Exactly, and as Taranto points out, this speculation and wishful thinking is prevelant not just at the far left websites, but in the MSM as well. They are not reporting news, but their wishful thinking, "IF" Whittington should die, then "...." will happen to Cheney.

President Bush could pardon Cheney(?) and we would have a new VP. Hopefully one that we like and would run for President in '08.

Why should anything happen to Cheney? Clinton raped and assaulted numerous women. Nothing happened to him. In fact NOW (National Orginization for Women) backed Clinton.

Paula Jones was accused of numerous things, from lying, to extortion, to being a right wing attacker. If Whittington dies will the media claim that he really didn't die, or come up with some other excuse to cover Cheney?

I hope they put a strong Secret Service contingent around Whittington, I'd hate him to get the same disease Vince Foster and Ron Brown got.

I find it sickening that the MSM is about to go into paroxysms of joy at the thought that this fellow dies so can they can try to pin it on the VP.

As Rush likes to say, the Left gets wackier when they are out of power.

I think this whole media furor has resulted because the "journalists" feelings were hurt. Yup, they were left out of the loop! (Sarcasm) Why, my God, there just HAS to be something criminal here!!!

Newsflash. Journalists are not elected, I as a taxpayer do not pay their salaries (fortunate for them!). They are not, formally, part of our government, therefore are not/should not be considered on a "first to know" basis. Their behavior has only confirmed their politicized agenda and their misplaced sense of their personal importance.

We should be giving them the same argument they gave us for the Clinton/Lewinski dust-up. "What the VP does on his personal time is his personal business, particularly since Cheney has not perjured himself in a Court of Law."

I sincerely hope the Whittington family has invested in Armed Sentries and food tasters, lots of Democrats want Ol Harry dead.

Think about this. Thousands (millions?) of our friends, family, neighbors and co workers are totally unhinged. I believe at this moment there are millions of Americans hoping poor Mr. Whittington dies.

So far the loons have speculated Cheney was drunk. Cheney wanted to off Whittington for some perceived gain through Haliburton. One columnist believes Cheney shot Whittington in order to frighten Scooter Libby from testifying. Then, the latest, says Cheney was having an affair with another member of the hunting Party and was afraid Whittington would inform Lynne.

The Kossacks must realize how this all looks. However, Bush Derangement Syndrome" has them in its grip. They are delusional. Can't help themselves.

In many ways I find this rather entertaining. But, then again, these nuts can't even come up with a good script for "Murder She Wrote."

What if Whittington were to die...

The MSM looks at Cheney from the vantage of his executive duties, which, unless W dies, for most of our history have been a standing joke. There's been, at most, one VP at a time; a number small enough for the MSM to grasp. Yet Cheney has other constitutional duties, legislative ones more often used and not historically laughable. He's President of the Senate, a body with up to 101 members that sometimes vote. Such a large body has created much more historical precedent. Now the MSM may not recall, but I suspect many Freepers can recall roughly when a member of that body last (allegedly accidentally) killed someone. They may even recall the specific Senator and the severe consequences to the nation that followed the tragic event.

He served 37 years, and counting, more in the Senate.
Perhaps the MSM wants to honor precedent and make Cheney VP for life...

Well, prolly Whittington will go on Fox in a few weeks and say that he's really sorry to disappoint all the people who hoped he would die.
