10. No expression of regret AT ALL!
Presented passively as if he hadn't been there at all. How odd, but in character for him never to take responsibility for anything. He knows his "story" is a lie!

20. Even "we're sorry this happened" isn't claiming responsibility, it's
just a way of expressing regret... This is disgraceful. Just from the fact that Dick was triggerman, even if this guy totally screwed up, by definition Dick owns most of the responsibility as the shooter. And he can't even express a "roundabout" sorry.

30. I did not hear anything close to an apology
I'll stand close to you he said and you are in our prayers.. He is not admitting he shot him is he?

At least this admin is consistent - they are consistently a day late and a dollar short. Or rather, three days late.

8. Too late, Sneer. This should have been breaking news and
a breaking apology by 8 pm. Saturday. Now we're at 2 pm on Tuesday?

no regrets? just a "timeline" of today saying he watched the hosp press
conference along with all of us. if that's so, they have some serious info management problems.

11. Is He Demanding An Apology From Whittington or His Family Yet?
I fully expect them to demand an apology from him. After all, he ruined Dick's day.

16. If Dick's thoughts had been with Whittington on Saturday evening,
Whittington wouldn't be needing his prayers right now.

22. New Medical Terminology on Faux News
All afternoon on FNC there has been brand new medical terminology: MINORheart attack. Anybody ever heard Minorheart attack used before like this. Faux is backpedaling for BushCo and the Shooter as fast as they can speak. Mr. Whittington did not have a Heart Attcak. He had a Minorheart Attack. Their guest right now feels sorry for.....the Shooter. Doesn't mention the victim.
