That's what Alan Simpson told Chris Matthews on Hardball today.

I was at fault for getting my nose broken once.

I kept banging it into this other guy's fist during a fight.

I read an article that the SS notified the police within the hour.

So was the normal risk of hunting party fratricide
increased because this was the VP, and the party
included a bunch of Secret Service folks, and perhaps
a photographer?

They're old friends. Has the word "alcohol" been spoken out loud yet?

Always be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.

I cannot see the scandal in this one. There is no law that you call the press right away to report a hunting accident.

I'm sorry, but I'm thinking that the No. 2 elected official in this country might have a lot more on his mind than renewing some $7 dollar hunting license stamp. I mean after all, cut the guy some slack. Why doesn't he have staff to pick up on some these less critical details, like hunting license stamps? Where were his protective agents and why didn't they see who was behind our Vice President to ensure his safety?

I also want to send my prayers and thoughts to Mr. Whittington and his family for a speedy recovery.

We need to bomb Iran's nuke facilities, not hunt for birds.

Nothing else needs to be said about this event.

But that is NOT what the White House said.

Was Cheney wearing his glasses?
Do Whittington and Patrick Leahy look alike?

The sheriff said the Secret Service called him within ten minutes of the incident.

Good point, there were a lot of people and distractions, flushing Quail is a 360 degree sport, the act of "flushing" means they burst out from anywhere, Dogs help. Just an accident, it happens, a bit unsettling though. It seems odd to happen to a VP, what if it were Him instead and he was killed. Oh well I guess the same could be said for skying, remember poor Sonny Bono and the Kennedy kid.

Yes. Alcohol was not involved.

McClellan ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Just say "He messed up real bad, he's sorry, and fortunately, his hunting buddy will be alright. Mistakes happen and this should be a lesson to all hunters.".

Yep. The headline actually sounds more like it came from Alan Simpson than from the White House.
