going to peak at Kos. brb

[prairiebreeze]

Sitting on my hands here Howlin. No way will the press let this go right away.

[Peach]

Lynn and Dick Cheney gave a huge gift; I missed the details. But they are thanking him for it.

[Carolinamom]

Probable press spin on Cheney's addressing the Wyoming legislature: He only speaks before a friendly crowd.

[SF Republican]

Dont'cha love that Texas accent I am a Texan and my French wife basically understands everything I say (that she wants to) but get her in Dallas and she can't understand a single word of half my family.

[ohioWfan]

Yep. I'll go with that theory.

btw, whoever said the bruising on his face was 'significant' must have never seen real bruising.

And when you factor in his age, and the tendency to bruise more when you're older, he looks remarkably good.

[toldyou]

LOL! Excellent one!

[RushCrush]

2nd standing O!

[Howlin]

My first thought; he looks worn.

I still think the reason they waited so long was because HE couldn't come out and talk because he was so upset.

Is that Hitlery?

2.6 million dollar trust fund set up for the Unv. of Wyoming by Lynn and Dick Cheney

[STARWISE]

There's really nothing like the patina of a true Southern gentleman .. and this man is a classic southern gem. God bless him with continued healing, and the Vice President with peace and healing over this.

VP is up now in Wyoming .. someone announcing $2.7M (?) gift to the university from the Cheneys.

[Petronski]

Bill Clinton would have given $2.7 Million to his favorite college, but he spent it all on jug wine and whores.

[Howlin]

Nope.

[prairiebreeze]

Byron York has the British accent? he was saying some fairly tinfoil stuff...yes, maybe CYA

[Peach]

Cheney: Thank you for that welcome home. It's a wonderful experience to be greeted with warm by the leaders of this great state. Especially after a long week. Thankfully Harry Whittington is on the mend and doing very well.

I see many friends in the chamber this morning. It's a pleasure to be in your company today and I bring good wishes from your president, George W. Bush.

[Jrabbit]

Univ. of Wyoming....$2 million dollars...I think

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Doctor via phone with Foxnews Channel said that slight darkening on the right side of his face would likely clear up in a week or so!

Then commented that a lot of people down in south Texas were walking around with various pieces of lead in their bodies from hunting accidents like this one....no big deal!!!

[McGruff]

This is outrageous! All this talk about Whittington, what about the poor quail? Has anyone bothered to check on him?

[AliVeritas]

Someones head at the ACLU just exploded after that:
