    Lies! LIES!!!

    I'm sick of all these lies about our honorable Vice President. Now the liberal media, including Salon, is claiming that Whittington had a heart attack because birdshot got into his heart?

    That CAN'T be right. He was just lightly peppered, that's all. Salted, as it were. Cheney sprinkled the buckshot on him, the way a bee sprinkles pollen or Tinkerbelle sprinkles fairy dust. So there's no way it could have reached his heart. It could hardly have broken his skin! So this picture is an obvious fake.

    This sort of liberal media lie should be considered treason in a time of war.
