Gosh, could this administration possibly have twisted the facts a little? Like maybe he was closer than 30 yards? The poor guy has already gone from "peppered" to "shot in the face" to having a heart incident from deeply lodged pellets. Politicians will never learn that the coverup is almost always worse than the event they're hiding.Sam wrote:I am curious to find out how the pellet penetrated and got that deep into his body at such range...
Ahh Capt, Ted/Edward "I Can't Drive in Chappaquidic" Kennedy got away with killing a woman and still gets re-elected.captainjoe wrote:You know, if this was Al Gore or Ted Kennedy that had SHOT A MAN. Everybody else would be on this and rightly so since, like said before, it has been almost 200 years since the last shooting. I am sorry that this story embarressed the White House. But this is a story.

For instance, did you know that Britain and Sveeden BOTH lost in curling at the olympics?
Does anyone else even participate.Cubbie Bear wrote:Canukia all the way in curling
Granted you are not taking sides but there is something you are overlooking......how long did Ted/Edward Kennedy wait before telling anyone or try to get medical help for Mary Jo Kopehne? How many hours went by? Even pre cell phone era does make up for his lack of notification or his blatant disregard and lack of care.Cubbie Bear wrote:Not taking sides here, but.....
Ted.....
Drives off bridge.
Car sunk in remote location. Swam out, walked to where-ever, alone, sobered up and called the authorities. Pre -cell phone era.
Dick....
Shoots man, has full Secret Service entourage. Complete with every form of remote communication known to man. Has a complete medical staff, because he could have a grabber at any minute. Again with mobile communciation equipment. Many other individuals in hunting party, again probably all with cell phones. Yet it took a full day to notify anybody other than GW.
Ted's accident was terribly wrong, terribly tragic and yes, probably should have cost him his public service career. But it is not exactly comparing Apples to Apples when it comes to this COVER UP

There was no wait in getting medical help for the man that was accidently shot. The wait was in telling the media about the accident. Which the newswhores are fussing about and turning into THE STORY. They are more p*** about some small town newspaper breaking the story and are seeking revenge.
As Garry noted there is other more important news out there.
That is not quite right... It is reported that he/ they had proper hunting licenses.... they did not have a bird stamp that only became required within the last 5 months.Cubbie Bear wrote:without a state permit
When did that become illegal?parrothead216 wrote:
Your right Sam, A better question is "Why was the VP hunting on some lobbyist 's property in Texas?

and a good, conscientious, law-abiding hunter would know the rules and make sure that everything was in order before heading out for the trip.they did not have a bird stamp that only became required within the last 5 months.
Did I say it was Illegal....well excuse me! Maybe the VP should make better choices for appearance sake?LIPH wrote:When did that become illegal?parrothead216 wrote:

I have!! It freaked me out!!smacky wrote:When are they going to go ahead and pass that bill allowing hunting of humans? Then we can team up with Rutger Hauer and Gary Busey to hunt down Ice-T, like in Surviving the Game. Anyone else see that movie?
