1. "Nobody could have anticipated Cheney shooting someone."

:sarcasm:

[Stephanie]

4. I believe the memo was entitled: The VP Is a Loose Cannon

but wait, let me explain!

19. VIDEOS-Selected from White House Press Briefing

When did the president know?

[deutsey]

22. lol

2. Cheneyquiddick

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. Yep.

:yoiks:

[Connie_Corleone]

3. "No one could have anticipated that Cheney was the shooter"

"We didn't find out until Sunday. On Saturday, we were saying, "Woo. Cheney dodged a bullet."

[madaboutharry]

5. This just shows how incompetent they are.

They can't handle anything right.

14. The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. ..... n/t

[Missy M]

6. I'm sure when he found out it was already his bedtime....

so he simply went to sleep. No one can interrupt his bedtime.

[Solly Mack]

7. Crock of shit quote of the week

"McClellan was informed Saturday night that someone in the Cheney hunting party was involved, but he didn't know that Cheney was the shooter until the next morning, the spokesman said."


Because no one asked who got shot and who did the shooting - yeah. right. That happened. A VP is involved in a shooting incident and no one bothered asking who got shot/who did the shooting.

[SammyWinstonJack]

9. And we're suppose to trust these fools with our National Security?

What a joke!

[Solly Mack]

15. Init though? Trust me - I'm here to protect you

Sure you are.

[jimshoes]

10. Wow, they must think

the rest of the world is brain dead. Kinda make your head spin.

[Solly Mack]

16. Every other BS excuse they have works on some of the people

They're used to some people swallowing their poo - so they lie and dare someone to call them on it.

And yes, the head spins and the mind wobbles... :)

11. bush knew it was a matter of time before cheney started shooting

the white house was just happy he chose to start shooting donors, instead of insiders.

what compassion, they were so concerned about whittington's condition that they never thought to make a statement. why do i find it hard to beleive that anyone in the current admin thinks of anything before the PR implications.

[papau]

12. WHAT did the LAWYER know - and when did Cheney find out?

I kind of like that as a headline.

:-)

[rodeodance]

13. i hope this adds to a bad week for the WH!

[wisteria]

17. Suprise, Surprise, they needed some time to get their story straight! n/t

[Roland99]

18. And notice this part of the story re: the injuries >>>>>

Cheney apparently did not see Whittington, and the vice president accidentally hit him in the face, neck and chest with bird shot.

[papau]

20. Interesting spray pattern -

the claimed distance is 30 yards, but how did they get the nice tight face, neck and chest on an unaimed head shot?

[Roland99]

21. I know next to nothing about guns and less about shotgun spray.
