The press is devoting blanket coverage to Vice President Dick Cheney's hunting accident on Saturday, where he injured a friend while the two were quail shooting in Texas.
But the media didn't think it was such a big deal five years ago, when Sen. Hillary Clinton injured a police officer who was manning a security post at the Westchester County Airport while she was rushing to a fundraiser.
On Oct. 14, 2001, Clinton's Ford conversion van blew past a security checkpoint manned by Officer Ernest Dymond, who said later that he immediately feared a repeat of the Sept. 11 attacks.
"The van went by me and we ordered them to stop and it continued going and we continued to yell to stop," said Dymond. "I didn't know if we had a terrorist," he told the Washington Times.
The quick-thinking cop grabbed the door of Mrs. Clinton's vehicle and hung on for dear life - banging away on the window until her Secret Service driver stopped.
Injured in the process, Dymond was unable to return to work for weeks.
Two weeks after the accident, NewsMax caught up with Officer Dymond and asked if Mrs. Clinton or anyone from her office had bothered to apologize - or even check to see how he was doing.
"I can tell you, no," the hero cop said.
In contrast, Vice President Cheney was described as "very concerned" about the incident and spent Sunday checking on his injured friend "almost on a minute-by-minute basis," the New York Times said.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Clinton was the leading elected Democrat in the country, the episode received almost no media attention, with only a handful of local news outlets picking up the story.
Perhaps John Spencer needs to contact this cop and get him to make his statements during one of Spencer's senate speeches against Hillary!@
This cop is lucky to be alive.
If you know what I mean...
Vince wasnt so lucky...
bttt
Good find. Thanks.
BUMP
Wht bring up these ad hominem atacks on poor Hillary. She was very concerned when her "friend" Vince Foster was found in the park with his head blown out and nop blood around. She was so concerned she was there cleaning up his office for him minutes after the word got out, Or was it cleaned before the word got out. Anyway it got cleaned of a lot of things.Hillary was right there on the job.

CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF THE WORST KIND
(please FReep)
During the Gay St Patrick's Day Parade which hillary marched in, I think around 2000 or thereabouts, her goons knocked two TV cameramen to the ground and broke their cameras, because they were photographing her while the crowd was booing her. This was when she was planning to run for the Senate.
The media completely ignored the incident, including the New York TV station for which the cameramen worked.
Correct me if I'm wrong (somebody usually does), but I think the cop was told not to talk about it anymore...
The man who was shot left the group and did not announce his return.
THAT is not only bad form but will get you accidently shot.
While I agree with you that this may not have been Hillary's fault, Cheney is not totally at fault either. The way the media is making this out, Mr. Cheney aimed and shot a guy waving his arms and yelling with an orange vest on.
The stories are not being handled the same is the point.
No argument netmilsmom. I just don't want Conservatives playing the kids game of mommy billy did it too especially when the beast was not behind the wheel. Partial fault, complete fault is the speak of dreaded lawyers. I am sure the VP will take responsibility for his mistake unlike the beast. That is what Conservatives do.
Excellent find!
All I ask for is consistent treatment - something rarely seen in politics . . .
BUMP!!!
