“SORRY FOR ALL THE BOTHER” ——— by Steve Nadis
Released from the hospital and calling himself a “very lucky man,” Harry Whittington took his turn before the media on Friday, apologizing for all the trouble he’d caused Dick Cheney by getting between a quail and Cheney’s gun and–as a result of his ineptitude–getting “peppered” with birdshot. “I’m deeply sorry for all that the vice president and his family has had to go through this week,” Whittington told the press corps. He wished Cheney a speedy recovery from all the stress he has been subjected to on account of his [Whittington's] exceptionally poor judgment about when to retrieve the fowl he felled.
By all accounts, Whittington is an uncommonly understanding individual–almost heroic in his efforts to defend his friend’s faulty aim. If you had to pepper somebody in a hunting accident–and I’m sure not recommending it, seeing as I’m not even a hunter–you probably couldn’t pick a better person.

Whittington sounds like a good friend.
Who needs enemies when you can shoot your friends AND make excuses for your lousy aiming?
p.s. I see we’ve regressed, but I’m not complaining.
You’re my main source of Cheney-Whittington-where’s my quail saga and withdrawal symptoms we’re starting to overtake me.
Cheney couldn’t even pull off a good hunting accident. Looks like he botched that one good.
I don’t think it matters one whit about how long it took to report it.
The media was on it anyway.
…Maybe it wasn’t a hunting accident… Maybe he was trying to assist a suicide. Isn’t there a law against that? I think they call it the Kevorkian law?

I think it’s a little late for Mr. Whittington’s lame apologies. Why didn’t he say something on Saturday, and don’t give me that old ” I was unconscious because the Vice President of the United States shot me’ excuse! He can be as sorry as he wants, but it’s not going to bring back Cheney’s quail is it?
I think Chaney was eading some “Shakespeare” before he went hunting: (Paraphrased) “KIll all the lawyers.”
Thanks; you’ve all given me a lot to think about.
I’m sorry…I am howling with laughter at Dr. Max’s comment. There’s just no topping that one.
He’s always hard to beat. So maybe it’s better to join him?
You are very very professional.I dream i could do such a great job as you do.
