Now this is just speculation on my part, but, based on the reports I'm hearing from the major network news guys, I'm wondering if maybe Dick Cheney was plotting to kill that lawyer by taking him along on a hunting trip. One female anchor on one of those overnight news shows on CBS said, "APPARENTLY Cheney shot Harry Whittington unintentionally." I caught her inference. That's what Cheney is saying, but (wink, wink) we know the real truth.
Cheney probably had no idea that when he shot the guy it would make the news, or that anyone along on the trip, including Secret Service agents, would ever tell on him. That's pathetically obvious when you consider that as soon as Cheney shot the guy, he didn't immediately call NBC's David Gregory from his cell-phone and announce the shooting. What's also obvious is that the entire White House tried to suppress this major story of international importance. Don't they realize that the media will hear about such things?
So, all the evidence comes back to my original point. Dick Cheney was trying to kill Mr. Whittington. Now, keep in mind I am only speculating, but as long as I am, let's think about why Cheney would want the guy dead.
At first I chalked it off simply to the fact that the guy's a lawyer. But Cheney probably deals with lots of lawyers, and so far it doesn't appear he's killed any. Unless he's been killing lawyers for years and this time he just messed up.
So, if it's not just an all-out vendetta against lawyers, what is the reason Cheney was trying to kill the man?
His age? I considered and rejected that idea. I can see the rationale in trying to get one more elderly person off Social Security. You know, save a little for himself, once his term is over. But again, unless the vice president has been killing scores of elderly, just one old lawyer probably won't make much of a difference.
So, not being able to figure this little attempted murder mystery out, I decided to do a little investigating. You'll never believe what I found. In 1999 a Texas governor by the name of George W. Bush, appointed Harry Whittington as head of the Texas Funeral Service Commission. That commission was charged with investigating improprieties in the funeral industry and fingers were pointed at some of Bush's staff. In fact, it was implied that Bush had looked the other way when certain funeral homes were engaged in wrongdoing.
Now, I know that this was a Governor Bush, and not our President Bush, but, can't you see how Cheney could have gotten confused with the names so similar? Could Cheney have figured that if he killed this Whittington that no one would ever connect President Bush with the Texas governor with the very same name?
I know. It's a wild speculation and requires a giant leap of faith, but, when you consider how Cheney probably plotted to kill Whittington, it all makes sense.
I have to admit that I'm somewhat proud of myself for doing this research. I haven't heard any of the big-time reporters make the connection, but, then, maybe they've never thought about how similar the President's name is to that Texas governor.
Kudos to you, Mr. Cook...kudos to you.
