I believe he went to intensive care because of his age, not the
wounds. I was sprayed with birdshot (abouot 200 yards away) when I
was a kid. I had a split second to duck my head when I heard the shot
hitting the tobacco barn. I had several shot hit my hat, and two his
my hand. Left a welt - didn't even break the skin.

"Hospital officials on Monday continued to offer few details on the
victim's condition, but said he was "very stable" and that pellets were
possibly still being removed. Sally Whittington told The Dallas Morning
News her father was being observed because of swelling from some of the
welts on his neck. His face "looks like chicken pox, kind of," she said.

"A hospital spokesman said Whittington was in the intensive care unit
because his condition warranted it, but he didn't elaborate. Whittington
sent word that he would have no comment on the incident out of respect
for Cheney."

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

Jesus, you went ballistic when Joe MacIntosh touched your shirt. What
would you do if he shot you in the face?
