One Thing After Another

I'm sure this thing is harder on Harry Whittington, than it is anyone else. If we relied on him complaining, there wouldn't be a story. The only thing I have heard him say is," it's not such a big deal". Look around at the way your friends are reacting to this. It could be a prelude to the future. You might not trust them anymore. If an accident happened, they would probably want to file a lawsuit. They would probably seek legal action if possible. It's kind of like giving someone a ride. And have them sue your insurance, if you have a fender bender. If the situation warrants it, that's what insurance is for. To pay for the medical bills incurred. That wouldn't be a problem here. There was medical personel, at the the scene of the accident. The main concern here, was to expedite treatment.

Many would say this is indicative, of this administration. They took over twenty-four hours, to report the incident. I agree with that assesment, but for different reasons. I think Murphys law, is definitely in effect. What can go wrong, will go wrong. When it comes to this administration. It couldn't happen at a time that would be better. The wolves would jump on this whenever. If this wasn't someone that gave them something to use against Vice President Cheney. Would we even know who Mr. Whittington was? I just wish Mr. Whittington a speedy recovery. I respect the way he has handled the situation. In the grand scheme of things. Sooner or later,this too will pass.

  1. Man Shot by Cheney Back in Intensive Care
    Whittington Suffers 'Silent Heart Attack' From Pellet
    By LYNN BREZOSKY and NEDRA PICKLER, AP

    CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (Feb. 14) - The 78-year-old lawyer wounded by Vice President Dick Cheney in a hunting accident suffered a mild heart attack Tuesday after a shotgun pellet in his chest traveled to his heart, hospital officials said.

    Harry Whittington was immediately moved back to an intensive care unit and will be watched for a week to make sure more of the metal pellets do not move to other vital organs. He was reported in stable condition.

    Whittington suffered a "silent heart attack" - obstructed blood flow, but without the classic heart-attack symptoms of pain and pressure, according to doctors at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial.

    The doctors said they decided to treat the situation conservatively and leave the pellet alone rather than operate to remove it. They said they are highly optimistic Whittington will recover and live a healthy life with the pellet left in place.

    Asked whether the pellet could move farther into his heart and become fatal, hospital officials said that was a hypothetical question they could not answer.
