Do you find it odd that 2 men are out hunting with 2 women that are not their wives? Maybe this is the reason for the WH cover up?

The four in the hunting party were: Cheney, Whittington, the divorced Katharine Armstrong and as Raw Story wrote earlier, Pamela Willeford, the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland.

Before you say it's sleazy to ask this, think about what the press would be reporting if it were John Kerry instead of Dick Cheney.

    I find a lot to be odd about this incident ...the 18-hour gap before it was reported; that the sheriff wasn't allowed near Cheney; the under-reported fact that this victim was and still is in intensive care; and that the hunting party consisted of two men and two women, some married but none married to each other. Like I said before: Chappaquiddick.

    It'd make a heckuva Viagra ad.

    Cheney with a woman? He must be suicidal.

    The latest rumor is that Whittington was actually shot on purpose by Pamela Willeford's cuckold husband. Cheney's trying to help out some buddies by copping to it. You heard it here first.

    [deleted] I would have used 00 Buckshot or a rifled slug instead of birdshot. Rove had just left a little earlier after delivering some homeless people for the second round of hunting. That should cover the conspiracies. Kerry was invited to participate, but he had missplaced his camo hunting gear after his pre-election goose hunt in Ohio.

    Deborah White, What, I guy can't go out hunting with gals who he isn't married to? What ever did happened to the Enlightened Women's Movement? Until Cheney drowns an innocent young woman by driving off from a bridge and doesn't report it until the next day the Chappiquiddick analogy is rather lame and again reminds everyone what a nasty piece of work Ted Kennedy is. That is unless we find out that Cheney and Whittington were illict lovers and Cheney attempted to kill Mr Whittington to silence him. Sheesh.

    Let's see, activities I regularly engage in almost exclusively absent my spouse, and almost exclusively in groups consisting of other men and women who are also often absent their spouses/significant others: Running. Golfing. Skiing. SCUBA diving. Sailing. Surfing. Business events.

    I'd like very much for Cheney to get whatever people usually get for accidently almost killing someone and for hunting like someone who thought he was acting out a Bugs Bunny cartoon--jail time, civil charges, opprobium of the hunting community, etc., instead of being given a pass, which is what you can bet he'll get. That said, if you're suggesting that Wittington (age 78) and Cheney (who's only about 65 but y'know, a decent erection would make him faint) are fooling around (especially outdoors instead of a nice comfy bed) . . . uh, no.

    I would personaly like to hear that Cheney was having some physical contact and sex. Could only do him a bit of good and make for a safer leader. My guess is that he has not been touched by anyone in years and is all the more nastier for it.

    Sex is not the only "thing" in couples pairing off and, I must say, this possibility was one of the first things that struck my mind. Not that there's anything wrong with it, in a feminist way, but who knows? You know, the rich and powerful play by far different rules than the rest of us.

    Molly in NYC, Using your barometer for punishment for an acccidental shooting Dick Cheney should be twice nominated by the Democratic party for the presidency. Afterall Adelae Stevenson(sp?) shot and killed a young woman at a party when he was a teenager and twice ran against Eisenhower on the Democratic ticket(and lost). Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne(and lost, the nomination that is). John Kerry chased down a young Viet Cong soldier and killed him (and lost). Oh wait to be a Democratic contender you must kill someone and not just wound them. I guess Cheney could never be a contender for the Dems because he only wounded someone (and won, twice). just saying....

    Once again, Sailor's Law goes into effect: How many wingnut responses before 'clinton did it' or 'teddy did it' come into play.

    jimcee: Using your barometer for punishment for an acccidental shooting Dick Cheney should be twice nominated by the Democratic party for the presidency... Stevenson... Kennedy... Kerry... Well, if you want to get down and gruesome about it, he could be a GOP first lady- "Report: Laura Bush in 1963 Car Wreck"
    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - At 17, Laura Bush ran a stop sign and crashed into another car, killing her boyfriend who was driving it, according to an accident report released to The Associated Press on Wednesday.

    This is the thing that never ceases to surprise me about the wingers who regularly contribute comments here. I can understand people writing comments favoring the Administration -- somebody's got to like them --, but damage control? What's that all about?

    Jimcee: Not having any political beliefs except Republican talking points--is that like being high all the time?

    Molly in NYC, Not being a Republican I can't speak for them but on occasion I do get high. Sailor, Hey I'm just saying but you have got to admit Cheney wounded someone after he was elected whereas Stevenson was nominated twice after he killed someone. I'll skip the other reference if you'll respond to the Stevenson point. Al, There is no damage control here I'm just saying that people with worse records in regards to guns have run for the presidency and that they just happened to be part of the Democratic heirarchy in the past. Heck prior to and after the Civil War most pro-Jim Crow politicians were Democrats. Go figure. Lester Maddox anyone? Of course I'm being absurd, truthful but absurd just the same. Et al, Yeah Dick Cheney shot someone by accident and that effects the nation how exactly? Is silly invective the best that you can do in response? Wingnut? How original. Admit it you really think that all people that disagree with you put puppies in blenders, want to own slaves, are rich and bathe in the blood of poor babies to keep themselves young. Perhaps I'm not being so absurd afterall.....
