That (I am not making this up) was the Houston Chronicle's headline yesterday. The guy gets shot in the face, followed by six days of hospital recovery, including a "mild" heart attack.
"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 had this week."
Dude, you got SHOT IN THE FACE!
If Whittington had wanted to be tactful, and help a friend out, he could've said "let's put this behind us," or "it was a accident, everything's back to normal now," instead of being an example of just how sickeningly things skew toward the powerful.
This shit makes me want to vomit.
