Fox News: Whittington ‘Doing Just Fine,’ But ‘How Is VP Cheney Feeling?’
Fox News: Whittington ‘Doing Just Fine,’ But ‘How Is VP Cheney Feeling?’
Vice President Cheney will make his first public statements on the hunting accident during an interview with Brit Hume later today. Last night, we received a preview of the hard-hitting questions Cheney is likely to face. FOX News anchor Neil Cavuto and his guest, former Cheney staffer Ron Christie, criticized the media for focusing too much on Whittington’s condition and not enough on how Cheney is feeling.
CAVUTO: This is a Fox News alert. The lawyer accidentally hit by Vice President Dick Cheney suffering a mild heart attack this morning. Doctors say he’s doing just fine and could be released in a week. Meanwhile, the White House press corps again beating a dead horse as it tries to find out why they were not told right away about the Vice President’s hunting accident. Not one person bothering to ask, in the meantime, how Dick Cheney’s feeling about all this. After all, he’s a human being and injuring someone else in an accident can take a huge toll. With us now someone who knows the Vice President pretty well. Ron Christie is a former Cheney advisor and author of Black in the White House. Good to have you back my friend.
Vice President Cheney remains in our thoughts and prayers.
Transcript continues below:
CHRISTIE: Hey Neil. Good to see you again buddy.
CAVUTO: You know Dick Cheney pretty well. What’s going through his mind?
CHRISTIE: Dick Cheney is a very nice man, a very warm individual. From the opportunity, and as I talk about it in my book Neil, the opportunity to work on his staff you get to work with him very closely and get to see what sort of person he is. He’s a very caring person. Obviously one of his friends was involved in a rather unfortunate accident this past weekend. I’m quite certain that the vice president is very concerned and you have seen the statement that was released earlier today that the vice president continues to call his friend and to check up on his condition and right after the accident the vice president went to the hospital. It’s a very warm, very caring guy. He’s doing exactly what I would expect he would be doing.
CAVUTO: Do you think he should be talking more about this? Should he have come out himself and said something?
CHRISTIE: No, I don’t. Why? I mean, his office has already released a statement. The vice president had the opportunity to speak with the owner of the ranch. The sheriff was on site who was also there to make sure that nothing improper had happened, which, of course, it didn’t. The vice president is a very forth coming guy but this was a private accident. This was a private event. I think there is a tempest and a teapot going on in Washington right now.
CAVUTO: I know you have written about his own experience having dealt with physical illness, having had heart attacks, that sort of thing. That kind of thing certainly humbles you. Did those experiences humble him?
CHRISTIE: I think so. You are looking at a man who experienced a number of heart ailments over the years. I think it makes you recognize your own mortality but, again, Dick Cheney is a very nice guy, Neil. You have had the opportunity to visit with him and my having worked with him and I discussed it in Black in the White House. Very down to earth man, very personable person, and not the person who’s often demonized in the media.

LOL so now we are all supposed to feel sorry for the meanest and most arrogant VP this nation has ever been force to endure. He will show no remorse about what he did except for himself!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:00 pmThey’ve have to be f’in kidding!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:01 pmWho gives a **** what Cheney feels. I think it is obvious from past lies hes given to the media…bold, straight faced, easily disproven lies…that Cheney doesn’t give a damn about anybody but himself and Haliburton. If Cheney cared or had any feelings at all about what he did, he wouldn’t be so concerned about covering up up, controling the message, etc.
He would have came out with the truth right away. The only possible reason to cover up the accident is because he has a “protect myself first” attitude.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:01 pmI guess these guys still think Cheney is human:
Not a huge a tool as destroying the Constitution or having heart surgery, but a huge toll none the less.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:04 pmAfter all, he’s a human being
Sorry, but, I’m still waiting on confirmation of that.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:06 pmExactly how far does one have to twist oneself to be able to claim victim status for Cheney after he shoots someone else? What a bunch of shills.
Poor Dick… The liberal media is so mean to him and he is such a nice guy… Of course we wouldn’t know it because we never see him and when we do its always “garrrr garrrr”.
Ya know – I am not surprised that he is ONLY talking to Fox…
What an arrogant SOB…
We will now be told to ‘move on’ and this will be swept under the rug like everything else.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:07 pmA group of friends went quail hunting and decided to pair off in two’s for the day.
That evening one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of a sack of quail.
“Where’s Harry Whittington?†the other hunters asked.
Harry’s hunting partner, Dick Cheney, replied, “Harry must have had a heart attack. He just keeled over and died a couple of miles back up the trail.â€
The other hunters gasped and one guy asked, “You left Harry laying out there and carried the quail back?â€
“It was a tough call,†nodded Dick. “But I figured that nobody would steal Harry.â€
Cat got your Dungtongue?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:07 pmthe meanest and most arrogant VP this nation has ever been force to endure.
Agnew and Poppy could challenge for that title. Nixon, too.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:08 pmIs Christie (the guy in the photo) cross eyed or is it just me?????
Maybe thats whey he can’t see Cheney straight!!!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:10 pmI hate to say it, but I have never found Barney Google, oops, I meant, Ron Christie, to be all that believable when he’s been on other shows before. He’s just there to put the administration’s version of the facts out.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:12 pmWhy doesn’t the great white hunter let Jon Stewart interview him? A little gun shy?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:12 pm#9 It’s not you.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:12 pmInteresting! If anyone doubts that there is a rightwing media in this country their doubts should be over. Coward Cheney is going to go to Faux News today because he knows that he will not have to answer any tough questions, and in fact that he can lie through his teeth about what happened and neocon Hume will support him in the lies. What a joke.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:13 pmI am sure Faux News will continue to put the blame on Wittington as the rightwingers have been doing since this story broke. I refuse to have anything to do with Faux so I will look here later to hear what they lies were.
The whores on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood are more reputable than those at Fox.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:13 pmI hope the national conversation gets turned back to Cheney’s other previous accidents in shooting his own mouth off.
From TWN, “This shooting accident has gotten our minds off of Cheney’s role in instructing Scooter Libby to leak classify information; off the role the Vice President has played in manipulating the national security bureacracy to support his war.” via
February 15th, 2006 at 12:13 pmhttp://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/001247.php
Yes, I’ve been wondering how cheney is doing. Does he still have a hang over? Will the blood not wash off his hands?
I’m sure that brit hume will ask all the pertinent questions this afternoon and be able to illustrate to us americans how our poor mr. cheney is doing and how, after all of this, he is the real victim in this fiasco.
My heart bleeds for him. Just like mr. whittington’s.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:16 pmYes post 8 David > all those guys you mention were nasty, but Cheney is the meanest of them all! If Agnew was alive, Dick would call him names like he did to Sen. Leahy, or he would take him hunting and shoot him in the face probably!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:16 pmYou’re right Don.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:17 pmThe distractions seem to be getting more severe as time goes on.
