I think what pisses me off the most is that NOBODY in the lamestream media seems to give a damn about the tremendous guilt that Cheney must be dealing with. Thank you for saying that!! You know the kind of man the VP is and this must have hurt him deeply. There are some in the msm and here who are taking the opportunity to fantasize about being superior to the 2nd most powerful man in the world because of this accident....like they are know-it-alls. The guy was in brush and high weeds according to eyewitness Mrs. Armstrong.

Did you get the freepmail I sent you? It made it quite clear she left her position for the VP in 2002, as I recall from my quick scan of it.
I'll tell you what. It's incumbent on you to show me that she's still on staff, because a simple google of her name shows me she left the WH and VP's office a few years ago.

I just turned it on now and see some idiot (Maher?) saying that everyone has blamed the victim. I've yet to see anyone blame the victim.

I've yet to see "his people" claim that Whittington was at fault.

Ah, so the simple fact of being shot on the right side is how you conclude his position was on the left.
I guess when Armstrong and Willeford say he was to the right, they don't know what they saw with their own eyes.

Yeppers, that's why they call them accidents and not on-purposes.

It is not incumbent upon me to show she is "on staff" - I don't know that she is "on staff" and didn't say that she was "on staff." I said she was an "advisor" and/or "counselor" to the VP, which is how she is described all over the place, including by SH three weeks ago.
You may believe that everyone who is an "advisor" or "counselor" to the WH or anyone in in must be "on staff", but I think you know better.

I would love to hear a press conference where Cheney says "This morning while trying to hit the snooze button on my alarm clock I accidently hit the wrong button and nuked Iran. I thought you would like to be made aware of this regrettable accident".
To: Peach
Matalin said that the VP did nothing wrong. McClellan said that it happened because Whittington violated protocal.
Are these just rogues, in your opinion?

Show me that she's still an advisor. (Typically advisors are paid and thus considered on staff, at least by those who cut the checks, but I won't quibble).

I'm just going along here reading the thread and from an objective viewpoint lugsoul, you seem obsessed. Why not go take a walk? Clear your head out. A hundred years from now on a dark and stormy night in Georgia - who's gonna give a da*n?

ROFL!
I do think we could bomb North Korea AND Iran and the press wouldn't notice until maybe Friday.

I guess when Armstrong and Willeford say he was to the right, they don't know what they saw with their own eyes.I quoted from a CNN article source. Please provide your source to prove otherwise.

To: lugsoul
Matalin no longer has any function for the VP, as a simple google search reflects.
McClellan - I'd have to see his statement in context. If he was trying to lay the blame on Whittington, that's wrong. If he was trying to explain to a hostile press what happened and Whittington violated protocol in some way, then his comment has a little more context. It doesn't mean to me that it means Cheney is the victim or innocent here. Whoever holds the gun has the responsibility and I think nearly everyone with a brain in their head understands that.

This whole thing is absurd... The press conference yesterday was obscene. "Should the VP resign?" References to this as the "first vice presidential shooting since Aaron Burr...." Geez. As soon as this was announced, the media's Vapid Response Team (should I copyright that????) kicked into high gear. ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the White House press briefing on Monday: "The protocol was not followed by Mr. Whittington, when it came to notifying the others that he was there."

Someone on FNC just e-mailed in to John Gibbons and said what Whittington should have done is yell "I've been shot. Call a reporter." LOL

To: lugsoul
Actually, you made the accusation that Whittington (get the name right, at least) was
behind Cheney, so it is incumbent upon you to demostrate that this was the case.
You can be a liar. You can be an a-hole. But please refrain from being both simultaneously.
To: lugsoul
It IS protocol to announce if you've moved out of position. Does that mean that McClellan was blaming Whittington?
The press was rabid yesterday and wanted every single detail. If that was one of the details, I don't understand why you object to his comment.
