If YOU Shot a Man, and Sent Him to the ICU, Wouldn't You Stick Around?

[Stephanie]

Wouldn't you be at the hospital every day until he recovered? Would you really leave town the next day and go back to the office on Monday?

Or not even that, say you shot a man and sent him to the ICU, would you then drive back to the vacation ranch that night and have a big dinner with guests? And would you have a big quail lunch the next day before you flew home to your mansion?

Wouldn't you sit with the man in his hospital room while he recovered, offer your support to his family, and step before the cameras to own up to what you did, explain that you are devastated by the consequences and deeply sorry, and that you are praying for the speedy recovery of your friend.

I mean really, what would you do?

[Hand]

1. Hell, no!

I'd be across the border so quick... but that's just me. :rofl:

[JVS]

24. Hell yeah! Buenas dias, Mexico!

:-)

[Maat]

2. Yes, I would do those things (n/t).

[LiberalinNC]

3. I sure as hell wouldn't be hiding!

Cheney sure looks guilty by his actions, doesn't he? Tells me that there is more to the story!

[Stephanie]

25. He fled, and then he went into hiding.

He hasn't spoken in public this week at all.

[Rick Myers]

4. Dick Vader needed to get back to the Death Star

:grr:

[DearAbby]

5. Well if you were talking about a person with natural empathy....yes

But we all know that the bionic ticker, pumps pure crude oil. No empathy for the old and the weak. Heartless.

[peekaloo]

6. Mechanical heart/mechanical mind.

For such a bad ass why is he hiding from the media?

It's all measured in $$$$$$$$ with this bastard.

[sandnsea]

7. A friend in a similar circumstance

that I can't talk alot about, was beside himself and still is. You don't actually go to the hospital because the family is a little miffed, to put it mildly, but accidents like these are usually life altering events. Cheney's reaction truly is heartless and bizarre.

[Stephanie]

20. you see?

I had a DREAM the other night that I shot somebody, and I was miserable the whole next day!

[cornermouse]

8. Yes, but Cheney has a defective heart.

In more ways than one.

[fiveleafclover]

10. Heart?

Since when did he grow one of those?

[meisje]

9. Cheney has "other priorities"

[NV Whino]

11. Yeah, I would, but

we're talking about Duck! Cheney here.

[hexola]

12. unless he died in ICU...nothing to stick around for...(nt)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

13. The police would definitely ask an ordinary person to stick around.

[slor]

14. Not if I was a Space Lizard, disguised as a...

Vice President.

[Blackthorn]

26. Touche heheheh n/t

[SPKrazy]

15. He Had To Get Back In Case He Needed To Vote In The Senate

On the asbestos bill

had to protect his friends

Is Whittington a friend?

What happened to the quote in the MSNBC story:

"there may be a beer or two in there, but remember not everybody in the party was shooting"

[Stephanie]

18. Not everybody in the party was shooting?

There were only three people in the party - Cheney, Wittington, Willeford, and the ranch owner.

[SPKrazy]

21. No, It Was Larger Group

But that is all we hear about now.


at least in the early stories there were up to 10 people in the party

[Elidor]

16. First, he had a final night with his mistress

Then he tried to think up a good reason why he's in Texas when he told his wife he was in the bunker working on "secret stuff I can't tell you about." He's probably genuinely surprised that anyone even cares how the victim is doing. That old guy is the farthest thing from Cheney's mind right now.

[marions ghost]

17. I would have expected him to stay there for better damage control

and because it would 'look good' but not because he cared.

Very good question. Who shoots someone like this and returns to work the next day?

[Warren Stupidity]

19. If you crash your car and you are shitfaced

you get the heck away from the scene and hope to hell that the police don't track you down until you are sober.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

22. I have a feeling

that if *I* had shot someone and put him in ICU I would be certainly be sticking around, probably in jail.

[tanyev]

23. Well, after I posted my BAIL, I would certainly stick around.

[Twist_U_Up]

27. This was my take from day 1 n/t

[KingFlorez]

28. A person with integrity would

We are talking about Cheney who has no sense of that trait.