I believe ‘ol dick would have generated another ‘terrist attack’ if he was able.
Not quite ready yet.
Bush/Bush.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:18 pmVP Quayle/VP & quail.
Discuss.
Neil Cavuto = Giant GOP Rump Swab
Yeah Neil, it’s startling isn’t it? That the people are more concerned about how the guy who got shot is doing, rather than the “experienced” hunter who now seems rather unquailfied to be holding a squirt gun, let alone a real gun. How dare they!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:18 pmJudd,
Come on, how come you have no posting on the House Armed Services Sub Committee’s National Security Whistleblower’s Hearings?
The first panel had 5 guys on it. One guy was a Sgt. at ABU GRAB, who blew the whistle and was railroaded. Another guy was a Lt. Col. who was on ABLE DANGER and testified that Muhhamed Atta was ID’d 13 before the 9/11 attacks. A third guy worked for the FBI and said that he was told to use information from an ILLEGAL WIRETAP and was told to “pretend it never happened”. The fourth guy was an NSA Agent and blew the whistle on the NSA’s WARRANTLESS DOMESTIC WIRETAPPING program. The NSA guy even stated that there were other program (just like I pointed out during the Alberto Gonzales hearings) that wiretap millions of Americans. The last guy on the first panel worked for the Department of Energy as a Nuclear Weapons Protection Agent. It was his job to test the security of our nuclear weapons sites. He stated flat out that our nuclear weapons arsenal is wide open for the terrorists to attack.
There are big things happening right this very minute. How come Think Progress isn’t covering them? You guys a long with a handful of other sites make a difference. Everybody else is blowing smoke. Importanat subjects aren’t being covered with the over coverage of Cheney shooting somebody in the face. Can we cover some of the other stuff too? Please.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:19 pmWhy doesn’t the great white hunter let Jon Stewart interview him?
If I were Stewart, I would not want the guy within six blocks of the studio. After all, accidents happen.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:20 pmI especially like the part of the hunting accident form:
Hunter Education Certified?

Bush just said “our” people…….cant wait till someone shoots this pig.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:21 pmWe are continuing to cover all the issues. Stay tuned.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:22 pmRon Christie is the cockeyed minority face that Kenny Mehlman throws before the cameras to show how inclusionary the Right is. On Hardball, Christie called CHENEY’S accident a private affair and the public had no right to details. Matthews, possibly mesmerized by Christie’s eyeball and mentally comparing it to Sammy Davis Jr., never eviscerated Christie over that laughable comment nor compared it to Clinton/Lewinsky.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:22 pmRe: nobody seems to care how Cheney feels about all this.
I’m sure if Cheney “felt” anything regarding this issue, Scooter McClellan would have let the press know yesterday. Other than “you’ll have to refer your questions to the office of the VP,” we really didn’t learn much, now did we?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:25 pmHow is he, the man with a black heart, mr Go Fuck Yourself, feeling?

February 15th, 2006 at 12:25 pmAnyone actually gonna watch Hume ask the softball questions?
It would be pure torcher!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:25 pm#24 – - Bush visits Pakistan in March. I wonder if Cheney scheduled that junket.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:25 pmThanks Judd.
When I saw the hearings last night, my mouth was hanging open. These five guys blew the lid off of the White House’s incompetence.
And unlike all of the other hearings, this was not a dog and pony show. This was not Republicans vs Democrats. It was a truly bi-partisan hearing. You could see that every Representative on the committee was shocked by what they heard. Because everything these guys got railroaded for ended up coming to light and ended up being true.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:25 pmI am sure Faux News will continue to put the blame on Wittington as the rightwingers have been doing since this story broke.
Really? Haven’t heard any wingnut chatter on this story, but, for some reason, it really wouldn’t surprise me. Why does this Whittington guy have to make our
February 15th, 2006 at 12:25 pmVicePresident look bad. He must hate our Second Amendment rights, America, and the baby Jesus (or something to that effect).Spudge_Boy if average Americans were highly intelligent, then they would want to focus on the NSA wiretapping and other things, but since a lot of Americans can’t relate to those events this one they seem to grasp! Cheney is lying about what happened bigtime and there is a chance here to expose him in his lies!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:26 pmI have it!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:30 pmUse the old television for the fux news cover-dick’s-ass-a-view and practice my bird hunting on the screen!
“A private accident???”
Hahahahaha!
This is one of those “John Kennedy was a good friend of mine. Sir, you are no John Kennedy” moments.
Let’s see…
A private accident is dropping a plate at home during dinner and breaking it.
A private accident is driving your car into the garage and hitting the gas pedal instead of the brakes and failing to stop in time, crashing into the wall and doing $1000 worth of damage to your car.
A private accident is stepping on the skateboard your kid left at the bottom of the stairs and falling on your ___.
This, sir, was no private accident.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:31 pmJay Randal,
I agree and the MSM is covering this. We need to keep our eyes on the prize. I come to TP to gather facts, articles and to discuss issuses not covered by the MSM. I do not think that we need to stop covering this topic, I just think that it seems like every thread is about Cheney. All of the other issues are getting the “little grey box” coverage. Not to mention post counts are down. The trolls are actually leaving this topic alone and the thread are dying on the vine.
But, Judd just said that they will be covering the other stuff too. So, that is good enough for me. Hearing from Judd sooths the savage beast. : )
February 15th, 2006 at 12:31 pmAnd if we let Cheney walk away from this, in a few months he will be back hunting in Texas and might kill the next guy?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:31 pm“We are continuing to cover all the issues. Stay tuned.”

Really? Cause I thought you’d changed to “Think Cheney” with the coverage you’ve been giving him.
How about this:
Ballot botch: Coulter votes in wrong precinct
By Jose Lambiet
Palm Beach Post Columnist
Wednesday, February 15, 2006
She may be smart enough to earn millions from her acidic political barbs, but when it comes to something as simple as voting in her tiny hometown, hard-core conservative pundit Ann Coulter is a tad confused.
Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections records show Coulter voted last week in Palm Beach’s council election. Problem is: She cast her ballot in a precinct 4 miles north of the precinct where she owns a home — and that could be a big no-no.
Coulter, who owns a $1.8 million crib on Seabreeze Avenue, should have voted in Precinct 1198. It covers most homes on her street. Instead, records show, she voted in Precinct 1196, at the northern tip of the island.
A fave on the college speaking circuit and the occasional target of cream-pies-to-the-face, Coulter registered as a Republican (no kidding!) with the supervisor’s office June 24. That’s three months after she bought the home and moved to Palm Beach from Manhattan.
