a/k/a “Cheney’s victim.”

What does he do when he gets out of hospital, aftering being shot by the Vice-President of the United States, peppered with bird shot in his chest and face, and suffering a mild heart attack?

He apologises!

From his own [statement](http://msnbc.msn.com/id/11409731/):

> [@](#):

> My family and I **are deeply sorry** for all that vice president Cheney has had to go through this past week.

And to make matters evern more clear, he seems to offer himself up for some more target practice, any time the Veep feels he needs some more target practice on unassuming lawyers:

> [@](#):
>
> And we hope that **he will continue to come to Texas** and **seek the relaxation that he deserves.**

Why, the man’s so unassuming that it’s clear he was born a thousand miles too far south. Plunk him into Saskatchewan or Manitoba and he’d fit right in, apologising for any inconvenience that his mild heart attack might pose to the doctors and nurses in our socialist hospitals.

Harry Whittington, Come On Up!
