The Role
February 15, 2006 ( politics )
The Washington Post led today with this story about the lack of an apology from Cheney:
The Republicans said Cheney should have immediately disclosed the shooting Saturday night to avoid even the suggestion of a coverup and should have offered a public apology for his role in accidentally shooting Harry Whittington, a GOP lawyer from Austin. Whittington was hospitalized Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Tex., and was moved back into the intensive-care unit after suffering an abnormal heart rhythm yesterday morning.
Excuse me, role in accidentally shooting Harry Whittington?? Was this some elaborate plot? Were those shifty little quail involved? Has the NRA been lying all these years, and guns do, in fact, kill people of their own volition? Was Loki/Coyote/Ananzi/Lucifer there pulling the trigger while Cheney's role was just holding the gun?
For chrissakes, the sentence should read "should have offered a public apology for his role in accidentally shooting Harry Whittington"
At least, I guess, they didn't talk about his role in accidentally peppering Harry? (Also, my idea of what "peppering" means does not involve having pellets getting lodged in my heart. JSA.
On that note, I would like to publically apologize for my role in not getting my policy papers written, my role in the current smell of the bathroom, my role in the unmadeness quality of my bed... and there's some other things which I think I'll hold off on for at least another 18 hours before discussing.