Here’s the sticky part for The Right’s Lady Macbeth: She wrote down an Indian Road address instead of Seabreeze on her voter’s registration application. And she signed to certify the information as true.
“She never lived here,” said Suzanne Frisbie, owner of the Indian Road home. “I’m Ann’s Realtor, and she used this address to forward mail when she moved from New York.”
Coulter didn’t respond to requests for comment. But the blond GOP pit bull’s former agent, Joani Evans, last year told Page Two Coulter left NYC to escape stalkers.
Is a desire to hold on to privacy the reason she gave the wrong address?
“I know but I’m not going to say,” Frisbie replied.
No matter, Florida statutes make it a third-degree felony to vote knowingly in the wrong precinct. Lying on a voter’s registration can cost up to $5,000 and five years behind bars.
“We’re not a policing agency,” says Elections Chief Deputy Charmaine Kelly. “You do not have to show proof that you live at your address. But when you sign the registration application, you also take an oath that everything you wrote is the truth.
“If someone brings us proof that a person falsified a registration, we’ll check into it, then refer the matter to the state attorney’s office if necessary.”
Isn’t Ann the same person who said this about voting in Florida:
“We’ve gone from rolling our eyes at some hapless old people claiming they slipped and voted for the wrong guy to Fox News’ Morton Kondracke saying of the ballot, “Well, yeah, sure now it looks easy.”
“Nostalgic Stalinists from Brooklyn, N.Y., now transplanted to Florida in their dotage, have already trotted out lawsuits demanding a second chance to vote because they were confused by the ballot.”
“Are you still with me? OK, how is it that a manual recount will remedy the problem of the “butterfly” ballot? How can it compensate people who claim they voted for the wrong guy by mistake (whoops! slipped!)?”
February 15th, 2006 at 12:32 pmJay Randal, once again, I didn’t say stop covering it. I said cover other stuff too, also, in addition to, as well as. You know.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:33 pmYes Spudge_Boy I agree with you about having other topics with this on here! I just believe that this incident maybe the one that takes Cheney out of office, if it is pursued enough by the press!
February 15th, 2006 at 12:37 pmWhenever the repugs need a token black, out comes Ron Christie. This guy is joke.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:38 pmHume: “Mr. Cheney, after you took your shotgun and blew off that 78 year old man’s face, it must have been very traumatic for you. How are you getting through this?”
“I know that hatemongers like Cindy Sheehan are wishing ill will on you, but what would she know about the trauma of what it is like to shoot off an old man’s face?”
“We hope that you find the personal moral strenght to get you through these challenging times. We know God is watching upon you with smiling and warm eyes, and may he smote any who who wish ill will upon you also.”
Cheney: “We know that Al Qaeda is watching and that they will hit us soon and that sometimes we have to make the tough decisions. I chose to show Al Qaeda that we will be tough, we will shoot old men in the face if that is what it takes to win the war on terror.”
Hume: “God be praised, could you touch my sleeve with your gilded hand once more and perhaps breath some of your life giving magic onto this flower that I will give to my children?”
Cheney: “God bless you Britt and God bless our conservative culture of life.”
Hume: “All hail Our Dear Leader”.

February 15th, 2006 at 12:39 pmStay tuned — next post (coming up in a few minutes) is UNRELATED to Cheney.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:39 pmHey Dick, how are you feeling?
Oh, really? That’s too bad… Well, go fuck yourself.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:40 pmCould this be a new way to stop the flow of people
February 15th, 2006 at 12:42 pminto the country? South Texas is a pathway from Mexico and now that they know Cheney may be out there with a gun….
Dick Cheney doesn’t have a properly functioning heart, in either the literal or—more importantly—the figurative sense. I have never seen any credible indication of human empathy come from his mouth ever.
He’s manipulative, secretive, selfish, greedy, and is essentially nothing like the Fox News liars portray him.
But all of this is obvious.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:42 pmWhat’s this? Those liberals on Fox feeling sorry for the criminal… what about the rights of the victim? I am shocked, shocked that the rights of a victim of gun violence are being ignored.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:43 pmAnd I agree with you too. This Cheney thing is huge. It is all everybody at work is talking about. As I said in another thread, it isn’t just here. I got an e-mail from our Australian office regarding our crazy vp and his gun.
But, unlike right wingers and the average human. We are able to focus on more than one thing at a time. I feel like part of my brain is asleep right now. : )
February 15th, 2006 at 12:50 pmI’m confused. Was Christie there to talk about the VP’s feelings or to plug his book???
February 15th, 2006 at 12:51 pmThere are big things happening right this very minute. How come Think Progress isn’t covering them? You guys a long with a handful of other sites make a difference. Everybody else is blowing smoke. Importanat subjects aren’t being covered with the over coverage of Cheney shooting somebody in the face. Can we cover some of the other stuff too? Please.

Or how about a little liberal angst over the United Arab Emirates company that will be in charge of running several of our most important ports? That’s a slam dunk Bush bash if there ever was one. Ditto the Mexican drug cartels that are hopping back and forth across our border shooting at the Border Patrol and infiltrating American cities.
When it comes right down to it the Donks and the Republicans two peas in a pod.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:52 pmFrom today’s WSJ:
The Vice President shoots a man. Questions must be asked.
Wednesday, February 15, 2006 12:01 a.m.
The press corps is outraged that the White House waited 20 hours or so to disclose that Vice President Dick Cheney had shot a hunting companion, and we can see why. Don’t these Bush people understand that the coverup is worse than the crime?
In the name of media solidarity, and in the interest of restraining the Imperial Presidency, we have put together the following coverup timeline with crucial questions that deserve to be answered:
• 5:30 p.m., Saturday (all times Central Standard Time). Mr. Cheney sprays Harry Whittington with birdshot, and the Secret Service immediately informs local police. Who is Harry Whittington and whom does he lobby for? Does he know Scooter Libby?
• 6:30 p.m. White House Chief of Staff Andy Card informs President Bush that there’s been a hunting accident involving the Vice President’s party. Did Mr. Bush ask follow-up questions? Was he intellectually curious?
• 7 p.m. Karl Rove tells Mr. Bush that it is Mr. Cheney who did the shooting. Why was this detail withheld for a full 30 minutes from the President? Who else did Mr. Rove talk to about this in the interim? Was Valerie Plame ever mentioned?
• 5 a.m., Sunday. White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan learns that Mr. Cheney is the shooter. He also fails to alert the media. Did he rush to write talking points or fall back to sleep?
• 11 a.m. Katharine Armstrong, owner of the ranch where the shooting took place, blows the story sky-high by giving the news to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. According to Ms. Armstrong, Mr. Cheney told her to do what she thought made sense. Has Ms. Armstrong ever worked for Halliburton?
