After shooting Whittington, about 3 days later Cheney accepted an apology from the victim of the shooting spree for the pain it caused the VP.  Just curious, shouldn't the apology have been the other way around?

I think when two friends have something stupid like that happen, they are both sorry for the trouble that they have caused the other, even though neither one intended any of it.

People are making up all these excuses for him and saying that his apology was sincere. NOT!! One of the funny excuses I heard was "Well maybe he was DRUNK" lmao! well if that was the case always keep in the back of your mind "Drunk mind's think SOBER thoughts" so its no excuse for what he did. His career is a dud now and its all because of poor judgement. He should've been adult about it and just brushed it off his shoulder but he didn't now he's feeling sorry for himself. HA HA HA!!! I don't wish him luck at nothing he does and I will never support him but it don't bother me none because I never did.

No one is saying Cheney shot his hunting buddy on purpose, I've heard no talk of criminal charges,it was an accident,but not an accident I feel is easily excusable.\nA man who has been hunting as long as Cheney has no excuse for not knowing what is in his field of fire before pulling the trigger... He discredited himself, the public is merely talking about it....and the fact that he did not have the proper hunting license for shooting upland birds....lots of hunters in that area have made the same mistake because that tag is a new requirement, not a huge deal, but very entertaining.

I watched and I assume reporters must be paid by how dumb their questions are.  One asked if he would fire the V.P. (I think it's a great idea but) one would think that a reporter in the national press core would have the smarts to know you can't fire the V.P., impeach yes but fire no.  I'm sure the Pres was not in the best of moods and, as is the way most people would react, he didn't act the best.

Cheney said that he thought the guy was a deer.\n\n\nLOL\n\nI think he was itching to shoot someone at that time.\n\nPhD guy doesn't sound smart to me. If he was smart he wouldn't be posting his picture for everyone to see. But hey, I could put PhD on my name too! lol

The "chop"?  I am not sure I would call the death penalty "the chop".  It sort of says America is all about revenge, which it's not. And that's why I think this was a good verdict: it allowed Moussaoui's due process to run its course (though he still has appeals). He received much more justice than the victims of his co-conspirators.  I think some would say that this guy was so low on the totem pole that we're really looking for a scapegoat. As one of the family members of a 9/11 victim said, we don't really know what was going on in his mind on that day. Is he really more paranoid, more dellusional, as opposed to a true conspirator or mastermind? We don't really know. But he was part of it at least at some levels.  Today he proclaimed "victory" even though he had earlier stated he wanted the death penalty. This alone makes me wonder if he is in the right state of mind.  He wants to be the center of attention and this verdict might finally take away that attention from him.

It probably was an accident. I mean, why would Cheney shoot his fellow Republican on purpose?

What makes you think Cheney did that on accident? I sure don't think it was an accident, I think he really wanted to kill the man for not following orders about Scooter Libby. These people are Nazi's.

I always accept a heart felt apology.  Great that you were able to see where someone else was coming from and how you could have offended someone. Nice job of owning up to your mistake! :)

She made a stupid move and should be punished appropriately.  BUT should this really by Fox News' only story of the day?  Um' no.  It's about as sensational and ultimately worthless as Cheney shooting a man in the face.  It's a little disturbing silly that Tom Delay near the brink of jail time for  money laundering and conspiracy is slinging mud at her.

All that and more: the stop lights on my way to work were mistimed, so I missed them both. But I think that was Cheney's fault.\nIf only liberals could take a joke... one that's not named Clinton or Kennedy, that is.

look, we're all just humans. when u apologize it won't mean that the person can isntantly get over the hurt. it would take some time. it's normal. it would be too strange don't you think for people to just be angry at one second and then upon hearing your 'sorry', immediately act like nothing happened--in an instant? give them time. also, be prepared for rejection at first, after all, it is you who made the mistake. but, if they really refuse to forgive you for it, then don't waste your time on the matter. it's not your problem anymore. best wishes, pastor's wife. http://mwfrc.blogspot.com

I think he had too, I  wish he would have months ago..It has to help...I wish he would get rid of Cheney..Get Guliani as VP ...work with the Democrats...Lets turn this thing around...

Shhhhh...  It happened on Johnson's watch.  Can't have bad things happen on a Democrats watch.  I'm sorry you had to go through that.  When war gets mixed with POLITICS, the only looser is the guy in the trench.  We had stuff almost as bad happen in Viet Nam. \n\nSigned:  Another Guy in the Trench

Why are you surprised? Cheney shot a lawyer. Edwards is a lawyer. They take care of their own.

I never liked Kerry to begin with.  He acted like he was above the common person.  My husband is a recent enlistee in the National Guard along with my brother.  I have three cousins and an uncle in the Armed Forces and both my grandfathers retired from the military.  Every single one of these men have a degree of some sort and my uncle is a lawyer!  Come on now!  Kerry's words may have been intended for Bush but if that's the case, he should apologize for his wording.  He owes our troops an apology for his misstatement, not his stance.    He won't apologize because he stands by his position and dislike of president Bush.  He thinks if he apologizes , he's admitting he's wrong.  He'd be admitting a misconstrued statement.

Went to your first link and found the quote, the exact words. So they did report it.\n\nI've now heard three explanations of what happened. One it was a joke. Two, it was a joke and he messed up his lines, and now it was a statement about Bush.\n\nNow, I can understand how anyone can mess up a prepared speech, but to say you stand behind your statement and then say that its a botched joke about the president....and they know that’s what I was talking about.\n\nYes I know what you were talking about, our troops, you said it plain and simple.\n\nI don't understand why John Kerry just doesn't apologize for the statement, unless he meant it about our troops.
