Jump To Comment: 5 4 3 2 1I would apologise as well because if you are'nt with them you are against them. He may be 78 but the victim knew when Bush and Rumsfeld stridently confirmed that Guantanamo is staying open that a heart attack , pellet pocked head and ridiculous apology was a better option than the dreaded orange suit.
This millionaire is the guy who gave Karl Rove investment money years back to start his political consultancy biz - Cheney shot him in the face - whoops.
Now he apologises?!
hmmm something tells me there's more to this story.
the official story is so rediculous that even CNN mocks it with their website headline...
Thank You Godfather - Thank you for sparing my life and not Whacking me...
is, if you fire birdshot from 30 yards, can the bullets go through protective hunter clothing, skin, past bones, and enter the heart of a 78 year old man.
I know nothing of these matters. But if the answer is yes - then all is well and Cheney merely fucked up.
if the above is not true - then someone is lying - Cheney of course.
notice NO ONE from the scene has spoken to the media yet who actually witnessed the shooting.
Just because you are 78 does'nt mean you can fuck with Cheney. He does'nt take any shit in Iraq and he ain t gonna take it in his own back yard. Maybe Dick will post a picture of his victims wounds in exchange for porn just like the good ol US Marine Corp in Iraq. If Dick is going to act like the US Marines in Iraq hopefully his bodyguards will not let the mad bastard near any Muslim weddings or childrens parties.
