Anyone watching the press conference about the accidental shooting in Texas?

Posted on 02/13/2006 9:39:43 AM PST by tsmith130

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!

Yes, I saw it. One reporter asked if Cheney was going to resign. Another asked if the situation would have been more serious if the man who got shot had died.

I figure that Cheney's office did not put out the info on Sat, because it would have made front Sunday newspapers and also the talk shows. Who knows if it was a mistake in their part as far as not saying sooner. The friend is okay and peppered with freckles.... but for the msm to act like this was a planned event and Cheney needs to resign just proves how stupid the left and media has become.......

The only quiet one in the group so far is Helen Thomas.

And that's probably because she's sulking, wishing it were Cheney who had been shot, and wishing that it had been fatal.

Or.....drunker than a sailor.

Criticizing that "the Vice President didn't have a plan for this," as though there should be a policy manual for quail hunting accidents when vice presidents shoot lawyers.

Guess I was under the impression that among friends we could vent.

Guess you only want people around you with the same opinion as yours. I think Cheney's office erred by not releasing this story as soon as the man's relatives were notified.

I wish he had said,"To show the sincerity of our apology, we're taking the entire White House press corps hunting tomorrow."

Which is why the Senate Republicans came up short on conviction.

It'll be on the White House's web page soon.

Perhaps a silly question here...but did Cheney have a license to hunt in Texas? I can see this coming up and being a stupid part of the whole story.

It doesn't take a policy manual to realize that an accidental shooting involving the Vice President is a signficant news story and that a press release should have been issued as soon as Whittington's relatives were notified.

Me, too. He doesn't have control of these conferences, the leftwing nuts do. He needs to find a way to maintain control--fast! Refuse to answer questions from anyone with no manners would be a start.

Stupid; watch the "new, young" ones; they are so void of any knowledge it's quite frightening; I began to notice it during Hurricane Katrina; simply put, their educations and world experience are totally lacking and they are devoid of any sense of reference.

No kidding. Rush played the tape of Charlie Gibson interviewing the little Corpus Christi bimbette who "broke" the story, and it was nothing but an endless litany of "like, ya know" and "I had to like, just totally go get a pencil and transcribe this, ya know." You could just hear the whistling of the air between this little reporterette's ears. They must vacumn out all the contents of their heads in journalism "school."

I heard that he did - and quail season in Texas runs until February 26th, so he was hunting in season.
