If Mr. Whittington had shot Cheney instead, How would all be different?

The delayed reporting, the drinking and all the rest.

1. Oh, they'd paint Harry as a drunk, and Dick as a responsible and hapless

sportsman-victim. And it would have been the shot heard round the world in a NY minute!!!!!

2. Well in the first place he'd be dead

Whittington would have about 5 lbs. of Secret Service lead in his chest.

6. That's what I was thinking.

And they don't use #8 bird shot.

3. Our Iraq policy would change overnight.

That is, if Cheney died.

4. Iranian agent.

:nuke:

5. Patriot Act II, III, & IV would pass

to protect us from terra and old guys... well, to make it easier for Cheney and PNAC to finish us off anyway.

7. The sectret service would have dropped Whittigton on the spot.

They wouldnt have stopped shooting until he was an unrecognizable mound of red jelly.

8. If he survived the pile on by the SS, you mean?

I doubt he would be walking around free as a bird, opps, without some sort of pending charges.

9. If Mr. Whittington had shot Cheney we'd have a new national hero.

Sorry, Agent Mike.

But it had to be said. ;)

10. true, but how would they crucify Whittington

as opposed to letting Cheney slide.
