Prediction: RW spin on Whittington's condition
Now that Whittington's condition is a bit more serious than initially reported, my prediction is that the RW spin will take two contradictory positions.

One part of the spin will be that Whittington's condition isn't really that serious -- minor heart attack and all that.

The other part of the spin will be to go on the attack, labelling "liberals" as insensitive and cold for making jokes about what is or could have been a tragic accident, showing no feeling for the man's family and friends. Of course, the fact that RW idiots like Hannity have tried to downplay the seriousness of the incident and the fact that the WH itself made a joke about it today will be swept under the rug.

1. Spin: It's Clinton's fault
Spin # 2: It's the victim's fault.

That Whittington had a previously asymptomatic heart condition, and this incident and hospitalization has allowed docs to find it and take care of it. Cheney actually did him a favor. :crazy:

4. heres how its going down
the man is old.....he "may" have had previous heart damage and this just "triggered" his heart attack.....

as for the media.if this was anyone else.anyone at all.they would have interviewed everyone including the janitor at the hospital........every little dissapearance...murder...car chase...child kidnapping..florida Schavio case....everyone is interviewed by the media......
this case is so hush hush ...and thats the problem......its too quiet.........too covered up.........

6. Right, If He Dies, It Will Be Because of a Pre-Existing Heart Condition
and had nothing to do w/ the shooting. Just watch.
