Hunting with Dick Cheney is good for business

Getting shot in the face by Dick Cheney is good for business. Texas lawyer Harry Whittington is back in his office. He's getting lots of offers from from people who want him to be their lawyer. I'm not sure he would be the right guy for the job. He might stand up in court and apologize to the other lawyer. One collector has even offered to buy the birdshot that doctors removed from his face. I guess the projectiles in his heart aren't for sale yet. I imagine that some die hard Republican collectors might even be interested in Rush Limbaugh's drug tests or Ann Coulter's colonoscopy results. I don't wish bad health on Whittington, but since Conservatives don't believe in assisted suicide, if Harry Whittington ever feels he needs to depart this mortal realm, then they should put him in a cage, like the caged birds his hunting party went after and then release him in front of Dick Cheney and the two women from the hunting expedition. They need to be sure to bring lots of beer in case Dick's aim hasn't improved.

TIME.com: Harry Whittington -- Mar. 13, 2006 -- Page 1: "Three weeks after Vice President Dick Cheney accidentally shot him, Texas lawyer Harry Whittington is back to his routine, working all day at his office in Austin, Texas, his friends say. Whittington, who turned 79 last week, won't comment, but the facial wounds from the bird shot are 'almost unnoticeable,' says restaurateur Bob Woody. 'He's back, full force.' Whittington's card-playing buddy Joe Greenhill, a retired Texas Supreme Court justice, says, 'He's been besieged with people who want him to be their lawyer.' And here's an odd sign of Whittington's fame: a collector asked if Whittington would sell some of the bird shot plucked out by doctors.
