The fellow hunter accidentally shot by Cheney has suffered what is being termed "a mild heart attack," which is suspiciously like saying someone is "mildly deceased." The problem arose when one of the shotgun pellets lodged in his body apparently traveled a little closer to the heart. Although doctors don't expect any further complications, they have moved the guy back into intensive care as a precaution.
This raises an interesting question: Suppose--heaven forbid--the man's condition should worsen and he does end up mildly dead. Could the vice president end up being charged with murder? Or would it be "slight murder?"
Should that happen, the nation could end up moving into uncharted legal territory. For example, the Republican Congress has already said that top elected leaders can be impeached for receiving blowjobs. But what about murder, to whatever degree? Is that an impeachable offense? Or is a fellow Republican's taking of a human life less serious than a Democrat's oral non-sex?
Pretty "heady" stuff.
