The vice president's office just released the following statement:
"The Vice President was told when he arrived at the White House this morning that doctors had decided, based on overnight monitoring, to perform a cardiac catheterization on Mr. Whittington.
The Vice President's chief of staff passed him a note at about 12:30pm ET to inform him that Mr. Whittington's doctors would brief in Texas about 1:00pm ET on complications in Mr. Whittington's condition. The Vice President was on Capitol Hill when he received this information.
When the Vice President returned to the White House, he was able to watch part of the press conference. At about 1:30pm ET, the Vice President called Mr. Whittington and spoke to him. The Vice President wished Mr. Whittington well and asked if there was anything he needed. The Vice President said that he stood ready to assist. Mr. Whittington's spirits were good, but obviously his situation deserves the careful monitoring that his doctors are providing.
The Vice President said that his thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Whittington and his family."
Prayers up for Mr. Whittington and his family and for VP Cheney.
.......
Prayers from TX
Prayers up for all of them.
Ditto.
Until Mr Whittington is out of the woods, so to speak, VP Cheney will keep a low profile. Anything he says will be held against him in the court of main stream media.
No matter what happens the left wing gun nuts have grabbed on to this to try for more gun control....
Cheney passed him a note at 12:30 and we're JUST NOW HEARING ABOUT IT!!!! Why the delay?? What are they covering up??? [/MSM]
bttt

At 08:18:05 ET, The Vice President phoned David Gregory of NBC and apprised him of the details.
The Vice President's chief of staff passed him a note at 12:30:12 ET to inform him that Mr. Whittington's doctors would brief in Texas about 13:01:45 ET on complications in Mr. Whittington's condition. The Vice President was on Capitol Hill when he received this information.

this incident is interesting on so many levels. The lawyer who will probably turn his back on a lifetime of finding victims and publicly say it wasn't anyone's fault. That would be ...rich.
Somebody ping David Gregory and Antonio Villaraigosa.
Wisconsin adds its prayers.
"No matter what happens the left wing gun nuts have grabbed on to this to try for more gun control...."

Not the MSM.
Uh, people forget that for every lawyer bringing a lawsuit for a "victim", there is a lawyer defending the other side of the case. They're not all "ambulance chasers."
No silly, just Mr. Whittington and his family and for VP Cheney and Lynne. Those morons in the media just don't get anything.
