What keeps McCellan from taking off his shoe and throwing it at these people?! I'd last a nanosecond in that job. They keep badgering him about the EXACT time of everything. They're pissing over a few hours!
Yet, I keep hearing these media types referring to it as buckshot. If had been buckshot, the guy would probably be dead.
Good input. I bet that Whittington takes responsibility, before this is all over.
Ignore my post about Daily Kos/Drudge; that poster is wrong.
And I would say you were just as entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. The difference being I did not find it necessary to demean your position. I have no problem with differing opinions, but just prefer polite responses as opposed to lectures.
No, YOU are apologizing for his actions by saying that, well, Ted killed someone.
I don't think Cheney should resign for this. I do think it doesn't reflect well on his sense of caution to hunt in the manner that injured someone.
But waiting that long to issue a press release meant someone was asleep in his press relations department.
The press is looking for a smoking gun....
Good point. I never thought of that. It was much better for the GOP to leave Clinton in office.
I wish these reporters were half as avid in their hunt for the leaker to the NYT of NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
That starts in preschool. By the time therse idiots get to journalism school, their brains have been drained and gassed back up with pure leftist drivel.
If I were the family, I would appreciate the 22 hours to get myself together. All I'm saying is that the press is brutal. They will be camped out in front of this guys house in big trucks and trampling his begonias. Giving me a day to pull myself together after the shock, get my family prepared for the onslaught and put on my game face would be a very welcome.
Look, there is no doubt that the VP screwed up. That is the definition of how accidents happen. Inattention combined with sloppiness. But it was still an accident, no more, no less. To get one's knickers all twisted because we don't know soon enough is just silly. Why? Because frankly, it's not about us. And it most certainly is not about the press.
I wish Cheney's office would have followed the advice that Clarence Thomas gave to Charles Barclay - don't give them a hammer to hit you with.
It really was stupid to wait that long. I can't think of any justification.
God forbid anyone should sleep in the middle of the night.
LOL!
Prior to their becoming news readers, I am convinced that the TV bimbets only partied and entered beauty contests while in college.
Any truth to the rumor that the VP has invited Helen Thomas to go hunting with him for background?
LOL!
Now, it's all deadly serious .. Cheney = "the shooter" .. and the time spent assuring Whittington and probably Cheney himself were stable .. now that's "a cover-up," and Cheney's a reckless, unlicensed gun fanatic. I hope the NRA also jumps in with a rational position that explains the occasional hunting accident to the clearheaded public.
That's part of it; it's just that they weren't taught like we were; I know that sounds whiney, but they don't get in depth history lessons, or science lessons; they don't know anything.
There's just no depth to them.
They are snowing it again on C-Span RIGHT NOW.
