are speculating that Crack-shot Cheney shot him at about 20 yards distance. Top it off with a "mild" heart attack, and you have the violins playing.:smoke:

[Generator]

24. I don't think so but

this whole thing and I do mean whole thing (I'd start on my birthday back in December 2000 when I was eight months pregnant-I mean selection day by the Supreme Court of Emperor Bush) is such a nightmare, so weird, so psycho and so well... ain't anything possible now?? Sure..it's a joke when you say these things-but man-animal hybrid connection anyone? Maybe they are working on bringing the poor old guy back to life in some way that's just not human. I'm putting nothing past these people. It's a twilight zone marathon in this country. Last year we were tripping on Jeff Gannon/Guckert. Prostitute/faux journalist/possible child sex slave. What next?

29. Whittington

Kind of reminds me of a movie I once saw; 'Weekend at Whitty's.'

[file83]

30. Keep that tinfoil hat strapped on FIRMLY....

...because it might fall off when you watch this:

33. no need to make your hat get them here..........

34. When I heard "very stable"

the first thing that came into my mind was "dead".

Dead is very stable.

[AndyTiedye]

35. Shot in the Heart

Looks like the blacked-in area on this diagram would include the heart,
especially since the weapon was a shotgun.

[neweurope]

40. They got left and right mixed up.

:crazy:

-----------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[AndyTiedye]

45. Yes, But Which Way?

If the diagram is correct, then a large number of pellets are lodged in or near his heart.
Recent news reports have confirmed the presence of pellets in his heart.

They are calling it a "heart attack" so they will be able to say he died of a "heart attack".
I'd call it being shot in the heart.

Which also makes it look somewhat less accidental.

[neweurope]

46. I agree n/t

----------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

[buddysmellgood]

36. I love this line of reasoning and want to promote it.

[Canuckistanian]

38. Should we expect to see some "Weekend at Bernie's" pics?

"And here's Dick and Harry at the pool. What a bright, sunny day! Harry seems to be worn out from the tennis game he played with the vice president earlier in the day"

[Oak2004]

39. No, but...

I do not think he is dead, yet. A coverup of that would be too hard to pull off, and too dangerous if one got caught at it. I do think he is far more seriously injured that they are letting on, though.

Admitted straight to the ICU? It's very hard to get admitted to the ICU. You don't get there unless they need to watch your every heartbeat, and they don't watch your every heartbeat unless they think that heartbeat is in imminent danger of disappearing altogether. I've had two separate severe life-threatening emergencies in the last five years. My laundry list of trouble included things like severe blood loss, multiple pulmonary emboli, an intestinal obstruction, and an out of control systemic staph infection verging on septic shock. I spent, all total, about two months in the hospital. And I never saw a moment in ICU.

[in_cog_ni_to]

44. I heard THIS somewhere...can't remember where though....

The guy is probably dead and they're just waiting for a staph infection or some other bacteria to attack his body so they can then say he died from THAT and not the gun shot wound.

Where did I hear that? Randi? Mike Malloy? Majority Report? Sorry. I can't remember, but it makes sense to me!:hi:
