Victim's RNC friend: "Whittington will crack a lot of jokes about this!"

[Bluebear]

Bill Crocker, a member of the Republican National Committee, said he has been hunting with Whittington before. He described Whittington as a safety-conscious hunter and a good shot.

Whittington's friends also said he has great sense of humor and will probably crack a lot of jokes about the accident.

"I cannot wait to hear his take on this," Crocker said.

1. NYUKYUKYUK!

[NYCGirl]

2. Only if he lives.

;)

[warrens]

3. Assuming he ever talks again

[VOX]

4. He's gonna have to stay alive to accomplish this.

A bit challenging when there's lead shot coursing through the veins, catching in the heart, lungs, etc.

Too much. :crazy:

[CrazyOrangeCat]

13. Too much, indeed . . .

. . . isn't this one of the most surreal things?

(plus, it is 70 degrees in KC, with a stiff thirty mph wind swirling the leaves around. everything velly velly strange these days.)

:wtf:

[DS1]

5. Every Republican is a "good shot"

Cheney's a "good shot" - except when he's shooting other "good shots", according to fellow "good shot" Donald Rumsfeld :eyes:

[Bluebear]

6. Thank you DS1!

It's all so clear now! :)

[underpants]

9. That's because they never miss

If they hunt like everything else they do (this crowd anyway) they never miss...no need to see the target we all know that none of us ever misses...we are good shots you know.

[Canuckistanian]

17. Is this some kind of code?

I wonder if Dubya is a "good shot"?

[DS1]

20. It's a little meat for their gun-nuts fanbase

A manly thing, and all that

[Canuckistanian]

22. Ah, so then Anne Coulter would be a "good shot", too

Thanks!

[Solly Mack]

7. Gonna miss his money if he dies is all

[NNN0LHI]

8. About as funny as a belly full of pin worms

These Republicans have a macabre sense of humor if you ask me.

Don

[txindy]

10. Yeah, I wonder why the cameras haven't recorded some of those jokes?

Oh, because his face has been shot? Ah, that could be it. Or the birdshot in his heart stopping it and all. Quite possible.

Repubs are morans and ever-so-proud to keep talking and make their ignorance extremely evident, too.

14. He won't be talking once the WH doctors get through with him.

Just ask William Casey

[booksenkatz]

15. Too bad his fucking face was mangled by

the Vice President of the United States of America, so we'll hafta, um, wait awhile before we "hear his take on this!"

Asshat.

[endarkenment]

16. After they finish repairing the chest they cracked open.

yeah he will for sure be yucking it up. Is he married? His wife probably would like to know some of the details of his 'hunting party'.

[Rex]

18. Yeah crack a lot of jokes...did ya hear the one about the guy

who nearly had his face blown off by a deranged VP? Turns out they were on a double date!

[orleans]

19. His Take Before or After He Had His Heart Attack?

Hunter Shot by Cheney Has Heart Attack

http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-5619114,00.html

"Whittington suffered a ``silent heart attack'' - an irregular heartbeat, but without the classic heart-attack symptoms of pain and pressure, according to doctors at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial."

"Asked whether the pellet could move farther into his heart and become fatal, hospital officials said that was a hypothetical question they could not answer."

before heart attack: yeah, the story whittington will tell will be "hysterical"

after the heart attack: um, maybe not so fuckin funny anymore, huh?

[Lefty48197]

21. Yeah. As soon as he gets out of intensive care and gets the pellets out of

his heart.

[zbdent]

23. And, boy, wouldn't he have a LOT of material if he dies!

How much would the RNC buddy like those jokes? . . .

[lonestarnot]

24. Bitch may have a long wait.......
