When the person occupying the second highest political office in this
country shoots somebody with a shotgun causing serious injury, or possibly
worse, yes, that is worthy of news coverage and is of political importance.
The bigger question isn't why it took so long to report it to the press, but
rather why it took so long for that podunk Sheriff to investigate it.
That is ridiculously outrageous police procedure. Anytime there is a
potential for a crime having been committed, they should have started an
immediate investigation. Waiting until the next day gives time for stories
to be worked out and for alcohol or drugs to leave the system.
I'm NOT saying there was anything improper involved on Cheney's part, but
there sure was on the Sheriff's part. If Cheney's advisors had a brain in
their head they would have insisted on an immediate investigation. Now
there are doors left open for criticism and questions that should never have
been. Cheney's innocence of wrongdoing would best have been served by
getting the truth out right away.

RANT ON! Politics - No LBC
I feel bad that Harry Whittington was shot accidently by the Vice President
and I feel bad that Mr Wittington suffered a heart attack as a result of
the shooting, BUT is this the huge political issue that it is portrayed to
be in the news? It seems to me that this was an accident pure and simple. A
situation that had nothing to due with running the government or national
security. Perhaps if Mr Chenny had been shot, then that news would be of
political import. I really don't need to know the time line of the accident
nor do I think there was a problem that the White House did not tell anyone
about the shooting "right away."
If your wrench slips and you hurt your thumb and if you wish to tell us
about it on the list, I will feel sorry for you. I don't want to hear about
it on the National news.
Am I wrong about this??
