"tonight the Vice President is standing by his decision to shoot Harry Whittington. Now according to the best intelligence available, there were quail hidden in the brush. Everyone believed at the time-there-were-quail in the brush. And while the quail turned out to be the 78 year old man. Even knowing that today, Mr. Cheney insists-he still would have shot Mr. Whittington in the face."

Whittington Discharged from Hospital
Associated Press
(02/17/06 -- CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS) - Harry Whittington, the man who was accidently shot by Vice President Cheney, says he's a "lucky person."
Whittington is being discharged from a Texas hospital today. He spoke to reporters outside.
He said, "Accidents do and will happen." And he says that's what happened last week.
Whittington says the event brought a "cloud of misfortune and sadness." He says he's sorry for what Cheney and his family has gone through. And he said he sends them his love and respect "as they deal with situations much more serious than what we have had this week."
Doctors say Whittington is in "excellent health" and "good spirits."
I colleted all the joeks from the night after well, not the night after, but that Monday. Daily Show, Letterman, Leno, Ferguson, hell, even Kimmel had a funny line or two.
the funniest thing, though, was when Whittington, unfathomably, apologized to cheney for the trouble he causes cheney! What the hell? Why does the guy who was shot apologize for the trouble of the guy who shot him?
the secret service destroyed records of cheney's blood work from the investigation. no question, he was drunk.
