Yeah, and your failure to answer proves my point.
This was a MINOR hunting accident. No laws were broken, national security was not compromised, and there was no information here that makes it relevent to keep discussing for more than an initial report.
Please elaborate on the value of continuing to discuss this in the media days after the event occured.

Sorry, but the Veep is a major elected political figure. Him injuring someone in a hunting accident is a signficant story. For you to insinuate otherwise is absurd.

I'm not a lawyer, but actually, wouldn't this be chargeable under whatever Texas calls "reckless discharge of a firearm?" A misdemeanor, since Whittington apparently wasn't seriously injured. I know the landowner called it Whittington's fault, but I think the lawyerly phrase is "strict liability" when you fire the gun that accidentally shoots your buddy.
