The Whittington Family Is WORRIED...........ABOUT CHENEY!!!!!!
:wow:

"CBS News correspondent Gloria Borger reports another source within the White House said "you can imagine how upset the vice president is," adding that the Whittington family is worried about Cheney."

--snip--

:rofl:

Also says Cheney is in MELTDOWN over this. Awww, poor Deadeye.

"Cheney is in a "state of meltdown" over shooting his friend and the political fallout it has caused, a source close to the Cheney has told CBS News. On Wednesday, he accepted full blame for the incident and defended the decision to not publicly disclose the accident until the following day."

1. A couple thousand of our troops dead...
Many thousands of innocent Iraqis and Afghans dead...

Kind of hits home when the blood is really on your own hands, doesn't it, Prince of Darkness?

14. He is not in charge of his own arrogance. His bosses, the barons, can
override his arrogance. They placed him in the position and Dick placed them in a run away public relations disaster on their hands. Dick had no intention of answering to anyone at any stage of this event. They forced him. My take.

19. Totally agree. Left to his own devices, he'd tell us to eff off...
none of our damn business who he caps.

As much as I don't wish any further harm on his victim, I'd sure like to see the mighty fall....

4. Good Point! Actually, They Probably ARE Worried About Him
Worried that he's going to have them all murdered in their sleep to keep them quiet.

10. It is reverse blame the victim.
Call it the 'Sympathy for the Devil Gambit'. Oh the poor perpetrator. How bad he must feel having blown his friends face off while drunk. Poor little Duck Cheney. Bad Media. Bad Blogosphere.

I dunno - we are a nation of morons and idiots. This could work.

16. Same Cheney who DOWNGRADED his relationship with Whittington
from "friend" to "acquaintance" when chatting with Hume? That devastated Cheney?

The ONLY things eating at Dick are the fact that he really can't blame this on a DEM and he has to face the lovely Mrs. Cheney.

5. They're worried about CHENEY?????
WHY? Because he's feeling guilty for his stupidity? Because his decision to remain silent has led to political fallout?

Don't ya think they ought to be more concerned about Harry????

6. ....According to an unnamed White House source.
Through hospital officials, Whittington has declined to comment.

"He still kind of wonders what all the hoopla is about," said Peter Banko, administrator of Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial.


Another snip from a PR droid.

The Whittingtons are in no hurry to make an official statement.

8. The only thing Cheney is "melting down" about is that he
finally got caught. Otherwise, he would have been happy to cover up and lie.

17. obey the eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not get caught."
It is also midnight within the moral order. At midnight colours lose their distinctiveness and become a sullen shade of grey. Moral principles have lost their distinctiveness. For modern man, absolute right and wrong are a matter of what the majority is doing. Right and wrong are relative to likes and dislikes and the customs of a particular community. We have unconsciously applied Einstein’s theory of relativity, which properly described the physical universe, to the moral and ethical realm.

Midnight is the hour when men desperately seek to obey the eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt not get caught." According to the ethic of midnight, the cardinal sin is to be caught and the cardinal virtue is to get by. It is all right to lie, but one must lie with real finesse. It is all right to steal, if one is so dignified that, if caught, the charge becomes embezzlement, not robbery. It is permissible even to hate, if one so dresses his hating in the garments of love that hating appears to be loving. The Darwinian concept of the survival of the fittest has been substituted by a philosophy of the survival of the slickest. This mentality has brought a tragic breakdown of moral standards, and the midnight of moral degeneration deepens.

9. No surprise
Cheney has had five heart attacks, has a stent in his aorta to keep him alive, and went hunting this weekend with the cast from ER in case he keeled over. The man is not well, one of the eight billion big secrets we never hear about.

I wouldn't be surprised if he blew a gasket over this.

12. Meltdown? Good. Maybe I can throw some water on him and
finish the job. :rofl:


Agent MIKE: That was not a threat. I REPEAT: That was not a threat. I really will not go throw water on Dick just to watch him melt. I'm a perfectly harmless person who loves her cat.

21. So if he's so worried about his friend
why wasn't he at the hospital with him? Why did he not let the sheriffs talk to him? Why did he wait several days to "tell his story"?

22. My God!
He could have "a" beer and shoot himself in the face, if he doesn't feel better. He needs to see someone immediately to prevent this tragedy.
