Clowntime is over for Cheney
We've moved into the not funny zone with Mr. Whittington's life hanging in the balance. I blame the White House for the way the public has viewed this as they spent their time covering up the severity of his injuries.

Just when do they plan that Cheney will come out and face the public on this. The man was in 'good spirits'? My ass!

pellets could get into the blood stream and get lost.

10. I don't think they were lead pellets.
Most states have made lead shot illegal. It's probably steel shot.

12. The MSM have been reporting all day that it was lead shot used.
Remember it was Texas and a hunt club, the rich don't abide by the same laws nor do politicans as the rest of us have to follow.

2. Yes.
A doctor on Fox just said that she puts his chances as 50-50. I hope he survives. I had originally believed the reports that he was not seriously injured. This is terrible. Dick Cheney may have injured his friend so seriously the guy will die. It makes the delays in reporting, and the general cover-up far more serious, too.

If Cheney had a shred of human decency, he would resign.

4. He had to have known this morning!
There is no way he didn't know unless Duck* is trying to manage it all himself so as to contain the damage to blivet**.

I think he had to know. The PR people must be losing hair by the minute!

5. It is hard to
believe he was not aware. That might explain his harsh presentation. I think that some people in the president's office are unhappy having to cover for Dick.

6. Has Cheney even visited the poor old guy?
I mean, c'mon now, Dick. I know you're heartless, but it might be a nice gesture, since you're the one that landed him in the hospital.
