So Evil Dick finally got a heart.

When did Cheney ever go to a school and start shooting people at random?

He did his killing another way

[stopstaaron]

That's OK, because when Dick Cheney finally does die, he will be buried face down with his boots on, so that all his critics can kiss his ass!

That's fine, but the history books will not look kindly on Cheney's legacy

Cheney doesn't give a damn how history books will look at his legacy. He's Dick Cheney....DUH!

I heard he shot a guy right in the face while hunting, a couple of years ago. Musta had an argument or something.

Some only hear and see what they want to hear or see. It's called selective recall.

No, I was right, he did shoot a guy in the face. and without reading any links, I remember the guy almost died a few days later.

Go look it up now, cheese boy.

I provided a link for you. Try reading it. It was a hunting accident.

I didn't dispute your claim it's an accident. So why should I

[American Woman]

I didn't dispute your claim it's an accident. So why should I

Because you said you were "right," even as you had previously insinuated that he did it on purpose because "he must have had an argument or something." So that's why you should. To learn the facts, so you can present it factually (and in that regard, it was six years ago, not "a couple").

I was right that he did shoot someone in the face, but in my second sentence I wrote, "musta had an argument, or something", that was speculative. And it was written in a ways to indicate it WAS speculation, because I said "or something." So I have no problem with it.

But I did go read something else about it just now (not your link), and I learned something else. Apparently Mr. Cheney has never apologized for it. If that's true, that's not very nice, is it?

Yes, it was speculative, indicating that you thought he did it on purpose - which is why I said you insinuated that he had. You didn't speculate that it could have been an accident.

'I, of course, was deeply sorry for what Harry and his family had gone through,' writes Mr Cheney.
'The day of the hunting accident was one of the saddest of my life.'

Actually the funny part about that is ... the guy who got shot, did a PR thing and apologized to everyone from the trauma.

Yeah, but that's what politics does to people. The bad guys walk away, and the good guys get shot in the face.

Whittington says he wasn't aware that the White House initially blamed him for the accident (McClellan told reporters that Whittington failed to follow hunting "protocol" and announce his presence to Cheney). But he's not bothered to hear of it now. "Naturally, people want to make it appear that it's someone's fault," he shrugs. "I didn't care.

He acknowledged that his "apology" statement upon his release from the hospital could have confused the issue by suggesting he was admitting fault. "It really wasn't that," he says. "I didn't intend it that way. It was more of a sense of disappointment that it happened at all. I'm sure it must have been difficult for Mr. Cheney and his family. I still feel the same way."

But did Cheney ever say in private what he didn't say in public? Did he ever apologize?

Whittington, who has been talking about his life and career for hours, suddenly draws silent. Harry Whittington is too gracious to say it out loud, but he doesn't dispute the notion, either.

Nearly five years on, he's still waiting for Dick Cheney to say he's sorry.

That was written in 2010. So maybe Dick has decided to apologize to the man he shot since then? Or did he just put it in his memoirs or something. Because if he just wrote it in his book or says it in a TV interview, but not to the person he hurt, that ain't right.
