Harry Whittington to make statement at 1:00 PM EST (Live Thread)

[Raebie]

Breaking on Fox.

[Perdogg]

Is he going to announce he died? /sarc

[Michael Goldsberry]

Harry -- "Ouch."

[Coop]

He has filed charges, and a warrant has been issued for Dick Cheney's arrest!

I swear, I heard it from David "Me!Me!ME!!!" Gregory.

[wallcrawlr]

im here

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I hope he tells the White House Press Corps that they're a bunch of idiots.

[Notwithstanding]

I just bet he is going to tell the press what idiots they all are.

[Red Badger]

Will probably announce his support for the Brady bill........

[beyond the sea]

Is he going to announce he died? /sarc

Attorney Whittington is going to tell America that he was shot as the first attempt at tort reform by Dick Cheney.

[fizziwig]

"Harry -- "Ouch."

Rats you beat me to it....:(

[COUNTrecount]

He shot himself. April Fool's day early MSM.

[small voice in the wilderness]

LOL! You've just given the folks at DU a reason to live today!

I hope he's a feisty old codger, who is ready to take names and kick a$$. If he is, I hope Gregory gets to ask the first question.

[Fury]

How do we KNOW it's really Harry Whittington?

Or that someone won't make him read a statement at knifepoint?

Huh? HUH? WELL?

*I am Harry Whittington.

[Willie Green]

Well it's about time...
Sheeeesh... why did he wait so long?
The White House Press Corps is gonna be FURIOUS!!!

[N. Theknow]

He is very lucky he was hunting with Dick Cheney and not in a car, plane, boat or skiing with a Kennedy. Or had evidence on the Clintons.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

The spin from the left will be that he was coerced into making a statement by the White House...etc...blah...

[SE Mom]

This is gonna be good...ping:)

[RatRipper]

Maybe a Mark Twain flair: "Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated."

[zarf]

He's announcing that his new nickname is "Swiss Cheese" Whittington.

[beyond the sea]

Mr. Whittington is going to just explain to America that he was only shot as the first attempt at tort reform by Dick Cheney.

[eyespysomething]

I found a new video clip of Gregory dancing:

Mash here

[Constitution Day]

Send wire... Main office.... tell them I said "OW!"

Gotcha!

[tcostell]

My forecast of his first sentence of his statement:

"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

[beyond the sea]

LOL

[Coop]

I saw something like this on another thread, that cracked me up:

Harry Whittington is to announce that VP Cheney shot him due to faulty intelligence provided by the CIA.

[Petronski]

"Dick Cheney shot and killed me in cold blood, because he's a very bad man. My funeral will be tomorrow."

[jennyjenny]

I have no idea why, but for some reason I imagine him to be the Zell Miller type and he's going to tell the press/libs they're a bunch of morons.

[Republican Red]

Paul Begala on CNN announced he wanted Wittington's blood. Maybe Harry is going to give a blood transfusion live on tv today?

Count Begala


In a classic case of liberal overreach, Paul Begala took criticism of Dick Cheney to a ghoulish level today, calling on President Bush to encourage the hospitals where Harry Whittington was treated to release his blood alcohol level:

BEGALA: The vice president's performance yesterday leaves a whole lot of questions unanswered. First and most importantly, why was he drinking, how much was he drinking and did that affect his ability — his cognitive ability — while he was hunting?
Answers given by Cheney yesterday:

A. To wash down the barbecue.
B. One beer.
C. No.

Given that Begala somehow seems to have missed these answers, one wonders about his cognitive ability sober.

Then Begala goes from dumb to downright creepy, repeatedly calling for Whittington's blood:

BEGALA: Will the president encourage his friend Harry Whittington and the hospitals in Texas that treated him to release the blood alcohol content of Mr. Whittington? That wouldn't be dispositive as to whether Cheney was drunk, but it would certainly be suggestive. [...]

BLITZER: To be fair, to be fair, the vice president, in the interview yesterday, he said that he had a beer over lunch, which was several hours before the incident, which occurred at 5:30 local time, central time in Texas.

BEGALA: That's what he admits to. What I wanna know is, did Mr. Whittington — who presumably did have a blood test taken when he went to the hospital — did he have an elevated alcohol content? We've been told before there was no alcohol whatsoever.

BLITZER: In the police report that came out today, when they questioned Mr. Whittington at first, when they asked him about alcohol, he said there was no alcohol.

BEGALA: A lot of people say that. I'm interested in the blood alcohol content.
Bloooooooood, Harry. The liberals want your blooooooooood!

[doug from upland]

he's going to talk about his new song ---- STAYIN' ALIVE

[dakine]

OUCH!

[RushCrush]

Truth is stranger than the fiction Democrats think is the truth.

[clawrence3]

No, I am Harry Whittington.

[mwl1]

I hope Whittington submits his statement to the Corpus Christi local paper exclusively. Just for effect.

[beyond the sea]

not your best...........

;-)

[Howlin]

Whittington SPEAKS ping!!

[Howlin]

Whittington SPEAKS ping!!

[jennyjenny]

Hahahaha....what a goober head.

[bwteim]

Get the ambulance ready for David Gregory, "metro man" is gonna have a stroke, when Mr. Whittington says it was an accident.

[Raebie]

Damn, and I was going to go shoppping this afternoon.

[Angus MacGregor]

I think he is going to come clean and say that he and Cheney were doing shots of 101 Wild Turkey while dragging a cooler full of beer around the ranch.

Don't be surprised if he also mentions that bong hits and strippers were involved.

That's what Chris Matthews is telling me anyways...

[cripplecreek]

E's pinin for the fiords of Norway E is.

[Howlin]

That's what I'm praying.

And I'm hoping he won't be as nice as Cheney is!

But can you hear the questions:

"Did Vice President Cheney ask you to make this statement because he's in so much trouble? Do you think he should resign? Why didn't you call the White House Clerks Corps?"

[Loyal Buckeye]

Who is Harry Whittington?

[finnman69]

I would love for him to scream "Lawrence O'Donnell is a creepy lying liar!" five time fast.

[Unkosified]

HAHA! That's exactly how I picture him. Hope he gives it to them good!

[eastforker]

OMG lets not get started on Blazing Saddles.

[Peach]

Wow! Excellent. Is this the live thread?

[mwl1]

Statement, not a presser. No way his family or doctors would allow Mr. Whittington to face those jackals.

[clawrence3]

He ALREADY said it was an accident when interviewed by the police.

[Bahbah]

Oh good, and thanks for the ping.
