Cheney Speaks!

…to Fox News. Yeah, he’ll get the grilling he deserves. :rolleyes:

Not so fast, there!

It’s actually pretty slick from a PR standpoint. But I think it would have been better to book him as a guest host on Saturday Night Live and then do skits poking fun at himself. Afterwards we’d all love him and could forget about the whole ugly incident over a mug of hot cocoa.

I like Brit Hume’s response to a reporter about the reason Fox got the exclusive interview is because Fox is seen as a conservative leaning network.

Brit said he thought it was because Cheney wanted to be on the cable news network with the biggest audience. :wink:

What’s all this speculation about the attorney dying? Everything I’ve heard is that he’s doing fine and should be out in about a week.

Probably because he’s seventy-eight and had a heart attack when the birdshot traveled into his heart. He’s no spring chicken and even though it’s a mild one, it could still be deadly, I suspect.

From what NPR was reporting today, you suspect right. :slight_smile:

They won’t risk removing the bird shot near/in his heart and the risk of infection and complications does exist.

It’s called a “silent heart attack,” surgery is not warranted, and he has no blocked arteries.

The term “Silent Heart Attack” made me smile…

I’m sure there was Nothing “Silent” about the occasion. :eek:

BOOM! “Dang…you Shot Him…”
