Wordsmith
look at how carefully crafted the words are that are coming out of the Whitehouse (and from Armstrong who is just passing along written words)
Rather than 'shot with a shotgun' they use 'sprayed with pellets' like it was from a hose.
The other 'no big deal' phrase was something like 'yeah, people get peppered like that from time to time'
another 'no big deal' was a statement that said. ' He got knocked for a loop, some of the pellets actually broke the skin!'
We're talking about a shotgun, it's meant to destroy flesh from hundreds of yards away. There's no pesky peppering going on here people.
The White House also mentioned that the guy might go home, failing to mention he was in the ICU at the time. It's the first time I've heard anyone listed as 'VERY Stable'
Well this VERY stable guy just had a heart attack this morning.....

Speaking of wordsmithing - hows about you with the dramatic effect of the shotgun? You know, the effective range of most shotguns is only about 50 yards, not "hundreds".
But fuck it - you were on a roll.
Hey Eliphalet,
It all depends on the choke if you are really concerned with details....and yes it can be hundreds...
The fact that you can Google Remingtons name doesn't impress me. I can Google too.
And another thing - the NRA test a Shotgun Marksman at 25-30 yards. So maybe theres some crazy long distance combat shotgun that can make the "hundreds" thing make sense but you're talking about two old men with thier hunting guns. The lawyer was hit from 25 yards away - still plenty lethal at that range but lets not overstate Cheney's mystical shotgun prowess to ruin an otherwise fine, fine point.
the bigger point here is that you cant out Google me. I'm In-Goggle-able.
i mean the point here isnt about my blogging from the hip and saying 'hundreds'
they are crafting sentences like 'sprayed with pellets' which is just stupid.
Exactly.
But my point being - you can't critizie thier wordsmithing without accepting criticism of your own. ;)
yes i can
Touché, pussy cat!