• 1:30 p.m. The Texas paper posts the story on its Web site, after calling the Veep’s office for confirmation. Everyone involved confirms more or less everything, or so the official line goes. Their agreement is very suspicious.
• 11:27 a.m., Monday. Mr. McClellan finally holds a press conference and gets grilled. One reporter actually asks (and we’re not making this one up), “Would this be much more serious if the man had died?”
For the record, Mr. McClellan replied, “Of course it would.” We hope the 78-year-old Mr. Whittington recovers promptly after his heart attack yesterday. As for the Beltway press corps, it has once again earned the esteem in which it is held by the American public.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:53 pmDick’s defense: Those were low flying killer quail. When flushed, they they stay low and try to circle behind the hunter for a counter-attack.
Or maybe Dick’s over-lubricated trigger finger was just plain tuckered out from pulling so many shots? It’s not easy work killing so many domesicated pigeons.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:53 pmAnd I agree with you too. This Cheney thing is huge. It is all everybody at work is talking about. As I said in another thread, it isn’t just here. I got an e-mail from our Australian office regarding our crazy vp and his gun.

So you work with a bunch of homosexuals? This is about as huge as the load in your pants spudge. Get a grip. All the man did was shoot a lawyer. BFD
February 15th, 2006 at 12:56 pmYeah, talk about your Brokeface Mountain, this little dickie needs a REAL cowboy to set him straight.
February 15th, 2006 at 12:58 pmAnd if we let Cheney walk away from this, in a few months he will be back hunting in Texas and might kill the next guy?
Pre-emptive strike on the “undisclosed location,” anyone?
February 15th, 2006 at 12:59 pmAnd I agree with you too. This Cheney thing is huge. It is all everybody at work is talking about. As I said in another thread, it isn’t just here. I got an e-mail from our Australian office regarding our crazy vp and his gun.

Most of my classes don’t even know about the Hubble telescope or the Mars rovers… I wish they were talking about this :)
We start the Big Bang next week. I will tell them that it’s a theory – that we were not there to see it. But, just as a jury was not present at the crime when it was supposedly committted – it is possible to examine evidence and facts, while using logic, to know the truth about events we did not personally witness first hand…
February 15th, 2006 at 1:01 pm#53 – Fair’s fair IRI. Clinton lied about a bj and nearly got impeached. Can we at least unleash a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of Birdshotgate?
February 15th, 2006 at 1:02 pmI-RIGHT-I,
Yeah that’s it, all 1,600 employees at a global technology company are homosexuals. Yeah, that’s the ticket. You’re a moron and your homophobia is showing again.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:03 pmStay on this topic…Living in GA I can’t tell you how many people voted for Bush because he was against gay marriage, that was their #1 issue..My brother ( the black sheep in the family) is a gun totin’ NRA member and all around #1 bush fan, an he’s actually pissed off over this…doesn’t like the fact that Cheney is being dealt like the law doesn’t apply to him.. My guess is there is a lot of hunters out there, that are none to pleased over this, and I bet a majority of them are repuglicans..It’s bad enough when rove/mecllenen/faux news want us to “move on” but this story has some real legs or those boys wouldn’t be trying to bury it..Agree that there are “more important issues” but this one has “the base” questioning bushco, where those other ones have them in lockstep with them..
February 15th, 2006 at 1:03 pmGLAD THEY CAN KEEP FINDING WORK FOR THEIR COCK-EYED TOKEN.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:05 pmTony W,
I live in Georgia also. Was born in NJ, but grew up here. So, I know the people you’re talking about…
But my point… My mother told me the other day that this incident was all the other guy’s fault and the VP wasn’t responsible, because that’s what the local FOX evening news team said…
February 15th, 2006 at 1:08 pmI just keep sayin’ stupid stuff cos i’m a moron.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:09 pmI-RIGHT-I
You do know that most of the jerks Bush has workin’ for him are lawyers right? I mean you loved the fvck out of Roberts and Alito and they are nothing but high ranking lawyers. SO, you think it is okay to shoot lawyers. Sorry, I ain’t jumping on your bandwagon. I have nothing against lawyers, then again I have never done anything that would require me to hire one and have never had a lawyer come after me.
SO, I-RIGHT-I, what did you do that makes you dislike lawyers so much that you don’t mind seeing them get shot?
February 15th, 2006 at 1:09 pmRemember the Runaway Bride?
Christie’s eyes are more comical and less frightening than her’s. But he’s a voluntary slave boy for the Faux/Bush News Channel. If I find his address, I’ll send him anonymous copies of Ebony and Jet.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:10 pmYou can say that again and again and again and again and again and a……….
February 15th, 2006 at 1:11 pm“The Vice President is a very forthcoming guy” I just about did a spit take on that one! Laughing out loud while reading this at work could get me in trouble. I guess David cross had it right when he joked that Cheney could eat a baby on live TV and Fox would defend him! You can’t make up stuff this funny!!
February 15th, 2006 at 1:11 pmHume: “Do VP Cheney, How are you doing after this terrible, unfortunate hunting accident?”
Cheney: (slouched over) “Well Brit, it has been very difficult for me. I feel so bad about what happened. It was unexpected and I never thought for a minute that Whittington was there. I followed all the proper hunting safety requirements… It was just unfortunate that Wittington stepped in front of me at the wrong time. I just feel so bad…”
Hume: “Mr. Cheney, I am sorry that you have had to go through this terrible experience. My thoughts and prayers are with you as I know the rest of America feels the same.”
Poor Dick… It really is all about him…
February 15th, 2006 at 1:12 pmMAN, HARD TO BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD TAKE FOX SERIOUSLY AS A NEWS SOURCE, BUT I GUESS SOME DO.
UP NORTH, IT SEEMS LIKE THE FOX AFFILIATES PEDDLE SLEAZE MORE THAN RIGHT-WING POLITICS.
GUESS THEY DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO KEEP RUPERT MURDOCH AND ROGER AILES IN BUSINESS.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:13 pmYes, Mrs. Hamilton, your husband is dead, but….
How does VP Aaron Burr feel? We at FoxNews want to know!
February 15th, 2006 at 1:15 pm“A Private Accident?”
It was the Vice President/Dictatotr of the United States of America. How stupid can Ron Christie be?
By the way, we shouldn’t even give Fox News ratings by tuning in at 6pm. That’s a ploy by the administration and the Network to gain more power.
The best thing to do is to tape record of Tivo. Then, after 7pm, rewind and watch the interview (or Hume’s asslicking on his hands and knees to Darth Cheney.)
We do not want to unknowingly give Fox credit for granting their ally his 1st interview since the shooting. By the way, do you think the Bubble Administration is secretly funding the Faux News Channel?
