Wait. Who is sorry?

Via King of Zembla:

My family and I are deeply sorry for all that vice president Cheney has had to go through this past week. We send our love and respect to them as they deal with situations that are much more serious than what we’ve had this week. And we hope that he will continue to come to Texas and seek the relaxation that he deserves.
--Harry Whittington

yeah, the Harry Whittington that was, like, seriously SHOT by the VP

Later, Mr Whittington was overheard saying "don't worry about the birdshot under my skin, could someone hand me a towel to clean off all the brown bits on my face and shoulders? I must have dragged them with me while crawling out of Dick Cheney's big round arse."
