God forbid anyone should sleep in the middle of the night.

Rationalize, rationalize.

They could have always released it first thing the next morning.

Why can't we bring ourselves to make a fundamental observation as to that the VP's office errored here? Is it just because the press gets over him for everything, we feel compelled to defend him even if a given action deserves some criticism from us? I've seen the hunting accident downplayed to a stupendous degree - on the web's leading gun information and safety website. I've seen people who would have gone in a conspiracy fit eight years ago about a 24 hour delay by Clinton rationize this delay.

Gawd, just step back from the spin machine for a moment and think through this one lucidly.

Cheney made a serious error in judgement in how he hunted Saturday.

He compounded that error in waiting so long to make the story public.

These are not offenses calling for resignation.

But we also should not be rationalizing them away.

Or on SUNDAY! Day of Rest! Hullo... 150 years ago, that's all people were ALLOWED to do on Sunday, was rest. Now it's all about getting things done you don't have time the rest of the other 7 days a week. *FEH*