February 15th, 2006 at 1:15 pmThat’s their MO, peddle sleaze to kids and right wing crap to adults. God bless that great Patriot Amer…er Australian Rupert Murdoch!
February 15th, 2006 at 1:16 pmunbelievable,
That is the other part of my issue with all of the Cheney coverage. The right is not siding with the left on this. The MSM may finally be on the left’s side, but the right is not.
From my dad I got an I-RIGHT-I answer in the form of “The good news is Cheney’s approval rating went up to 92% when everybody found out it was a lawyer.
From my mom I got hysterical laughter. She just couldn’t believe that Cheney did something so stupid. When I told her that the man was behind Cheney and that Cheney had to have spun a 180 and shot him in the face, all of a sudden she had to get off the phone, because she would have to admit negligence.
So, no this story is not waking up the American public. They are not starting to question the administration and as far as they are concerned, this is yesterdays news.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:16 pmTo answer the question about how VP Cheney must be feeling … I, for one, think he is probably in disgrace, to be honest about it.
A disgrace, perhaps, aided and abetted by Al Cohol and Uncle Fuseloyle.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:17 pmprefer to read dick gregory’s book and how he replied why he sent his book to the white house. seen what bush and vp thinks of blacks in N.O.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:18 pmlet me say this: dick and friends didn’t call because dick knew he did not have the license. dick did not call because he violated the hunting law of the SHOOTER has the responsibility of making sure the path is clear. this was no accident. this is called carelessness at it’s highest. and what makes it so bad dick knew his partner was in the line of shot and dick didn’t care. so see dick run and be saved by the captain. this is nothing but a cover-up. this bushco, reichwing admin. is nothing but destruction.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:20 pmSomewhere, in a parallel universe:
Neil Cavuto:
“Meanwhile, the White House press corps again beating a dead horse as it tries to find out why they were not told right away about the President’s ejaculation incident. Not one person bothering to ask, in the meantime, how Bill Clinton’s feeling about all this. After all, he’s a human being and ejaculating all over someone else’s dress can take a huge toll. With us now someone who knows the President pretty well. Monica Lewinsky is a former Clinton intern and author of “Blue Dress in the White House”. Good to have you back my friend.
Monica Lewinsky:
Bill Clinton is a very nice man, a very warm individual. From the opportunity, and as I talk about it in my book Neil, “Blue Dress in the White House” the opportunity to work on his staff you get to work with him very closely and get to see what sort of person he is. He’s a very caring person. Obviously one of his friends was involved in a rather unfortunate incident. I’m quite certain that the president is very concerned and you have seen the tapes that was released earlier today that the president continued to call his friend and to check up on her. It’s a very warm, very caring guy.
The president is a very forth coming guy but this was a private incident. This was a private event. I think there is a tempest and (sic) a teapot going on in Washington right now.
-Monica Lewinsky
February 15th, 2006 at 1:20 pmYeah…let’s ask the Dark Lord Vader how his artificial body parts that keep him alive have been affected by this tramatic experience and while were on the subject, how this accident is different from his stay-the-course view on Iraq, even knowning what he knows now (about NO WMD’s and NO 9/11-Saddam link) he still would have sent those 2300 + kids to their deaths, how this half human half machine feels about that?
February 15th, 2006 at 1:24 pm#44…..funniest post of the day
February 15th, 2006 at 1:31 pmPoor Cheney! His friend was involved in an accident. Reminds me of the classic definition of chutzpa: when you kill your parents and beg mercy from the court because you’re an orphan!
February 15th, 2006 at 1:32 pmMe: “Mr. Christie, have you ever been sprayed in the face by Mr. Ken Mehlmans’ loaded gun?”
Christie: “This is a personal, private matter, and I hve never seen Mr. Mehlmans short, pink, curved to the left penis with a mole on the left side”.
Me: “Mr. Christie, were you shot in the face or the chest”.
Christie: “I am not going to engage in the aim game, where is Scott McLellan-Gannon when you need him?”
Me: “Mr. McLellan-Gannon is working hard with Congressman David Drier on the new ‘Leave no childs behind, behind’ program.”
Me, again: “Mr. Christie, how do you, Scott McLellan-Gannon, Condi Rice, Davide Drier and Ken Mehlman and Rush Limbaugh feel about the new efforts at promoting family values. Are you upset about liberals who promote the homosexual agenda that allows for adults not to be married and to not promote the culture of life by marrying and procreating to push a pro-family agenda?”
Christie: “I have to get going, I am late to my bathhouse opening”.
Me: “Thank you for supporting a culture of life”.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:34 pmThis is one of the most despised, loathed, and hated Vice Presidents in the history of our country. Last I looked he had only a 19% approval rating.
The only people who “care” about poor Dick are the corporate CEOs, arms manufacturers, oil industry big wigs, and employees of Fox News who benefit most from him staying alive.
That means 81% if not more of the country would prefer to see Cheney go f**k himself on national TV.
February 15th, 2006 at 1:44 pm[...] link Cat: [...]
February 15th, 2006 at 1:56 pmYes how does he feel. Did he manage to get the bird too.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:02 pmHow can any incident involving the vice president be a private matter? If this Christie guy is that far up Cheney’s butt then why is a “former” Cheney staffer? Sounds like he should still be on the payroll.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:14 pmSo the bastard with the cold, stainless steel heart is supposed to have our sympathy? If he were a normal-feeling person with his medical condition, he might have suffered an heart attack himself, right there on the spot. But we’re talking about Dick Cheney – the most calculating and sinister member of this administration. The man is rotting from the inside out, but his generator heart is being kept beating with his energizer batteries.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:15 pmBTW, Fox is repeating the same talking points that must have been included in the RNC bulletin of the day — Sen. Norm Coleman used the very same phrasing in expressing his outrage that people weren’t considering the emotional state of Dick.

When I told her that the man was behind Cheney and that Cheney had to have spun a 180 and shot him in the face, all of a sudden she had to get off the phone, because she would have to admit negligence.
Comment by Spudge_Boy — February 15, 2006 @ 1:16 pm
Spudge, you point out a simple, but very important, fact regarding this that I don’t think most folks are grasping. Cheney had to know that Whittington would be in the general direction he was firing. To suggest otherwise is, well, illogical.
Had the participants agreed to split up before they went off hunting, it would have been a different story. But as I understand it, they were walking along as a group. I’m not a hunter, but it seems to me that in this situation, if a member is missing from your group, to go pee in the weeds or retrieve a bird, or whatever, you wait until he returns before you proceed.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:17 pmLet’s see… you shoot your hunting buddy, see him off in an ambulance, and then go have dinner at the ranch? Warm, caring, concerned. Helloo, you just shot the guy and you can’t even go to the emergency room and be with him during this? “Well, done all I can do *wink, wink*. Time to git back to tha drinkin’ boys!”
