I can hear the speeches tomorrow, demanding a Special Prosecutor and FBI investigation. When Fox reported this, I couldn't help but chuckle as they identified Whittingham as the "victim."
For hunting accidents, this is relatively minor. As sure as the late night TV jokes will abound, I can't wait to see Dems jump on it to try to embarrass the administration and make total fools of themselves, again.
Let's face it--Cheney has a history of irresponsibly abusing booze and there is a definite possibility that he was drunk--and perhaps he didn't have a hunting license as well. That would explain the 24 wait to notify the press--they had to get the booze out of him and wake up some fish and game lakey to back-date the paperwork for the license.
