In a profile of Whittington last year, the Austin American-Statesman described him as being old-fashioned enough that he did not have a computer or bill by the hour. Luckily for Dick Cheney, that seems to extend to his being able to laugh off being accidentally shot at by the Vice President. For a lawyer, even a Republican, that's no easy feat...
Thank goodness everyone's okay. Dick Cheney is okay and the poor man that he shot in Texas on Saturday, Harry Whittington, a 78-year-old fellow hunter, doesn't seem to be hurt too badly.

Says California Senator Barbara Boxer, a Democrat: "It's nice to see someone that young, that talented, show humility...
...Eventually, Ted rises victorious, only to realize that he is wearing the sandwich on his head. As I learned from the six-year-olds seated around me, this is very, very funny. The voices cast for the movie suggest some attempts at appeasing an older audience. In addition to Dick Van Dyke, Ted’s boss, we are treated to Drew Barrymore as Ted’s love interest, and the ubiquitous Will Ferrell voicing Ted himself. Ferrell delivers his trademark inflection and comic timing, and was far less distracting than I expected. The spirit of the movie...
