Man shot by Cheney says he’s sorry for friend
Whittington doesn’t take questions about accident

WASHINGTON - The lawyer accidentally shot by Vice President Dick Cheney during a hunting trip was discharged from a hospital on Friday and told reporters he was sorry for all the trouble Cheney had faced over the past week.

Harry Whittington, wearing a suit and tie, gave a brief statement and didn’t take questions. His voice was a bit raspy but strong, and he had what appeared to be a line of scarring on his upper right eyelid and scrapes on his neck.

“We all assume certain risks in what we do, in what activities we pursue,” the 78-year-old Austin attorney said in a brief statement. “Accidents do and will happen.”

Whittington was hit in the face, neck and chest with birdshot Saturday during a hunting trip at a South Texas ranch. He had been in stable condition in a Corpus Christi hospital since suffering a mild heart attack Tuesday after a shotgun pellet traveled to his heart.

1. Whittington: Nothing to see here

Except my bruised and bloody face.

So now . . . where is Pamela Williford?

2. His tie went well with the discoloration on his face.

4. Yeah, it matches his open sores.

I wonder if he spent the check from Karl Rove on a gift package from Omaha Steaks, or a bunch of lap dances at Scores?

My contempt for this prick knows NO BOUNDS.

3. I'm going to get a doormat and have it personalized "WHITTINGTON"

The man seems to enjoy having people wipe their feet on him.

5. I wouldn't say that..

What i would say is that he, being one of the primary parties involved declared it was an accident. Sooooo, any other speculation and wishful thinking that it was anything more is counter productive.

6. Karl Rove sent him a check.

Maybe it was a blank check.

Maybe the amount was filled in.

KARL ROVE SENT HIM A CHECK.

8. Not many here would argue that it wasn't an accident....

That really isn't an issue.

The boys were drunk & needed to sober up. Since they are above the law, no problem if they delay reporting the incident for a couple of days.

That pisses me off.

Equal justice under the law?

10. On the other hand, I think I'll send him a book instead.

13. The difference between man and quail? The quail never

apologizes. The quail is a cold hearted son of a bitch bird. It does not apologize for being shot, or shot at. The tender heart of mankind was proven when this human apologized to the Cheney. Quite inspirational. *sniff*

Additionally quail don't know how to win elections, either.
