There is a lot of weird stuff connected to this story. One item is the failure to notify the local sheriff of the incident. Don't they have lawyers in the White House? Oh wait, they are busy justifying torturing people. I am sooo stupid.
BUT the weirdest to me is that the medical specialists in Corpus Christi were consulting with the White House on diagnosis and treatment. These White House staff are, of course, cardiac and medical specialists assigned to be with the Vice President at all times. Talk about a health plan....this full-time medical coverage probably costs what....$5 - $10 million a year with travel, training, and overtime [maybe more].
Whenever I heard someone on tv say, "The Vice President is at a secure, undisclosed location" my brain translated this sound bite into "The Vice President is at a secure, undisclosed medical facility." Little did I realize he lives in a mobile medical trauma center.
