LOL! In fact, I laughed so hard I almost hurt myself!
He said the pellets would not be removed, but added it is normal to closely observe a patient with multiple gunshot wounds.
Cheney screwed up. No arguing around it.
I am surprised, though, that his Secret Service guys didn't warn him. I would think they would keep track of where other hunters with guns were
LOL!!
Having listened to the MSM go off about this all day, I do have one question that I don't believe has been addressed as yet. I'm not a hunter, yet understand that accidents can and do occur, and that the gentleman who was shot violated some basic rules as to his position. However, that explanation would be valid if a group of friends was out hunting. Cheney is the VP..and one assumes, and hopes, that he was accompanied in the field by the usual security detail. It seems therefore a litle peculiar that the individual was able to get out of position by himself, without it NOT be noted by any of the security detail. I understand that he had a weapon with him, and while having undergone rigid screening, I don't think it is normal practice to have an armed individual proximate to the VP without someone noting his position..Is this somehow a breakdown in USSS procedures? Comments?
That was "History of the World, Part One."
