the presence of VP Cheney's medical staff meant that Mr Whittington got help immediately. He is 78 years old - must have been a bit of a shock.
Having said that.....HANDS OFF MR CHENEY... it was an accident!
Yes, I pointed out to a left-leaning colleague, who was teasing me this morning about Mr. Cheney's little mishap, that if you're going to get shot in a hunting accident, you can't do much better than be in Mr. Cheney's company. Given the combination of being VP and having a history of heart attacks, I expect that Mr. Cheney is followed around by an absolutely top-notch medical team.
