Excerpt:
The downturn in Mr. Whittington's health significantly changed the tone of the White House reaction to the hunting accident. In Texas, Carlos Valdez, the district attorney in Kleberg County, said a fatality would immediately spur a new report from the local sheriff and, most likely, a grand jury investigation.
At the White House, Scott McClellan, the president's spokesman, began his day unaware of Mr. Whittington's heart attack. After being battered by reporters on Monday for the delay in the White House's providing information about the accident, Mr. McClellan opened his first briefing on Tuesday making light of the incident, as the late-night comics had done.

"You can't blame anybody else. I'm the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend"; President Bush's February 16 pronouncement that he is "satisfied with the explanation he [Cheney] gave" of the incident; and the Kenedy County, Texas, sheriff's February 16 announcement that no charges will be filed relating to the shooting. Following these events, two Fox News commentators have argued that any further effort by the press to pursue the story can only be motivated by a desire to embarrass the White House. Hume argued that "[t]he controversy over how Vice President Dick Cheney handled disclosure of his hunting accident last weekend seems to have begun to subside following his interview,"

Cheney "sprayed" 78 year old lawyer Harry Whittington with shotgun pellets, requiring an emergency trip to the hospital via ambulance.
As to an charges being filed, don't hold your breath:
Because these types of events are classified as "accidents," said John Rao, TPWD game warden, no charges are filed.Drinking is rarely involved in the accidents.
Alcohol was a factor in only two of the 101 total hunting accidents reported during the past three years, TPWD records show.What about an investigation? Is that foregone as well, since hunting shootings are presumed by the Game Warden to be accidents?

VP Dick Cheney accidentally shot and wounded a fellow hunter yesterday during a quail-hunting trip at the Armstrong ranch in Texas. The property is owned by Katherine Armstrong.
Armstrong said Cheney turned to shoot a bird and accidentally hit Whittington.Ms. Armstrong is a lobbyist.
In 2004 she reported three Texas lobby contracts, led by construction company Parsons Technology and Dannenbaum Engineering, a major contractor for Texas water projects. That year she teamed up with Pioneer Karen Johnson to lobby the Bush administration. Armstrong and Johnson lobbied then-Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman to adopt mad-cow tests made by Swiss client Prionics. They also lobbied the administration on undisclosed issued on behalf of Baker Botts (see James Baker, Robert Jordan and William Barnett).

Excerpt:
According to the two-page accident report released Wednesday by the city of Midland, Laura Welch was driving her Chevrolet sedan on a clear night shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 6, 1963, when she drove into an intersection and struck a Corvair sedan driven by 17-year-old Michael Douglas. Although previous news accounts have reported Douglas was thrown from the car and broke his neck, those details were not in the report. The speed of Laura Bush's car was illegible on the report. The speed limit for the road was 55. Neither driver was drinking, the police report said. Laura Bush and her passenger, Judy Dykes, also 17, were taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries, according to an accident account printed at the time in the Midland Reporter-Telegram. The police report indicates no charges were filed. That section of the report was left blank. ``As far as we know, no charges were filed,'' said Midland city attorney Keith Stretcher. ``I don't think it's unusual that charges weren't filed.'' The police report was released after an open records request was submitted to Midland officials in March. City officials had declined to release the records because the victims were under 18.
If it is your son or wife who is involved in a fatal accident that the state has labeled as murder, hire a lawyer immediately who can prepare the case to show tragic accidents are not crimes. Whether it is a Len Bias Homicide or two teens playing Russian Roulette, who don't know there is a shell in the chamber, hire the Shellow Group, tragic accidents are not crimes. Laura Bush wasn't charged with it, should you or your son or daughter be?http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Laura_Welch_Bush

Racy Material
- David Corn wrote that at the "posh" White House Correspondents' Dinner held April 30, 2005, Laura Bush followed her husband to the podium, "told her husband to sit down, and ... delivered a polished routine that ribbed her old man for being early-to-bed dull. She noted that she had told him, 'If you really want to end tyranny in the world, you're going to have to stay up later.'
- "Laura's well-written script included several shots of risque material. After revealing that come nine o'clock at night, 'Mr. Excitement is sound asleep, and I'm watching Desperate Housewives,' she added, 'If those women think they're desperate, they ought to be with George.' She then joked that she, Lynne Cheney, and Condoleezza Rice had hit Chippendale's late one night. And moments later--after referring to Barbara Bush as Don Corleone and joking about her husband's aversion to reading--she made fun of her number-one cowboy for knowing little of the ways of ranch life when they bought the spread in Crawford, Texas. Such a greenhorn was George, she explained, 'he tried to milk the horse. What's more--it was a male horse.'
- "It was a good performance but weird, for Laura had jabbed at her husband for not reading books, had suggested he was no powerhouse in bed, and had encouraged everyone in the room--and all those children at home glued to C-SPAN--to envision George W. Bush pulling on the penis of a horse." [3]

Tobacco
Mrs. Bush serves as ambassador for the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute's "Heart Truth" campaign, the goal of which is to raise awareness of heart disease in women. In February, 2003 she gave an interview to USA Today Weekend that resulted in a "Special Health Report" cover article. In the interview, Mrs. Bush completely omitted any mention of smoking as a risk factor for heart disease.[2] Her husband, George W. Bush, his family and administration have ties to the tobacco industry, and President Bush has for many years refused to ratify the World Health Organization's Framework Treaty on Tobacco Control, a global treaty to limit the promotion and advertising of tobacco products around the world.

2. Laura's joke about President Bush masturbating the phallus of a horse -- a male horse -- is absolutely unthinkable! The phrase "trying to milk a horse - a male horse" is a farm country idiom which means that Mr. Bush was masturbating a male horse! This is bestiality, and quite disturbing coming from the lips of the First Lady with President Bush sitting there laughing. But, most importantly, it reveals the true heart of Mr. Bush; when you consider Mr. Bush's reaction to her joking, you will see he has a heart of an unsaved sinner!

In all cases, it is being reported, the First Family had no comment.
As for Kutcher's comments in the cover story (the cover picture has him holding up his shirt, revealing a smooth chest, tight stomach and low-slung jeans), the TV star, 25, claims that at a party about a year and a half ago, he and the young Bushes -- accompanied by a Secret Service agent -- returned to his place afterward.
"The Bushes were underage-drinking at my house. When I checked outside, one of the Secret Service guys asked me if they'd be spending the night. I said no," said Kutcher.
"And then I go upstairs to see another friend, and I can smell the green wafting out under his door. I open the door, and there he is, smoking out the Bush twins on his hookah." ("Green" is a popular euphemism for marijuana.)
According to USA Today, the shaggy haired star of MTV's "Punk'd" and FOX's "That '70s Show" was not apologetic for his remarks to Rolling Stone, because in the article "he didn't say what was being smoked or who was doing the smoking," says spokeswoman Leslie Sloane Zelnik.