February 15th, 2006 at 2:18 pm#86
Yeah. Cheney has shown all of the world how he feels by clamming up for 4 days after the shooting. We don’t have to ask.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:20 pmsometimes i just wonder…….huh……..maybe i should ask if dick wants to go quail hunting with me accidentally hit him and put “it” on his doorstep with a little note: you should have yelled.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:24 pmYou need to lay off our VP! My gosh, this happens alot when hunting. You Liberals never hunt so you wouldnt know about that! If it was up to you only the criminals would have guns! He is quite embarassed as even the libs would if they shot someone. H@#L you guys wont even kill a convicted killer if it is up to you so an accident has to be terrible. If he would have shot a pregnant woman in the stomach (abortion?) that would be ok, right? You libs beleive in letting old people kill themselves or have help…hmmm, sick but does this qualify?
February 15th, 2006 at 2:29 pmAs many shots you gave to Dan Quail I guess missing Quail is not ok?
I know why you are mad, though…It seems to me killing a lawyer is just a good start!
You LIBs need to seriouly get a life…you are losers…think Mr. (I wish I was a War Hero instead of a fraud )Kerry, Mr. I wish Hillary could look away so I can get another BJ by a fat chick) Clinton, Mr. (I invented the internet) Gore.
3 words for dick go fornicate yourself have too much respect for my parents to use your words in public. not to air your spin is not going to stop your fans at least every where you go it will be the same qustions it won’t go away and you said your prayers last night for mr. whittington but that same God you prayed too will tell you what happen last Sat. when you stand in front of his judgement seat
February 15th, 2006 at 2:29 pmThere are big things happening right this very minute. How come Think Progress isn’t covering them? You guys a long with a handful of other sites make a difference. Everybody else is blowing smoke. Importanat subjects aren’t being covered with the over coverage of Cheney shooting somebody in the face. Can we cover some of the other stuff too? Please.
Comment by Spudge_Boy #21
Spudge,
I e-mailed Senators from my state months ago, asking WHY whistleblowers weren’t being protected by Democrats…
…received no answer…
…this is a HUGE scandal…
…the government is obviously doing its level best to discourage such activities as whistleblowing…
…look at Bunnatine Greenhouse at Pentagon procurement who blew the whistle on Halliburton and the no-bid contracts (demoted)…
Sybil Edmonds former FBI translator (fired)…
…and Koleen Rowley also a former FBI’er(forced resignation)…
…while all of their “superiors who screwed up have been promoted…
The Bushite criminal cabal has a standard practice that seems to be working…
…no matter what the scandal, stay quiet, stay cohesive, and it’ll all blow over…
Shame on the American people…
…we should ALL be in Washington surrounding the White House, Naval Observatory, and Karl Rove’s house…
…they should ALL be under arrest…
February 15th, 2006 at 2:31 pmSeems to me Whittington has a great case should he choose to sue Dr. Evil for shooting him.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:33 pm#91 that’s how uneducated you reichwingers are. hunting accidents don’t happen all the time. they are rare. and what’s wrong with a bj in the oval office? sounds like the only life you reichwingers have is murder. and then use god to justify all your illegal actions. you religious, cowards are the reason for the mess. if you believe in god, jesus christ follow it all the way don’t just cherry pick it to suit your actions for the moment and then change. fricken hypocrits.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:38 pmSo, no this story is not waking up the American public. They are not starting to question the administration and as far as they are concerned, this is yesterdays news.
Comment by Spudge_Boy — February 15, 2006 @ 1:16 pm
It’s astounding how wide that generational gap is… One of my cousins believes that she has literally seen angels rising off her bed one night while her husband was asleep. She has her master’s degree in education. Fortunately, she is raising her two kids, and is only telling this to them instead of 120 each year…
Ultimately, I’ve begun to believe we are evolving again. (Our brains, in particular, since those other wildlife survival instincts are no longer used). It’s how some of us use the logic center, while others focus on their emotions. And I think that some day, as a result, there will be people who will not believe that we used to be related to the other tree in the branch :).
February 15th, 2006 at 2:38 pmYou LIBs need to seriouly get a life…you are losers…think Mr. (I wish I was a War Hero instead of a fraud )Kerry, Mr. I wish Hillary could look away so I can get another BJ by a fat chick) Clinton, Mr. (I invented the internet) Gore.

warped judgement,
Obviously you’re concerned that your god L’il Dick will be politically damaged by this little mishap…
…you shouldn’t be too concerned because the traitors who run the MSM are inbred pigfu*kers like you…
…with one exception…
…they get paid to deflect criticism away from their “goose” that lays golden (corporate) eggs for them…
…What do you get “warped”?
…tax cuts?
…you’ve given those to the oil gods a long time ago…
…safety?
…that’s right, we haven’t been hit here on ‘merkin’soil in four years cause L’il Dick and Bushiva have been fightin’ ‘em over there t’ keep from fightin’ ‘em over here.”
…but the borders and ports are wide open, and several key ports soon to be under UAE control…
…”warped”, get educated, get knowledgeable, then get lost, you traitor…
Why do you hate America?
Why do you hate our Constitution?
Why do you hate our way of life?
February 15th, 2006 at 2:43 pmIt is a past time of certain “Republicans” to make fun of the “bleeding-heart” liberals, and quite frankly, this and Alito’s wife crying by the hands of Senator Lindsey Graham, the “Republicans” seem to have their fair share of “bleeding-hearts”; no pun intended when you consider the condition of Cheney’s heart.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:44 pmyou’re right. i’m an idiot.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:49 pmPoor Cheney!
He’s STILL hungover and he actually pulled a muscle in his leg running away from the Sheriff!
February 15th, 2006 at 2:50 pmGeez, you guys lambasted Cheney for not serving in the military, and now that he SHOOTS someone, you can’t give him credit?
February 15th, 2006 at 2:52 pm91- Do those straw men come with the morning talking points, or did you actually come up with that crap all by yourself? Frightening to think that an individual with that limited a capacity for reasoning can actually turn on a computer… Oh, I’m sorry, you were engaging in sarcasm. I get it. My bad.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:55 pmMr Christie says:
“The vice president is a very forth coming guy but this was a private accident. This was a private event. I think there is a tempest and a teapot going on in Washington right now.”
I’m willing to accept that statement, because as we learned during the Clinton years a private event is grounds for impeachment. In this case it’s shooting a man without a hunting license, so there was an actual crime committed, but the principal is the same.
February 15th, 2006 at 2:55 pmGeez, you guys lambasted Cheney for not serving in the military, and now that he SHOOTS someone, you can’t give him credit?
Now that is funny.
