CORPUS CHRISTI — The Austin attorney shot by Vice President Dick Cheney suffered a minor heart attack early this morning when a single birdshot pellet migrated into the organ and caused an irregular beat, doctors said today.

Was Burr in legal troouble when Hamilton died?
Prayers for Mr. Whittington and his family.
I hope the stress of this doesn't cause Cheney to have one too.....
Burr had to flee NY I think (with good reason). Let me get a history link.
That doesn't follow and it isn't true. Speak for yourself.
Absolutely correct.
Yes, it is very bad timing to suggest that.
It's not "amazing" to me .. it just par for the course with these people. They hate Cheney and they will do whatever they can to disparage his name.
These HATERS are really sick people!
Thanks.
Couldn't he still be charged with some type of manslaughter? Unintentional? I think in GA he could, but I pinged someone else to this who may know. Or maybe that's just if it happens in the act of a crime?
Heck I don't know, but it may be up to the D.A. if any charges could be files.
The family could file a civil suit probably.

Now we might call Gore a buffoon, an idiot, and a scoundrel, but we wouldn't call for his arrest and imprisonment. Wait, we call him those things anyway.
Although he was a wanted man, Burr nonetheless enjoyed immunity from prosecution in Washington, D.C. There, he presided over the impeachment trial of Samuel Chase, an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Burr set a remarkable standard for decorum and fairness during the trial, in which Chase was acquitted. This would not be the last time Burr appeared in a highly publicized federal trial. The next time he would be the defendant in a trial for treason.
I think you are right. But the argument would switch to the fact that the dems are supposed to be anti-guns and don't shoot the helpless (delicious) quail.
And your dog is not cuter than mine. No way.
algore wouldn't be hunting (it's not good for the environment) and even if he were he wouldn't know what to do with the gun. Therefore, if he were to shoot someone, it wouldn't be a hunting accident.
If it helps, I was suggesting replacing Cheney weeks ago for the same reason of grooming a GOP candidate for 2008.
What's done is done though, and unfortunately, this course of events will change the VP situation in any case.
I love the "victim"! Raise your hand if you have reached the "heard enuf" point! The media clomps on to something and just runs it right into the ground. E-N-O-U-G-H!

Yes. There were murder indictments handed down in both New York and New Jersey. States were trying very hard to put an end to dueling, which had been legally discouraged but were still part of the "code of honor" at the time. Both indictments were eventually quashed, but Burr fled to the South and lay low for some time, first.
I know lots of democrats that hunt and shoot.
