"We all assume certain risks in whatever we do. Regardless of how experienced, careful and dedicated we are, accidents do and will happen. And that's what happened last Friday," Whittington said, meaning on Saturday.

1. That is double-plus ungood

P.S., Black is white.

[MadMaddie]

2. Ummm....He wrote his response...He is a lawyer...

I suspect he didn't make a mistake!!

[Arkansas Granny]

21. Who was the guy that was standing behind and to Whittington's

right? Did you see his eyes snap around to look at someone beyond Whittington when the remark was made?

[MadMaddie]

27. Probably a Jackbooted Brownshirt...

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

3. bwahaha! cause when I say left, i really mean right

:rofl::rofl:

:eyes: how stupid do they think we are?

[MadMaddie]

6. They are not depending on our stupidity....

They are depending on the 30% of their cult to be stupid:silly:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

13. sad but true

:hi:

[MadMaddie]

24. What was it that Forest Gump said....

My momma says that sometimes Stupid is as stupid does....:hi:

[bryant69]

4. Another piece of the puzzle falls into place

It's clear that Vice President Cheney's shot not only broke skin, it cracked the entire fabric of the space-time continuim. May God have mercy on our souls.

5. Well maybe they started drinking Friday.

After that it was all a blur, you know...

[TahitiNut]

31. Yep. It's called a "Lost Weekend" ... names of days become meaningless.

:shrug:

[yellowcanine]

7. Maybe he took a bb in the brain and from now on Saturday will be Friday

and vice versa. How distressing.

[helderheid]

8. Cute how they can presume what he meant.

[sabra]

9. that's the MSM @ work....

[ClassWarrior]

12. They're not "mainstream."

What more proof do you need?

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

10. When the fuck did it become the press' job to interpret what a guy meant?

Maybe if they were busy listening instead of pretending to be the smartest kid in the fucking class they'd figure out a thing or two.

NGU.

18. Excellent point

Guess journalism is no longer just dead. It's dead and forgotten.

[CottonBear]

11. He's a freaking lawyer. Lawyers don't misspeak like that. n/t

[maddiejoan]

14. "accidents can happen" Whittington said...

...meaning "That bastard Cheney shot me in the face on purpose just cause he could."

[daleo]

15. Winston Smith is on the job.

Re-writing history. We used to laugh at the Soviets for this sort of thing.

[spuddonna]

26. Right before he tossed his article down the Memory Hole...

That was the first thing I thought of too... Have you been listening to Malloy reading "1984", too?

[daleo]

28. No, but I read it years back

And it is the kind of book that sticks in your mind. Since Bushco days, I find I skim it now and again.

[spuddonna]

32. I think Rove uses it as a guidebook... n/t

[htuttle]

16. Just like when the FEMA guy told Dan Rather that they arrived Monday night

...on 9/10, right?

[spuddonna]

17. I just sent Reuters an email asking them about this...

I wonder if there are any other ways to ask them questions. I used the Contact a Reuters Editor web submission link...

THIS VIDEO CLIP STILL SAYS "Last Friday"---

20. Isn't this special? Now he's getting the Bush royal press

interpretations. I'm sure Mr. Whittington didn't literally mean Friday.

[MrBenchley]

22. And when the official report said Harry got shot on the left

they mean he really got shot on the right side....

And when Cheney said he hadn't been drinking, he means he was drunk as a skunk....

[deminks]

23. Do you read minds, too? Or did KKKarl give you a little

ringy dingy on the phone?

[savemefromdumbya]

25. that all becomes clear does he meanThursday?

maybe they were waiting for Cheney to dry out

[Uncle Joe]

29. Well they do sound a like, they both have day in them. n/t

[Catchawave]

30. NEED SCREEN CAPTURE

[Catchawave]

33. This guy is old, he has been blown away and had

some kind of heart episode, he looked and sounded feeble.

I am sure he was on pain killers, that has to be painful. Those pills can screw up your sense of time, and so can the accident, and being in the hospital itself. All of these factors should be looked at. I tend not to make to much out of this..
