Whittington Leaves Hospital, Clearly Heavily Medicated
Vice President Dick Cheney's victim of last weekend's hunting accident, Harry Whittington, left the hospital today. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Whittington displayed the type of logic that serious painkillers have a way of imparting.
"We all assume certain risks in whatever we do, whatever activities we pursue. And regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are, accidents do and will happen. And that's what happened last Friday." In fact, the hunting mishap occurred late Saturday afternoon.
As any accident investigator will tell you, accidents don't happen--they are caused.
"My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week," Whittington said. "We send our love and respect to them as they deal with situations that are much more serious than what we've had this week.
What happened to Cheney (and his family) that was more serious than getting shot? Maybe the Vice President's office is keeping something big from the public.
