Am really interested. In the UK, Cheney's victim is reported to be a lawyer. How much can you sue for being "peppered" from a distance of less than 20 yards, in the face? How much more will the lawyer be offered "not to make a fuss"?

2. Uh, in this country, Cheney doesn't give to people... |
|
... people give to Cheney. That's the way it works. The victim is a long time Bush-Cheney crony and Republican contributor. If he lives, he won't make a fuss. If he doesn't, it won't matter.
Remember the exchange between Milo Minderbender and Yossarian about Nately in Catch-22.

5. Republicans rarely eat their own... |
|
... and while it happens, on occasion, it's not often. Whittington probably won't even ask for miscellaneous medical costs.
Exceptional tribal loyalty in these Republican Texans, you know. :)
