The vice president shot somebody?

Ok what's the deal? Am I to believe that the second in command in the Bush administration actually shot a 78 year old man in a hunting accident? Is that really what i'm suppose to believe? That's crazy. As I'm writing to you, I'm checking out an article on NBC about the whole deal. It's really a bizzare scenario. Here we have the Vice President of the United States and his lawyer buddy out on a little friendly hunt in the middle of the afternoon on Saturday. In addition to these two shotgun wielding dudes, there's a full medical staff (let's call them the heart attack squad: Cheney's First, Last and only line of defense against the worst scum of the arteries.) I'm sure there were some secret service dudes. According to Cheney via the Associated Press, there was no "press person." This is why the American people heard nothing of this story until almost a full day after it took place. Where would this country be without our "press people?"

So anyway, the pellets (our projectile of choice) are about 1/10 of an inch in diameter. The victim,. harry Whittington took one to the face, one to the neck and one to the chest more specificially, his atria (the top half of the heart) The latter caused whittington to have a silent heart attack. BIZZARE! It's one of those things where if you're Cheney you go to the hospital and sit there with your boy and say, "Man, one day we're going to look back on this and Laaaauuugh... " (at which point you have to offer that cheezy innocent smile. )

I don't know about the rest of the citizens of this nation but our current administration seems a little gun happy, accidents and not so accidents taken into acount. Frankly it freaks me out a little bit. In addition to that, and of course all of the late night talk show hosts having a field day with this material (no writer could ever conjure up something this good), what does this incident say to the rest of the world? The world stage is dressed up and on TV for the olympics so the international media seems more acute and sensitive to international events than any given february. And there's Dick having a Biathalon of his own in Corpus Christi. That my friends, is jacked up. I know i don't talk about politics a lot as a matter of policy but this was just too freaky to go unmentioned. Thanks for reading.
