CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney returned to his home state Friday, getting a standing ovation from lawmakers shortly after the lawyer he accidentally shot made his first public comments about Saturday's hunting trip.

"I want to thank you for that welcome home," Cheney told the Wyoming lawmakers.

"It's a wonderful experience to be greeted by such warmth by the leaders of our great state. It's especially true when you've had a very long week. Thankfully, Harry Whittington is on the mend and doing very well."

In Texas, the 78-year-old Whittington stood outside the Corpus Christi hospital where he has been treated, telling reporters he was sorry for all the trouble Cheney had faced since the shooting during a quail hunting trip in South Texas.


"We all assume certain risks in what we do, in what activities we pursue," Whittington said. "Accidents do and will happen."

5. There are

1,500,000 cows in Wyoming and 500,000 people. Lots of poverty, lots of misery, lots of methamphetamine, and very few land owners who are very happy with their income and who would give a standing ovation to Dr. No if that was useful. As to the dick, he doesn't shoot straight, which we knew beforehand, has almost killed another idiot, vapid enough to hunt with him and is barely worth the few lines above.