February 15th, 2006 at 3:00 pmDid Cheney also shoot Ron in the eye?
February 15th, 2006 at 3:16 pmmark judson, you are an absolute joke of a man.
Steve Grieshaber
February 15th, 2006 at 3:22 pmThis was a reminder from the guy from upstairs to Cheney. The guy upstairs calls the shots, not the admin. Of course Cheney will continue on, not paying attention to the message from upstairs, and Cheney will eventually get his, maybe not soon enough, but it will come.
February 15th, 2006 at 3:26 pmWill somebody please tell me how much vaseline it will take to dislodge Ron Christie from the collective GOP Fat Ass?
February 15th, 2006 at 3:35 pmGod,he’s so pathetic and disguisting.
#91 Mr. Judson,
I don’t know where you’re getting your “facts” from, but among all the other obviously incorrect things you said in this comment, you tried to conrtinue the right-wing lie that Al Gore claimed to have invented the internet. He NEVER made any such claim, if you were familiar with the truth, you would know that. And if you’re not familiar with the truth, then I suggest you find a new source for information, because the one you have is obviously flawed.
Have a nice day, and don’t stand too close to the Vice President, on account of he shot a 78-year-old man in the face.
February 15th, 2006 at 3:48 pmDon’t know if this was posted but it sounds like the fix is in down in Texas. Geeze, didn’t these guys screw up JFK’s autopsy too?
February 15th, 2006 at 3:52 pmDamn, sorry…

Account of Doctors Raises Questions on Heart Injury
By LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
The account given yesterday by doctors caring for the Texas lawyer accidentally shot by Vice President Dick Cheney last weekend raises serious questions about how and when a pellet entered his heart and what tests were done to establish where the pellet was lodged, doctors not connected with his case said.
Although the public was told for the first time yesterday that a shotgun pellet from a hunting accident had lodged in the lawyer’s heart, one of his doctors said that “we knew that he had some birdshot very close to the heart from the get-go,” but not its precise location.
Such evidence would have come from standard chest X-rays and a CT scan if one was performed shortly after his admission to a hospital in Corpus Christi, Tex.
Earlier accounts described as minor the pellet wounds that the lawyer, Harry M. Whittington, suffered in the face, neck, chest and ribs.
Mr. Cheney sprayed Mr. Whittington, 78, with 6 to 200 pieces of birdshot, the doctors said yesterday. One pellet apparently moved to damage his heart, causing two problems: an abnormal heart rhythm, atrial fibrillation, and a minor heart attack that were detected early yesterday morning, the doctors said in a news conference at Christus Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi.
Their account left open the source of the birdshot that migrated to the heart and how it got there.
Dr. O. Wayne Isom, the chairman of heart and chest surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, said it was unlikely that a pellet would migrate to the heart through the bloodstream, as some have assumed from the account of the Texas doctors.
The reason, Dr. Isom said, is that the pellet would have to enter a vein, travel to and through the lung vessels that go to the heart, and then lodge in heart tissue, not in one of its chambers. The pellets were approximately five millimeters, about the size of a BB, and larger than most blood vessels, said Dr. David Blanchard, director of emergency services at the hospital.
A more likely explanation, Dr. Isom said, is that the pellet lodged in or touched the heart when Mr. Whittington was shot.
Doctors use different X-ray techniques to determine the position of a pellet in the heart. But the account of the Texas doctors was unclear regarding which ones they performed and when.
Dr. Peter Banko, the Texas hospital’s emergency department medical director, said doctors there did an ultrasound, a CT scan and a cardiac catheterization, which provide two-dimensional images. Dr. Banko said the hospital had a 64-slice CT scan that could provide three-dimensional images, but he did not say that the doctors performed the more sophisticated one on Mr. Whittington, or if so, when.
Doctors try to synchronize such CT X-rays with the heartbeat to avoid blurring from motion, said Dr. Jeffrey P. Goldman, a specialist in heart CT scans at Manhattan Diagnostic Radiology. But, Dr. Goldman said, doctors cannot synchronize a CT scan in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Metal in a pellet can cause a different kind of blurring in CT scans. But the Texas doctors did not say that they performed a 64-slice CT scan after they learned Mr. Whittington had a pellet near his heart and before he developed the abnormal rhythm.
Dr. Goldman said that “until you do the test you don’t know how much blurring there is.”
Dr. Isom said patients could develop atrial fibrillation two to three days after stitches were placed in a heart or it was injured.
The Texas doctors did not say how they determined that Mr. Whittington had had a heart attack. Two standard tests are from electrocardiograms and measuring enzymes. But injuries to the heart can cause a rise in enzymes that may not necessarily represent a heart attack.
The Texas doctors and the White House doctors with whom they discussed Mr. Whittington’s case did not respond to a request for interviews.
February 15th, 2006 at 3:53 pmIf anyone else did the shooting, Whittington would sue like crazy. And if Whittington ends up dying, his family would sue like crazy, but since the shooter was from “family”, no charges. Like those incredibly dysfunctional families that shoot each other and forgive it.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:02 pm[...] It seems we are being insensitive to The Dick’s feelings and this matter is of little real importance. There are more important places to put our time and money, like we did with Whitewater and investigating Clinton’s sex life. [...]
February 15th, 2006 at 4:17 pmUncle Tom.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:19 pmI mean really, how many black folk are there in Wyoming? 15? Why is it that a black man can sell his soul to a devil and hold beliefs that are foriegn and even detrimental to his existance? Most don’t, remember the poll a few months ago that showed black Americans having a 98% loathing of the shrub? Hell Black America is where I need to be, they’re the only group in the nation that has their stuff together.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:24 pmI have been hunting since I was 5 and I was in the military. You are just an apologist asshole that doesn’t know what the hell you’re talking about.
It doesn’t happen all the time. It is quite rare. If you just read a little beofre opening your pie hole, you’d know that.
It is the conservatives that aren’t good with weapons as has been shown by Dick Cheney and the fact that you people are scared to join the military. Chicken.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:34 pmWow, this story has grown over the course of the day. Now we have Cheney drinking, having dinner with family immediately after the accident, knowing that Whittington was standing there when he shot him (which would be murder by the way), releasing a statement blaming the victim, with a mistress (hence the “oh my god” 18 hour delay in releasing news of the shooting to the press), and a whole bunch of ignorant individuals who have no intelligent comments to make so resort to attacking a black man and calling him an “Uncle Tom” because he doesn’t believe what you believe. This is why liberals have such a reputation for being foolish idiots. I’m a “liberal” who is ashamed to be ascociated with the likes of most of you. Try some logical, reasonable, educated commentary.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:42 pmcheck this out:
“The vice president is a very forth coming guy but this was a private accident. This was a private event. I think there is a tempest and a teapot going on in Washington right now.”
