NYT: Bush Satisfied With Cheney Explanation

That’s odd, I’m not. But would Bush live to tell it if he weren’t satisfied? WMR (The Wayne Madsen Report) is always thought provoking if a little out there. On February 13th, Madsen posted this interesting item: “WMR has learned that this incident is not the first involving Cheney and hunting accidents. According to informed sources on Maryland's Eastern Shore, two years ago Cheney was shooting at ducks from a duck blind in Trappe, a Maryland Eastern shore town where former Secretary of State James Baker III maintains a residence. The sources reveal that Cheney nearly accidentally shot half of his hunting party and Secret Service detail. Eyewitnesses to the Maryland duck hunting incident claim that Cheney is ‘trigger happy’ and a ‘maniac with a gun.’” Heart attack patients are known for being irascible. Cheney is on a medication to lower his cholesterol. If he’s taking a statin-type med like Lipitor, Zocor, or Pravachol, they can cause severe irritability. I wouldn’t want to be within a country mile of Dick Cheney and a water pistol, let alone a shotgun. Dick Cheney was arrested for drunk driving when he was 21. He was arrested again for drunk driving when he was 22. Dick Cheney is on god-only-knows how many medications due to his four heart attacks, angioplasty surgery, defibrillator implant, stent implant, gout, skin cancer and high cholesterol. And yet, Cheney drinks. And apparently he drinks while hunting. And while drinking and hunting he shoots indiscriminately and promiscuously. Is the shooting of Harry Whittington by Dick Cheney going to be forgotten because George Bush says Cheney handled the matter “just fine”? The Harry Whittington shooting has the same chance of disappearing as Spiro Agnew’s tax evasion when Agnew was Nixon’s Vice President. Agnew resigned the Vice Presidency and he was disbarred by the state of Maryland.
