Say what you want about dick cheney

[Yeager]

Harry Whittington, the guy who Cheney accidently plugged with bird shot, was a most gracious and kind hearted gentleman, considering he was seriously wounded, as evidenced by the close up photos.

Harry hit the ground hard, which suggests his body went into immediate shock from a substantial injury event.

Texans should be proud of this guy, and Cheney, very greatful.

Harrys statement:
=============
Good Afternoon.

All of you in the media have been very patient in waiting for me to make my appearance here.  I hope you understand.  I’m sorry I delayed you, but I know your role is to get the news out to the public. I compliment you on what you’ve done.  I’ve read and seen many of your reports and I know your job isn’t easy.  I regret that I couldn’t have been here earlier so you could see what a lucky person I am.

For many years my family has been friends with the Armstrongs down in Kenedy County.  We have visited with them for over 25 years and have had some wonderful trips and visits – pleasant memories that we cherish forever.  However, this past weekend encompassed all of us in a cloud of misfortune and sadness that is not easy to explain – especially to those who are not familiar with the great sport of quail hunting.

We all assume certain risks in whatever we do, whatever activities we pursue.  And regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are, accidents do and will happen – and that’s what happened last Friday.

I am very grateful and want to thank all the people that remembered me in their prayers and the kindness you have extend to my family that’s been here this week.

My family and I are deeply sorry for all that vice president Cheney has had to go through this past week. We send our love and respect to them as they deal with situations that are much more serious than what we’ve had this week.  And we hope that he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation that he deserves.

I also thank all of you for understanding the best you can that medical attention was very important to someone my age.  And you haven’t failed to give my age.

Finally, I want to say there’re simply not adequate words to express my gratitude and appreciation to the very talented physicians,  medical staff, nurses, of this great Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital system, here in Corpus Christi and in Kingsville.  They’ve given me exceptional treatment, care and compassion for which I’m very grateful. They are truly remarkable servants of God and I’m extremely blessed for all they’ve done.

Thank you.

Ok, he's an unmitigated arrogant ass, a corporate puppet operating outside the law and beyond the scope of his office to advance an agenda that does not include the best intrests of the citizens of our nation.

And thanks for the invitation.

[Yeager]

thanks hangtime, Welcome to the mainstream  

Cheney is doing a fine job as point man for an administration that doesnt take orders from the United Nations, in my simplistic opinion.  

PS: Whenever I am in the "mainstream" I know Im ****ed up

I love you bro, regardless

very well put.  sums him up well.

Whittington, OTOH is a very gracious and understanding man.  were I in his position I'd strive hard for a quick recovery, while looking forward to the day when I had regained enough strength to shove that shotgun up Chaney's ass.

[Yeager]

your from portland oregon, the lord will forgive you.  Hopefully

"Cheney is doing a fine job as point man for an administration that doesnt take orders from the United Nations, in my simplistic opinion. "

Lol... what?

If your blinders are so maladjusted as to bring up the UN as your one and only contention when discussing Cheney, then.... well crap, I dunno.

I marvel at the world you are living in. Not a diss.... a fascination.

[Yeager]

**** nash, like you really think what you believe matters to anyone besides yourself???  Welcome to democracy.......

I like Cheney simply because people like you, and people associated with AlGore "and hangtime" despise Cheney.  What better reason to support someone you dont know........algore is a hugahunk of profound proportions...even cheney would pale in comparrison to algore, in my opinion.

No offense bro, cause I have no doubt that you are a decent human being.

Maybe sometime we can meet up and drink a good beer and defeat canadian communism together.  I believe we are seperated by less than 200 miles, you know......depending on whether you are on the canadian east coast or west coast. of course........

[dmf]

My question is >>>> Was the guy he shot a Democrat?

[Nash]

Yeager...

I'll have a beer with you, fer sure!

But don't try and get all studmuffingy on me. Gore would SMOKE Cheney in a debate.

I'll dig up a Gore speech, you dig up a Cheney speech... we'll have a loving picnic repleat with a wicker basket full of fruit, a blanket, little sandwiches, and a large bottle of soda water.... then we'll whip out our video Ipods and watch Gore manhandling shooter Cheney as if the VP were some kind of ideological linguistic gimp wholey unfit for the office he serves.

But Yeager.... our love won't, CAN'T last.

Society isn't ready for it.

[Hangtime]

I don't 'despise' the guy... I despise the 'government for the corporations, by the corporations and of the corporations' he and his cronies represent.

Yeag, the guy makes decisons based on business interests. Not human interests. There's young men and women dead, more dying every day to protect corporate profits that are his vested interest. When did our military become the security force for business interests of Haliburton and the Oil corporations?

Yer worried about the UN? Man; pick up a newspaper.. the UN ain't the problem, our lying, decietful, secretive administration and it's venue of profits is the problem.

This is not the way it's supposed to be, is it? Secret meetings with the oil corporation CEO's, then an invasion; then record oil profits?

Slam Dunk, there's WMD; my ass!

Speeches and debates don't make a leader any more than witty remarks, snappy comebacks or elegant prose substantiate a bbs argument on the intardnet.

If I want to be entertained, awed or inspired I don't turn on C-SPAN. Some people do. Some people also cast votes because they "like" a certain politician more than another.

[Nash]

Wicked.

Wicked way of saying nothing.
