Mary K:<br><br>Quite right -- I've read about the 'error' that mainstream media have been repeating without question, w/o asking myself HOW such a stupido thing could have happened. WHO described the location of the wounds which featured in the accident report? Didn't the investigating sherrif's deputy or Wildlife Officer even check with the victim and note the diagram was flat-wrong?<br><br>But it's even worse, more bizarre than that -- and which I didn't even catch, tho I knew the basics.<br><br>Cheney reportedly swung to his right (where Whittington woulda been 'cept he had gone off to retrieve a bird his dog couldn't find) and shoots -- hitting Wittington in his RIGHT SIDE? So Wittington was facing BACKWARDS? 'Way to GO, deadeye.'<br><br>From the DailyKos diary Prof. Pan recommended on another thread (BTW, QUITE excellant):<br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/2/20/45756/6926">www.dailykos.com/story/20...45756/6926</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>--quote--<br>and one last thing <br>the whole shooting story still does not make sense. <br><br>Cheney swings to his right and shoots his pal in the right side. You do the math. This means that Whittington was facing to the rear. WTF?<br><br>An election does not make a democracy.<br><br>by seesdifferent on Mon Feb 20, 2006 at 10:13:32 AM PDT<br>--unquote--<br><br><br>Katherine Armstrong's claim that Whittington didn't 'announce' himself is ludicrous if one assumes he really WAS the 90 feet away which Cheney initially claimed (two semi-trailer lengths) -- especially problematic given Katherine claims to have been 300 feet from the incident -- a football field away. But as we've since seen, evidence points to Cheney (or whoever's gun it really was) was no more than 15 - 18 feet from the hapless victim. It's remarkable (but damnably routine) that MSM can't put two-and-two together themselves -- Just plain common-sense hunting-savvy is enough to see this story stinks.<br><br>Any wonder Cheney's legacy of frauds and lies and cover-ups have gotton a pass, if MSM is so bamboozled or coopted they won't call him on this?<br><br>Disgusted;<br>Starman <p></p><i></i>