If you thought this was a reference to a blow job in the White House which IS private, you are wrong. This refers to the Vice President shooting someone in the face and through the heart and belly aching that it is no big deal.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:48 pmPlus catch how many questions he answers with, He’s a very kind, nice, forthcoming, racist. Love, Uncle Tom, author of Black in the White House. Please…..
Where was it written that it was no big deal?
February 15th, 2006 at 4:53 pmI can’t believe anybody would tune in and listen to this b.s. It’s an insult to my intelligence.
February 15th, 2006 at 4:58 pmThanks, Spudgeboy, for the perspective….you’re absolutely right.(me, I’m guessing he was drinking; that seems at least likely, if not obvious.)
February 15th, 2006 at 5:12 pm117- Actually, you’re a troll who is trying to disparage the entire site because of a few non-representative posts. Why don’t you try posting something that at least sounds intelligent (instead of sounding like a pedantic scold), or go back to whatever Freeper site you came from.
February 15th, 2006 at 6:06 pmFox feels for Cheney…
Think Progress quotes Neil Cavuto from last night: CAVUTO: This is a Fox News alert. The lawyer accidentally hit by Vice President Dick Cheney suffering a mild heart attack this morning. Doctors say he’s doing just fine and could be…
February 15th, 2006 at 6:26 pmblackdog- Thanks for saying about what I should have called Christie. As a black man, I think that the poor kid needs to be reeducated on black politics. He should start with The Boondocks, the best comic to come out since Doonsbury.
Christie looks like a mixture of Stephen Fetchit and Wanda, the Ugly Girl from “In Living Color.”
February 15th, 2006 at 6:31 pmI wish everyone who is complaining about the comments on a matter which they believe has no bearing on anything and is a waste of time and discussion would recall that we had 8 years of talk about travel agents being dismissed, a land deal that lost money (must have been illegal, but it was not), hairdos, haircuts, jogs to McDonalds, and countless irrelevent trivia aimed to embarrass the president.
February 15th, 2006 at 7:11 pmTo spend time talking about an incident where a man was nearly killed by the VP known for his secrecy and deceit isn’t as trivial in comparison.
[...] It’s like they’re not even trying to be credible anymore. [...]
February 15th, 2006 at 8:40 pm[...] Fox News: Whittington ‘Doing Just Fine,’ But ‘How Is VP Cheney Feeling?’ [...]
February 15th, 2006 at 8:52 pmEveryone has got it all wrong, it wasn’t Dick that actually accidentally did the shooting, it was (CIA) oooops, Al Qaeda operative hiding in the bush near Dick. The evidence will later show this, I’m sure of this. Thats why there was a delay in questioning. It was to capture this rougue and torture him for the whereabouts of the terrorist pilots that were going to fly a stolen B52 bomber into the Statue of liberty.
February 15th, 2006 at 9:53 pm[...] Now get this Fox news is concerned…check the story here: http://thinkprogress.org/2006/02/15/dick-cheneys-feelings/ [...]
February 15th, 2006 at 11:41 pm122- Name-calling is intelligent? It exposes an incapability to produce any solid arguments. As for sticking around for this kind of discourse, this is it for me. I will go back to a site that offers a well-rounded discussion about topics that matter. I just stopped in for a good laugh.
February 16th, 2006 at 12:23 amNow Dems can unite in their favorite activity. Praying for the death of other Americans.
February 16th, 2006 at 7:27 amYes – I AM concerned with how ol’ Dick is feeling. And while were at it – how is Scott Peterson holding up? The man lost his wife and child. Is nobody concerned?

February 16th, 2006 at 3:22 pmBrendan Kelly, 27, of Midland, Texas, was issued a citation in Floyd County Dec. 3, 2005, for failure to obtain the upland game bird hunting stamp, which went into effect in September, said Steve Lightfoot, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokesman. He said that is the only citation issued since September. The department has no procedure for monitoring the number of warnings, he said
huh interesting!
February 17th, 2006 at 11:38 am#3 – “Who gives a **** what Cheney feels.” Rosekrants
February 17th, 2006 at 3:56 pmtsk…tsk…tsk.. Not very “progressive” of you….
Our mainstream media is poison. They no longer give us the facts, just their opinions. The creeps on FOX are entertainers, not journalists. Same goes for CNN. If you want the truth, steer clear of the msm and right-wing newspapers.
February 18th, 2006 at 1:05 amThe story has NOT changed, other than to stop blaming Whittington and Cheney admitting at long last that he had had “a beer at lunch”. What has not changed is that Whittington left the line to retrieve something and was behind Cheney when he was hit, that sheriffs were not allowed to speak to or question Cheney until the next day, and that Cheney did, indeed, have dinner at the ranch. All that was reported to the local press the next morning, by ranch owner Katharine Armstrong. You may stand there and scream until you are blue in the face that these are details fabricated by liberals, but sadly for you, that does not make them false.
As for you, Mark Judson #91, this liberal chick hunts. I like guns. I like shooting. And the way I was raised on our family ranch in Texas, where hunting is a way of life and EVERYONE does it, you don’t shoot unless you know damn good and sure where every member of your party is, and everyone has been accounted for. That goes hand in hand with not shooting something you can’t see, and any moron with half a brain knows it. So I’m sorry, but like it or not, if Dick Cheney didn’t know where Harry Whittington was, he violated a cardinal rule of hunting. Suck it up.
As for your crack about John Kerry, last time I checked, Kerry never shot a member of his team in the face. So as they say in my neck of the woods, that dog won’t hunt. Best get a new one.
February 24th, 2006 at 5:19 pmMy girlfriend and I are both 18 and I'm my girlfriends first. My question is sometimes she is in pain when we have sex. I've read http://www.strapon-fisting.info forum but find nothing.. We've had sex maybe 10 times and about 2 or 3 times we've had to stop because it hurts her to much. Anyone have any idea why this might be happening?

March 9th, 2006 at 10:00 pmHey RIGHT, when you need a lawyer, don’t come running to me. You can stand out there on your own and fall on your own ass. People need lawyers to defend them against jerks like you. And jerks like you have no right to get help from any decent lawyer since you clearly don’t have any rights that any of us would ever feel like defending. So if you’re in a car accident,getting a divorce, whatever, go ahead. Handle it yourself.
And while everyone’s dumping on Neil, he’s got his hands full with MS. Anyone know what THAT’S like?? I do. And if you get it, see how much fun it is while you dump all over Neil, and other people with MS — and lawyers. Then maybe you’ll figure out what a BFD really is. And although I’m a EDemocrat liberal who loathes Fox, but I also loathe arrogant narrow-minded assholes and demogogues of all kinds.
