This is not really anything you have not heard before...but the headline was too much to pass up. The sensationalism is amazing.

He had a heart "incident," not necessarily a heart attack.

If he were to die, is there still the remote possibility that Cheney could be charged with manslaughter?

The funny thing is this guy is a Republican contributor and a friend of Mr. Evil himself. If he hadn't been shot by Cheney, and happened to make in the news somehow else, he would be villified.

God works in mysterious ways. He was in the hospital when he had the heart attack, no better place.

So, Cheney saved this man's life? ;)

No more jokes on Leno?


I'm sure this won't deter Letterman, though.

Local birdcage liner here had a picture of Cheney receiving a rifle from the N.R.A. I honestly can't believe how dumb the media elites believe people to be. The truth of it is, the only ones who buy into the propaganda and spin are the useful idiots themselves.

So the headline should read something like "Hospitilization for Gunshot Wound Saves Man's Life."

Wow, he administeered a life-saving injection!

Funny how the media misrepresented that.
